--- tags: recruitment --- # Software engineering intern @ Backd Backd is a yield aggregation and liquidity delegation protocol on Ethereum. Backd relies on different yield-generating strategies, which allocate liquidity to various protocols in order to generate competitive returns. Additionally, liquidity providers are able to specify a set of market conditions on which part of their liquidity will get automatically delegated or used for a specific purpose (for example, to top up an over-collateralized loan). While Decentralized Finance (DeFi) offers a lot of potential for building capital efficient products, often times capital is not used efficiently. Furthermore, automation of workflows is still rather limited in DeFi. Backd aims to solve that. By offering a suite of actions, which empower users to automate how their funds should be used, Backd enables users to earn yield on their capital until funds are needed elsewhere. ## Main responsibilities * Develop off-chain components used for Backd * Develop frontends, including Backd main UI as well as external and internal tools * Help with smart contract development and testing ## Requirements * Strong interest in blockchain systems and DeFi At least two of: * Experience implementing web application backends (preferably with Python, JS or Go but other languages would work too) * Experience implementing web application fontends (preferably experience with ReactJS, Redux and TypeScript) * Experience implementing web3 applications and interacting with blockchain systems ## Nice to have * Experience with Solidity * Experience implementing off-chain systems such as arbitrage bots * Experience working with and contributing to open-source software ## Why Backd? We are building an extroadinary team. We are also very friendly and easy to get along with. We love to build cool products, ship fast and stay with the newest trends in DeFi. If you are passionate about DeFi, enjoy working with others and solving challenging engineering problems then this role could be a great fit.
