Role	Required	Description
Blockchain Developer		Studies Vyper syntax and its security-by-design philosophy. Writes simple contracts: ERC-20, storage operations. Understands differences from Solidity: no inheritance, bounded loops.
Smart Contract Developer		Studies Vyper syntax and its security-by-design philosophy: no inheritance, bounded loops, explicit overflow checks. Writes simple contracts and compares with Solidity equivalents.

Role	Required	Description
Blockchain Developer		Develops production contracts in Vyper: DeFi pools, governance mechanics. Uses Titanoboa for testing. Understands Vyper compiler internals and security considerations.
Smart Contract Developer		Develops production contracts in Vyper: DeFi pools, governance modules. Uses Titanoboa for comprehensive testing. Understands Vyper compiler security considerations.

Role	Required	Description
Blockchain Developer		Designs complex Vyper systems: Curve-style AMM, stableswap. Analyzes Vyper compiler bugs and their impact on deployed contracts. Conducts comparative audit Solidity vs Vyper.
Smart Contract Developer		Designs complex Vyper systems: Curve-style stableswap pools, concentrated liquidity. Analyzes Vyper compiler bugs and their impact. Conducts comparative security analysis of Vyper vs Solidity.

Role	Required	Description
Blockchain Developer		Defines when to use Vyper vs Solidity for the organization. Establishes Vyper development guidelines and training program. Coordinates Vyper adoption for security-critical contracts.
Smart Contract Developer		Defines Vyper adoption strategy for the organization: when Vyper vs Solidity. Establishes Vyper development guidelines and training program for smart contract developers.

Role	Required	Description
Blockchain Developer		Researches Vyper compiler evolution and security improvements. Contributes to Vyper ecosystem and participates in language design discussions. Publishes comparative analysis and best practices.
Smart Contract Developer		Researches Vyper compiler evolution and language design. Contributes to Vyper ecosystem development. Publishes comparative security analysis and best practices for Vyper development.
