Engineering Manager, Runtime

Who we are

The Nomic Foundation is a non-profit advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. We build open-source runtimes, compilers, build systems, and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes, allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the Ethereum ecosystem through deep technical work on critical developer infrastructure, where your specific contributions will have a tangible impact.

About the team

The EDR team builds an Ethereum runtime designed for developer tooling. Our users are initially the Hardhat users and, later on, third-party tooling developers integrating our runtime APIs to analyze Solidity code execution for their own users. In its first iteration, EDR is a complete Rust rewrite of Hardhat’s Ethereum network simulation used for Solidity development and testing before production deployment. We aim to build a reusable runtime library to empower the Ethereum ecosystem to build better code execution analysis tools.

This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-4 timezones.

Your contributions will directly impact an ecosystem that is shaping the future of finance, data, and ownership. You won’t be working on optimizing a revenue stream to increase shareholder profits; you’ll create value for the Ethereum community and developer ecosystem.

Lean and robust

We run robust engineering practices and lightweight processes that provide us with structure and fast decision-making. Your time will be spent on technical challenges, coding, and launching features.

We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We recognize they are essential to growth and innovation, and sometimes the perfect candidate might not tick every box in the job description.
