The Future Belongs To You - Blockchain DeFi Engineering Intern

Blockchain Engineering Intern (Ethereum / Web3 Infrastructure)

Company: World Trade Factory (SKXYWTF)

Location: Remote / Hybrid

Type: This is an Unpaid Internship starting immediately

About the Role

World Trade Factory is building next-generation digital infrastructure at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and global markets. We are looking for a Blockchain Engineer to help design, build, and test smart-contract-based systems and supporting infrastructure in an educational, research-driven, and production-oriented environment.

This role focuses on engineering, security, and architecture — not hype or speculation.

What You'll Work On

• Design and develop smart contracts on Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains
• Implement and test ERC standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 as needed)
• Build token utility and staking logic (testnet-first, security-focused)
• Integrate smart contracts with off-chain systems (APIs, indexers, dashboards)
• Write automated tests and conduct basic security reviews
• Support on-chain analytics, event indexing, and data pipelines
• Document contract behavior, assumptions, and upgrade paths

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong proficiency in Solidity and EVM fundamentals
• Solid understanding of Ethereum architecture, gas mechanics, and transactions
• Experience with smart contract testing frameworks (Hardhat, Foundry, or Truffle)
• Familiarity with web3 libraries (ethers.js, web3.js)
• Knowledge of common smart contract vulnerabilities (reentrancy, overflow, access control)
• Comfortable working with Git and code reviews

Nice to Have

• Experience with Layer 2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon)
• Familiarity with tokenomics modeling (emissions, incentives, staking design)
• Exposure to on-chain analytics (The Graph, Dune, custom indexers)
• Backend experience (Node.js, Python)
• Prior security auditing or formal verification exposure

What We Care About

• Engineering discipline over hype
• Clear documentation and reproducibility
• Security-first mindset
• Ability to reason about incentives and edge cases
• Comfort working in early-stage, research-heavy environments

For Students / Interns (OPT / CPT Eligible)

• Project-based, academically aligned work
• Testnet and simulation-focused development
• No fundraising, token sales, or solicitation activities
• Responsibilities aligned with computer science, engineering, or blockchain coursework

What We Offer

• Work on real blockchain infrastructure — not demos
• Mentorship and exposure to AI + macro research systems
• Flexible work structure (remote-friendly)
• Opportunity to grow into long-term or paid roles as we scale
