Software Engineer (Formal Methods)

• Extend the scope and depth of our automated program verification tools and brainstorm, design, and implement new tools

• Adapt and improve algorithms for symbolic software model checking. Examples include bounded model checking (BMC), counterexample-guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR), and property directed reachability (IC3/PDR)

• Build and extend translators from different input languages into intermediate representations, optimizing the generated models for automated analysis

• Identify new classes of security properties of smart contracts and formalize properties for use in our automated verification tools

• Closely collaborate with other software engineers in developing tools and set technical direction for solving problems in consultation with your team and management

• Work on all aspects of delivering working software that meets customer needs, including analysis, design, automated testing, operations, CI/CD, measuring results, incorporating customer feedback, and support
