Company Overview

NexQloud is building a next-generation decentralized cloud platform (DCP) that leverages a globally distributed network of NanoServers and a Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure. Our blockchain is a Cosmos-SDK-based chain, forked from Evmos, and integrated with a robust token economy using NXQ tokens.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Blockchain Developer to take full ownership of the ongoing development, upgrades, and ecosystem expansion of NexQloud’s Layer 1 blockchain platform. You will be responsible for maintaining our blockchain, implementing advanced features such as governance-based wallet locks, decentralized exchange mechanisms, Hyperlane bridging, and custom consensus configurations.

Implement hard forks, bug fixes, and performance improvements with minimal downtime.
Manage validator coordination, genesis configuration changes, and chain parameter updates. Smart Contract Development
Write, test, and deploy Cosmos-based smart contracts for:
- Decentralized Exchange (DEX) functionality (AMM, swaps, liquidity pools)
- Wallet lock/unlock rules governed by governance proposals
- Transaction volume caps and thresholds
- Staking reward logic and slashing rules
Optimize contract gas usage and security.

Bridge Integrations & Interchain Connectivity

Integrate with Hyperlane or similar bridging protocols to allow cross-chain NXQ token transfers.
Implement interchain messaging and asset flow (IBC integration).

Strong proficiency in Go (Golang), Rust (for Cosmos), and Solidity (optional).
Experience deploying and upgrading production blockchains.
Deep understanding of staking, governance, validators, tokenomics, and IBC.
Prior work on DEXs, cross-chain bridges, or smart contract-based access control is a plus.
Familiarity with blockchain monitoring, RPC/WebSocket endpoints, and chain analytics.
Experience with forked chains, custom module development, and network upgrades.
Strong version control (Git), CI/CD workflows, and Linux-based development.

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have)

Knowledge of Hyperlane, Axelar, or other IBC bridge protocols.
Familiarity with Cosmos governance tooling (Commonwealth, Keplr, etc.).
Security auditing experience or formal verification techniques.
Contributions to open-source Cosmos projects.
