About the Team
- The Hardhat team builds our established and market-leading products.

- We deliver these features at scale, with users ranging from beginners learning the ropes to teams managing production systems with billions in user on-chain capital at stake.
- We aim to provide the Ethereum ecosystem with a professional developer tool that they can rely on to rigorously build, test, and maintain Ethereum software.
- This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-4 timezones.
