Rust Engineer

About the Role

We are entering an exciting phase of growth and are expanding our Engineering team to take on new challenges and opportunities. As our Rust Engineer, you will work closely with other Engineers, Product Manager, Product Designers, and cross-functional teams to build, optimize, and secure our decentralized node network and its core services.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop Rust-based core components for the node, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.
• Implement robust cryptographic protocols, including multi-party threshold approvals and digital signature aggregations, to enhance the security of the system.
• Develop and integrate consensus-driven execution logic, smart contract interactions, and granular policy management to enforce system policies effectively.
• Build and maintain APIs that seamlessly connect on-chain state machines with secure off-chain operations, enabling smooth integration and interoperability.
• Collaborate with blockchain engineers, product teams, and security experts to translate technical requirements into scalable, production-ready solutions.
• Write production-grade code with comprehensive testing and actively participate in code reviews to maintain a high standard of quality and reliability.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of professional experience in Rust systems programming, with a solid background in building secure, high-performance applications and delivering production-grade code.
• Deep understanding of decentralized systems and blockchain fundamentals, including consensus protocols, distributed ledger architecture, and cryptographic techniques.
• Proficiency in asynchronous programming and concurrent system design, with experience optimizing performance in low-level system development environments.
• Strong expertise in secure and scalable system design, ensuring robustness against vulnerabilities and efficient resource utilization.

Would Be Awesome If You Have:

• Hands-on experience with Web3 or blockchain-related projects.
• Knowledge of identity-related technical concepts, such as OAuth, OpenID, Decentralized Identity (DID), or Verifiable Credentials (VCs).
• Experience with cryptography and secure enclave programming, particularly in the context of building secure, high-performance systems.
• Familiarity with smart contract and node software development, secure multiparty computation, decentralized identity solutions, DeFi projects, or blockchain applications is highly valued.
• Prior experience working remotely effectively.

What We Offer:

• Ownership & Rewards: Competitive salary, performance bonus, and participation in employee incentive plans.
• Time to Recharge: A generous paid time off policy to help you rest and recharge.
• Health & Wellness: Health insurance, annual wellness stipend, and support to keep you feeling great.
• Keep Growing: Learning and development stipend to sharpen your skills.
• Team Fun: Social perks and epic team offsites (Vietnam in 2024 was a blast—where’s next?).
• Set for Success: Latest Mac or PC to supercharge yourself.
