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

    • We’re seeking someone who
  • Has a strong passion for Ethereum and blockchain technology
  • Is comfortable working in an open-source environment where communication happens transparently
  • Has the ability to work in a highly independent and self-directed manner
  • Has a proven ability to drive innovation and deliver on ideas

    • To thrive in this role, you should have:
  • Foundational knowledge of the EVM or Consensus Layer protocol
  • 2+ years experience as a software tester
  • 2+ years experience with Python
  • Intermediate experience working in Linux environments
  • Familiarity with the entire software development life cycle
  • A desire to openly share improvements, ideas, failures, and successes

    • Bonus Points
  • Contributed to ethereum/execution-spec-tests, ethereum/consensus-specs or another related repository
  • Familiar with Ethereum beacon chain design and recent upgrades
  • Experience with the pytest test framework
  • Other open-source contributions
  • The ability to automate and optimize frequent tasks in CI pipelines
  • Experience with the Go Programming Language
    • Start Date
    We’re looking for 2 Testers:
    1. Protocol Tester (Consensus Layer focus): Starting as soon as possible.
    2. Protocol Tester (Execution Layer focus): Starting Feb. 2025.

    Contract Details
    - Optimally full-time position, part-time (4 days) possible
    - Flexible work and working hours
    - Competitive compensation
    - Remote first, with offices in Berlin and Boulder (US)
