- You have an open source project you’re working on, or contributing to one
- You are proactive and have read the Polybase whitepaper
Bonus
- Experience with compilers
- Experience building (not using) distributed systems
- Mathematical or cryptography background
- Understanding of low level computer science primitives (vm, heap, stack, memory allocation, etc)
- Experience optimising performance
The role
We're rebuilding the database from the ground up. Things you could be working on:
- Compiling from our native language Polylang to Miden VM (a zk vm language)
- Consensus protocol (we have our own implementation)
- Merkle Tree rollup
- Indexers (we use rocks-db under the hood)
- P2P communication using libp2p
- Optimizing performance of archictecture
Location
Remote (worldwide, any timezone). Europe and US East Coast timezones preferred.
