- Reworking the Gas Model for new Cryptoeconomic models
- Enhancing Transaction Processing
- Implementing difference consensus algorithms
- Extending geth to support HSMs
- Cross-chain interoperability

You should be familiar with Blockchain fundamentals and have enough experience of using them to understand areas that you feel need to be improved. You should be open-minded and prepared to engage in design discussions, using empirical evidence to back up assumptions. You should be a team player and used to working towards a common goal. Clearmatics has an ambitious program to create a suite of Blockchain tools and products that will enhance the ecosystem and form the basis for future products and businesses.
