About DoubleZero
DoubleZero is a global fiber network for high performance distributed systems and blockchains, bringing high-performance networking and hardware acceleration to crypto. It's not a new L1 or L2, it's the world's first N1. Base layer network infrastructure for distributed systems. DoubleZero is creating the first dedicated physical infrastructure layer for blockchain communication, addressing the fundamental bottleneck that software alone cannot solve. By combining fiber links run by independent contributors with edge filtering hardware in a permissionless network, DoubleZero enables blockchain systems to achieve dramatically higher performance without sacrificing decentralization while maintaining crypto-economic security guarantees. DoubleZero is a permissionless network. Anyone can contribute unused bandwidth, turning isolated links into a unified global fabric. The network grows stronger with each new contributor, mirroring the systems it serves—distributed, resilient, and participant-owned. When decentralized apps run on decentralized infrastructure, DoubleZero can deliver performance without compromising principles.
Skills
About the Role
You will build and operate complex, high-performance systems under demanding constraints. You will focus on performance, correctness, and architecture, work across software, systems, networks, and hardware, and solve problems that lack documentation. You will own critical systems and ensure they meet strict reliability and latency requirements.
Requirements
- Experience building or operating complex systems in demanding environments
- Proven track record shipping infrastructure other engineers depend on
- Experience solving problems that lack documentation
- Experience owning systems where failure is not an option
- Deep understanding of performance and system architecture
- Comfort working across software systems networks and hardware
Responsibilities
- Build and operate complex systems
- Design for performance, correctness, and architecture
- Work across software, systems, networks, and hardware
- Solve ambiguous problems without existing documentation
- Own critical systems and ensure high reliability and low latency
