About the Ethereum Foundation
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a global non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Ethereum. Our mission is to ensure the long-term success of Ethereum by allocating resources to critical projects, being a positive voice within the Ethereum ecosystem, and advocating for Ethereum to the outside world.
Job Description
We’re seeking passionate and collaborative individuals who are excited about testing Ethereum to help reduce the risk of software failures across the protocol. As part of the EF Testing Team, you'll collaborate with other testers, dev operatooors, client developers, and protocol researchers to ensure protocol upgrades are thoroughly and efficiently tested.
As a Protocol Tester, you’ll use your technical expertise to enhance testing methods, implement tests for new and existing protocol features, and improve our test infrastructure. This role involves working with complex subsystems that are integral to the Ethereum Protocol.
As an open-source project, we operate transparently and communicate in publicly accessible channels daily, so being comfortable working in the open is essential. In this fast-paced, constantly evolving, and sometimes unpredictable space, your work will be dynamic and may shift in response to changing priorities.
Responsibilities
- Implement and execute reliable, deterministic tests that ensure the robustness of protocol upgrades
- Improve test methods and enhance test infrastructure to improve efficiency and coverage of protocol feature testing
- Collaborate with other teams to ensure seamless code integration and test results
- Contribute to the open-source community by sharing ideas, improvements, and solutions in public channels
