Proposer

Silo Chad

Summary

Hire Cujo part-time as a Middleware Engineer.

Background

Cujo is a data analyst and software engineer, and has contributed to other protocol DAOs in the past.

Past Contributions to Beanstalk

Cujo began contributing to Beanstalk after the exploit and has been working part-time on various engineering projects since then. Contributions to Beanstalk include:

• Creating and testing the Fertilizer bid processing subgraph for a version of the Barn Raise that did not ultimately come to fruition.
• Worked with the engineering team to update the main Beanstalk subgraph and incorporate changes post-Replant.
  • Set up a new schema definition with time series snapshots available for both the Field and Silo; and
  • Incorporated UI needs for analytics and overall RPC use reduction by enabling the subgraph to be the primary data source for the Pod Market.
• Set up private testnet infrastructure for testing and subgraph development.
• Contributed to smart contract testing and UI verification leading up to Replant.

Role

Post-Unpause, Cujo has continued to work on the Beanstalk subgraph. Expected work includes:

• Continuing to develop and maintain the subgraph for new BIPs as they are proposed.
• Supporting the frontend team with subgraph work around for analytics and other frontend functionality.
• Contributing to code review for subgraph PRs and BIPs as needed.

Payment

9,000 Beans/month, paid twice per month, starting from the Unpause (conditional on Beanstalk Farms being funded by the DAO via future BIPs).

Commitment

Part-time (~20 hr/wk).
