Have you ever wanted to get involved in the development of the main Ethereum protocols? If so, there is a new program for you to discuss. As part of an initiative to support Procotol EF, I am very pleased to announce the “Senior Developer Apprenticeship Program”.
What to expect
Hi 👋, my name is Piper Merriam. I have been part of the Ethereum ecosystem for some time. It’s been a crazy adventure. I’m reasonably sure this is the best job I’ll ever have. This program is my way of trying to help more people find their way to impactful and interesting engineering work. Every day I work with incredibly smart and hard-working people on cutting-edge protocol. With the support of the Ethereum Foundation, I am excited to give more people the opportunity to find their place in this ecosystem.
Some details:
- Applications open until May 31: Apply here
- Program from mid-June to mid-September
- Participants will identify and define a project to improve Ethereum’s core protocols.
- Participants will have direct access to the core developer community of organizations and teams.
The program will provide participants with the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of Ethereum protocols, as well as provide them with first-hand experience of how protocol development works and how they can participate in this process.
Impact on Ethereum
Developing basic protocols is not easy work, but it is interesting, challenging and rewarding (at least for me). Unfortunately, this work also presents a very high barrier to entry. This requires a high degree of mastery of the protocols themselves. This requires a thorough understanding of many different engineering concepts. This requires excellent written and verbal communication skills. The intention of this program is to provide an easier on-ramp to overcome these obstacles and to provide you with the initial support and guidance that will enable you to work side by side with myself and all other “core developers” .
My work with Ethereum is the greatest “lever” I have to move the world. We have a lot of very interesting and difficult problems waiting for you. Does anyone else want to move the world with me?
