Description

  • Design and implement the core architecture for a real-time distributed platform.
  • Own systems from initial concept and design through implementation and production deployment.
  • Translate ambiguous, high-level goals into concrete and scalable technical solutions.
  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, latency constraints, and complex system failures.
  • Drive technical direction across components and services while establishing engineering best practices and code quality standards.
  • Collaborate with product and business stakeholders to ensure technical decisions support the intended economic outcomes.

Requirements

  • Advanced proficiency in Rust and strong systems programming experience.
  • Extensive experience building or operating distributed systems with real-world latency, scale, and fault-tolerance constraints.
  • Proven ability to design complex systems from scratch with strong judgment around performance, complexity, and reliability tradeoffs.
  • Track record of taking end-to-end ownership of products or systems in ambiguous environments with minimal structure.
  • Experience leveraging AI tools and agent-based workflows to accelerate the development lifecycle.
  • Background in systems where correctness and low latency are mission-critical (preferred).
  • Experience with blockchain consensus internals, validator client architecture, or low-level protocol development (preferred).
  • Familiarity with virtual machines or low-level execution environments (preferred).

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary of $180K - $300K, commensurate with experience.
  • Significant equity stake as an early member of the engineering team.
  • Remote-friendly role with flexible work location, with a preference for North America.
  • Opportunity to shape foundational engineering culture and build systems that mediate real economic flows.
