💣 Who You Are

You’re not fresh out of bootcamp — but you’re not yet Dev 0. You’re Dev 1. You’ve tasted complexity, written code that survives chaos, and you’re ready to sync your brain with Damage Protocol and run node ops like a damn pro.

You don’t need micro-managing. You need:

A problem worth solving

A system worth optimizing

A stack worth mastering

---

🛠️ What You’ll Be Doing

Run and manage DamageBDD nodes across real-time dev/test networks

Operate and automate test verification pipelines for smart contract + API integrations

Build and maintain tooling for concurrent test orchestration

Collaborate with Dev 0 (aka the original warlord) to scale Damage infrastructure

Participate in the tokenized BDD economy where test results are hard currency

---

🧠 What You Should Understand (or Be Ready to Learn Fast)

Domain Expectation

Erlang or Elixir You’ve touched BEAM or are willing to embrace the Actor model. No excuses.

Python Automation Saltstack, scripting, testing – you know Python isn’t just for pandas.

Linux-Fu If you’ve never tailed a log in tmux, this ain’t your dojo.

DevOps You can dockerize, systemd, or script your way out of hell.

Git Discipline Commit messages matter. Rebasing isn’t optional.

Security Mindset You treat unverified inputs like radioactive waste.

Distributed Systems You’re not afraid of CAP theorem or weird network states.

---

🧬 Bonus Points If You’ve…

Built or run anything in Bitcoin / Lightning / Web3

Used Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) frameworks

Written tests that actually make people go “damn, that’s clean”

Survived a product pivot and lived to refactor the stack

Meditated with Emacs open

---

🤝 What You Get

Mentorship from Dev 0: direct line to the architect of DamageBDD

Access to DamageToken payouts for validated test work

Pathway to full node ownership, protocol-level influence, and becoming Dev 2+

The kind of autonomy most jobs pretend to offer

---

⚠️ What You Won’t Get

HR meetings

Fake agile

Jira nonsense

Vague deliverables

Boring
