Jobs in Richmond Hill, United States

Background:Build-A-Bera is the incubator/accelerator arm of Berachain, a high-performance EVM-identical Layer 1 blockchain turning liquidity into security, powered by Proof of Liquidity (PoL). PoL aligns incentives between liquidity and security across all stakeholders, driving unparalleled efficiency for users and builders while giving validators unprecedented control over network-wide economic incentives. Berachain uses our novel BeaconKit framework for building modular EVM blockchains, making Berachain the first blockchain beyond Ethereum to maintain full client diversity including EIP-4844, EIP-4788, and full SSZ Encoding, all while leveraging CometBFT to bring Single-Slot Finality to the table.
