Summary
Merciv is a company that helps enterprises turn messy, underused data into governed, high-confidence intelligence. They are seeking a Solidity Engineer to design and implement smart contracts for decentralized marketplaces, focusing on data tokenization and licensing systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and test Solidity smart contracts for data tokenization, licensing, and pricing workflows
- Develop robust on-chain data structures to represent enterprise datasets, metadata, and access conditions
- Architect marketplace and exchange primitives including order books, escrow, dispute resolution, and royalties
- Integrate pricing logic grounded in financial derivatives (e.g., options pricing, bonding curves, auction models)
- Optimize gas efficiency and ensure upgradability where needed using proxies or modular contracts
- Collaborate with auditors and internal security teams to harden contracts against vulnerabilities
- Work cross-functionally with product and protocol teams to define new features and mechanisms
Skills
- 3+ years of Solidity development experience with a strong portfolio of deployed smart contracts
- Proven understanding of EVM architecture, smart contract security, and gas optimization
- Experience building or contributing to Web3 exchanges, NFT marketplaces, or DeFi protocols
- Deep familiarity with data modeling, complex storage patterns, and Solidity-specific design patterns
- Knowledge of token standards (ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155, ERC4626) and upgradeable contract frameworks
- Exposure to pricing mechanisms, such as dynamic pricing curves, auctions, or option-like instruments
- Proficient in development tools (Hardhat, Foundry, Tenderly, etc.) and testing frameworks (Chai, Waffle)
- Comfortable with Git-based workflows and agile engineering processes
- Background in quantitative finance, information theory, or data licensing models
- Experience with cross-chain messaging or bridging technologies
- Contributions to open-source projects in the Ethereum ecosystem
- Interest in AI workflows, data provenance, or zero-knowledge cryptography
