Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Digital Assets - Blockchain Software Developer - **Company:** Franklin/Templeton Distrs Inc - **Location:** New York, NY, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Experienced - **Salary:** $125,000.0 - $165,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** JavaScript (Programming Language), Artificial Intelligence, Code Generation, Code Review, Continuous Integration, Cursor (Graphical User Interface Elements), Software Debugging, Formal Verification, Node.Js, Blockchain, Software Engineering, TypeScript, Web Application Frameworks, Large Language Models, Information Technology, Ethereum, Solidity, Blockchain Security - **Published:** July 17, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.dice.com/job-detail/64e2b36a-a581-47cd-badf-c9c419b0fae3 ## About the Role * 5+ years of software engineering experience on mission-critical or production-grade systems * 3+ years of hands-on blockchain development and smart contract deployment * Demonstrated, ongoing use of AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) as a core part of the engineering workflow - not experimental or occasional * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience Required Technical Skills * Solidity: Production-level proficiency; experience writing, deploying, and auditing smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, or similar) * Stellar: Working knowledge of the Stellar network is desired. * TypeScript/JavaScript: Proficiency in full-stack development with Node.js and modern frameworks * AI/LLM Tooling: Hands-on experience using AI assistants for code generation, review, debugging, and test authoring; ability to craft effective prompts and evaluate output quality in the context of blockchain security * Testing & Security: Experience with smart contract testing frameworks., * Experience with permissioned or hybrid blockchain architectures in regulated financial environments * Exposure to compliance considerations for on-chain securities (KYC/AML, transfer restrictions, listing) * Rust proficiency, particularly for non-EVM smart contract platforms (Soroban, Solana, Aptos) * Experience contributing to or driving technical standards, ADRs, and engineering best practices within a team Working Style * Comfortable with async-first communication across globally distributed time zones * Strong problem-solving skills with a bias toward shipping and iterating * Collaborative mindset with the ability to give and receive direct, constructive feedback ## Description We are looking for a Blockchain Development Engineer who combines deep smart contract expertise with fluency in AI-assisted development practices. This is not a role where AI tools are optional or aspirational - we expect you to use AI coding assistants, LLM-driven testing and review workflows, and generative AI tooling as core parts of your daily engineering process. Your blockchain fundamentals must be strong enough that you can critically evaluate and improve AI-generated output in a domain where deployed bugs are irreversible and security is non-negotiable., * Use AI coding assistants (Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent) as a primary development accelerator across the full lifecycle - prototyping, implementation, testing, and documentation * Apply LLM-driven workflows for automated code review, test generation, security analysis, and architectural reasoning on smart contract codebases * Critically evaluate AI-generated Solidity and Rust code for security vulnerabilities, gas optimization issues, and compliance gaps - recognizing that AI output in smart contract contexts requires expert human judgment * Identify and implement opportunities to integrate AI tooling into team workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and quality assurance processes * Stay current with rapidly evolving AI-assisted development tools and techniques, evaluating new capabilities for team adoption Blockchain Engineering * Design, develop, and deploy smart contracts across EVM-compatible networks and Stellar, with a focus on security, efficiency, and regulatory compliance * Build and maintain multi-chain deployment infrastructure and tooling to support the department's blockchain footprint * Test and audit smart contracts using formal verification tools and security frameworks (Foundry, Slither, or equivalent) * Maintain and upgrade deployed contracts with backward compatibility, migration strategies, and rigorous change management * Collaborate with engineers, product partners, and designers to translate business requirements into robust on-chain solutions ## Related Videos - [Trust as the Key Concept in Future Mobility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/581-trust-as-the-key-concept-in-future-mobility) - [How to Build for Decentralized Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/931-how-to-build-for-decentralized-systems) - [SSO with Ethereum and Next JS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/288-sso-with-ethereum-and-next-js) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
