Sherlock | Frontend Engineer | Fully remote | Full-time
Sherlock is a decentralized protocol built by crypto missionaries.
The goal is simple: protect end users from smart contract exploits.
We are live on Ethereum mainnet with a $30M TVL guarded launch. We have raised from top Silicon Valley and crypto investors.
We're looking for a frontend developer who is passionate about crypto and user experiences. You have full autonomy on the frontend and you choose your stack. Experience with Web3 is preferred but not a deal-breaker; just be ready to learn a lot in a short amount of time.

Sherlock | Engineering roles in DeFi/smart contract security | Work anywhere | Part-time or full-time
Come join the DeFi movement and have your finger on the pulse of everything. Sherlock is a protocol designed to help other protocols launch safely and keep their users' funds safe over time. We believe crypto is the greatest movement of our time and after 3 coffee chats I know you'll feel the same way. We could use some help on frontend, and we're especially looking for people who want to go super deep on Solidity. Being a dev and a security expert is the same job in crypto.
We're backed by some of the best in crypto/SV but we're still working off of our pre-seed so you're getting in on the ground floor. Come work with some of the smartest in crypto and do it on your terms. We're distributed all over the world (with heavy presence in the US and Netherlands).
The Sherlock team is extremely passionate about bringing DeFi (Decentralized Finance) to the masses. One of the biggest hurdles is the security of smart contracts. Sherlock provides coverage to end users by protecting protocol funds directly and utilizes a team of decentralized smart contract researchers to price the coverage and secure the protocols.
If this sounds interesting to you, let's have a convo! We're funded by some of the top crypto VCs (announcement coming soon) and hiring anyone who is smart, driven and passionate about crypto/DeFi.
What a useless article. No real conclusion and no new information.
Raising the minimum wage CAN have negative effects. This is obvious. If you raise the minimum wage to $10,000 per hour, what happens? Hamburgers cost $1,000 each and nobody buys them. Restaurants become insolvent and they close. Bad outcome.
I believe no minimum wage CAN also have negative effects but those effects are less clear to me. Maybe workers get taken advantage of by companies? But is a minimum wage the best way to fix this? Would love to hear other thoughts on what specifically a minimum wage fixes compared to having no minimum wage.
There are massive flaws in the logic of this piece. In order for JP's metaphors to be accurate, the following would need to be true:
1) CELL PHONES CAUSE HURRICANES.
2) HOSTILE ALIENS ENSLAVE US EVERY YEAR.
First, let's not get hung up on Bitcoin alone. Bitcoin is designed for a specific use case (store of value) while other cryptocurrencies have different use cases (means of transaction, etc.). Bitcoin is also version 1 of a new category. So maybe Bitcoin will end up being like Netscape and will pass the baton to other cryptocurrencies which go on to be successful.
I will use JP's hurricane metaphor against him. He basically compares "mainstream" telecommunications (cell phones, 911 call centers) to fiat currency. He says mainstream telco is preferable to ham radios just like fiat currency is preferable to cryptocurrency. Fine. Here's where the metaphor breaks down:
Mainstream telco doesn't CAUSE hurricanes.
Fiat currency CAUSES (leads to) hyperinflation crises. If mainstream telco usage CAUSED hurricanes, I guarantee alternative communication methods would be given more attention.
JP also claims a breakdown in the fiat system would be similar in magnitude and probability to a situation where "hostile aliens have enslaved us." Wrong again.
Just because you are lucky to live in a place where hurricanes haven't affected you (erm...Canada) doesn't mean hurricanes aren't a problem. Also, these "hurricanes" don't just hit the coast. Argentina had a population of around 30 million people when hyperinflation was raging in 1990, impoverishing millions in a matter of months.
In order for JP's model to be accurate, modern telecommunication equipment would cause hurricanes and hostile aliens would enslave us roughly every year (34 times in the last 30 years).
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fix a little bug in fiat currencies where every so often ALL THE PEOPLE USING THAT CURRENCY ARE SWIFTLY IMPOVERISHED. I think it's worth keeping an eye on crypto.
