About Wynd Network
Grass is a decentralized network for accessing the public web, allowing users to sell their unused network resources to companies and AI labs. It functions as a residential proxy network where users can earn points by running the Grass software, which will be converted to a network stake. The network is designed to provide web data for training AI models, with a focus on privacy and security for its users. The infrastructure consists of the Grass app and the Sovereign Data Rollup, which includes a network of nodes, routers, validators, a ZK processor, and a Data ledger to facilitate the sourcing and transformation of unstructured web data into structured datasets.
Skills
About the Role
You will own the lifecycle of a custom Chromium-based browser: design and implement browser changes, manage upstream Chromium releases and rebases, analyze crash dumps and triage field issues to resolution, build CI/CD and automated QA for compiling testing and deploying a large C++ codebase, and optimize C/C++ engine code for performance and resource efficiency. You will also manage complex Git workflows, create test suites to prevent regressions, and improve build systems and compiler optimization practices.
