Requirements
- Rust systems programming
- Distributed systems, including consensus, replication, networking, and asynchronous primitives
- Production infrastructure or protocol software
- Asynchronous concurrency
- Performance optimization
- Network protocols
- Peer-to-peer systems
- Decentralized-systems design tradeoffs
- Correctness, testing, and reliability
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize core protocol components
- Build high-performance, fault-tolerant distributed systems in Rust
- Improve system throughput, reliability, and latency at scale
- Partner with research and product teams to iterate protocol designs
- Debug and resolve complex distributed-systems challenges in live environments
- Contribute to engineering standards for testing, benchmarks, and safe releases
