The Collateral Engineering Services Core Unit (CES) is a crucial aspect of growing MakerDAO and central to the protocol’s success. Onboarding diverse and quality collateral assets to the Maker Protocol scales-up Dai availability, increases the demand for Dai, supports financial inclusion, and ultimately helps mitigate risk while maintaining Dai stability.

The Core Unit Mandate focuses on three distinct areas: Dai supply, collateral infrastructure, and DAO principles. Moreover, a formalized and public collateral onboarding process upholds the DAO’s principles of complete transparency and accountability to the Maker community. The mission of the Collateral Engineering Services Core Unit is to;

  • Scale the Dai supply and reduce risk using desirable and diverse collateral

  • Build, deliver, and operate the infrastructure for critical and sustainable core collateral management services

  • Uphold the MakerDAO core principles.

The Role

We’re looking for a Smart Contract Engineer that can help productize and implement the collateral management process for crypto native and real world assets. This means working closely with Oracles, Protocol Engineering, and Risk teams to determine how we can automate the onboarding of the existing collateral types and new ones including NFTs and real world assets.

You will have a high-degree of exposure to oracles, L2 scaling solutions and decentralized governance, you will interact with various stakeholders within MakerDAO, look at the current collateral onboarding process and design the set of Smart Contracts that will allow anyone to signal and onboard new asset types directly from their UIs.  We need someone who can write, deploy, optimize and secure complex smart contracts, that handle billions in value.
