Our Blockchain Core Engineering team is the longest-standing team at Nethermind. The execution layer client is a full Ethereum client implementation written in C# .NET. It runs on all major platforms supporting Ethereum mainnet, Clique, and AuRa chains, as well as Gnosis, Energy Web, and private networks. It comes with features like Prometheus/Grafana dashboards, seq enterprise logging, and complete JSON RPC, including two formats of tracing, and offers a variety of advanced built-in plugins. On the back of building the popular Ethereum client, the core engineering team also works closely with the L2 tooling team on delivering Juno, a full-node client implementation for Starknet.

Nethermind Research merges the fields of cryptography, decentralized finance (DeFi), and protocol research, creating synergies that enhance each respective area. Within cryptographic research, our expertise spans areas like zero-knowledge proofs, distributed validator technology, decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, privacy-preserving payment systems and private voting.
Within DeFi our role involves conducting technical due diligence on various protocols, engaging in on-chain analytics, designing tokenomics, and developing quantitative financial models. Our primary focus is researching the latest technological trends in the DeFi space, and guiding financial institutions on particular investments or blockchain initiatives. Our approach integrates stress testing, system refinement, quantitative scrutiny, risk evaluation, and the deployment of multi-agent simulations.
Protocol research in Nethermind focuses on various designs of L2-s, their decentralization, and MEV research, such as PBS. We investigate how rollups are built and where their security comes from, and analyze potential security risks.

The team's activities are organized into three core groups:
- Smart contracts audits. We use manual inspection and automated analysis tools when performing security audits on Solidity and Cairo smart contracts.
- Formal verification of smart contracts. Formal verification is the act of proving or disproving the correctness of intended algorithms underlying a system concerning a certain formal specification or property using traditional mathematics methods.
- Real-time monitoring of smart contracts as an official Forta bot developer.

We're forging tools and products for ZK scaling solutions. We also collaborate with top protocols like Aave and Uniswap. We're looking for bright minds, creative problem solvers, and the weirdos keeping Starknet strange. The cutting-edge toolbox we build:
Voyager - The Starknet block explorer and data analytics platform
.svg){kind=icon}
Juno - A full node Starknet client implementation
Starknet.GO - A Starknet RPC library in Golang
Beyond tooling, we're deeply involved in the Starknet ecosystem, from Starklings to ENS integration, Cairo education, and governance mechanism design. As part of the team, you will work with an ecosystem of talented builders inside and outside Nethermind.

The Nubia team grabbed my attention right away, and I quickly got involved with their projects, like Warp, when I joined Nethermind. I loved diving into the blockchain space, learning about ZK rollups, L2 solutions, Starknet, low-level programming, and compilers. The talented team helped me grow and improve. After my internship, I continued working on Warp, now as its technical lead. It's amazing to see our progress and I'm grateful for the experience!.
Carmen Irene Cabrera Rodríguez
Warp Lead
I joined Nethermind's internship to gain protocol engineering expertise. Tomasz interviewed me and introduced me to AAVE on Starknet and Juno team. I contributed to both projects, learning Cairo and Starknet architecture. Later, I explored Starknet governance with Starkware's team. As an intern, I influenced governance decisions! Now, I work full-time on Nethermind strategy and Starknet governance. I'm totally STARK-pilled.

My Nethermind internship was incredible! With autonomy, ownership, and access to brilliant minds, I quickly learned new skills. I was captivated by Starknet and our Nubia team's products, eventually helping Voyager as a product manager. Now fully engaged in the project, I highly recommend this internship as a gateway to the blockchain space.

During my internship at Nethermind, I worked on challenging projects that helped me grow personally and professionally. I contributed to the decentralization of Starknet with Juno, and could finally confidently refer to myself as a Protocol Engineer. I am also working with the Starknet Africa Community to involve more developers with Starknet.

Nethermind changed my life. I joined as an intern with no web3 experience, but with the flexible internship culture, I explored the ecosystem and developed a passion for DeFi. I contributed to projects like DeFi Option Vaults and DEXes and am now a full-time DeFi Engineer.
The wide variety of projects and encouragement to explore led to a fulfilling career in web3.

The Nethermind Internship Program is a lifetime opportunity. I joined it while finishing my degree, and now I'm an SRE lead. The fantastic mentoring, tooling, and growth opportunities Nethermind offers enabled me to contribute to The Merge and lead my first big open source project. Looking forward to what the future holds.
Miguel Tenorio Potrony
Site Reliability Engineer Lead
I joined Nethermind's Internship Program with basic knowledge of Ethereum and blockchains. With the amazing mentorship from the team, I built a functional implementation of Account Abstraction for both Nethermind and Geth. Now as an Ethereum Core Developer, I’ve worked, amongst many interesting things, on delivering The Merge for multiple chains. Very grateful for the opportunity.
Jorge Mederos
Ethereum Protocol Engineer
During my Nethermind internship, I started by developing smart contracts and then joined the Forta security project. It was a great learning opportunity and helped me gain in-depth knowledge about all Ethereum components. After working on 20+ protocols, I became a team lead, helping protocols onboard into Runtime Monitoring.

Nethermind's internship introduced me to Starknet, changing my career trajectory. Juno enabled me to gain valuable software engineering experience in the ecosystem, learning and contributing to the thriving Ethereum ecosystem. Since my internship ended, I continue as a Juno developer, grateful for the transformative experience and the opportunity to make substantial contributions.
Josh Klopfenstein
Protocol Engineer
During my Nethermind internship, I had the freedom to work on various Ethereum projects, focusing on smart contract security using tools like Slither, Echidna, and Manticore. As a Forta team member, I scrutinized interesting transactions, becoming comfortable with the EVM and Solidity's inner workings. This experience allowed me to start the auditing team I am currently part of.
