The Senior Rust Engineer will design and build blockchain software, focusing on architecture, optimizations, and protocol features while improving P2P systems.
Fuel is seeking a full-time Senior Protocol Engineer who will work at the bleeding edge of blockchain scalability R&D, designing and building robust blockchain full-node software powered by a next-generation virtual machine.
For this position, we need someone who is equally a thought leader as they are a senior technical professional. Someone who is opinionated, and isn't afraid to give feedback on our existing blockchain architecture and use their extraordinary talent to present new ideas.
You’ll get to:
- Build brand new blockchain architecture from scratch that isn't pieced together from other blockchains
- Solve legacy issues/problems existing in other blockchain projects
- Enabling extremely high throughput and parallelism
- Continue upgrading and improving the protocol over time, even after the mainnet launch
Areas of Responsibility
- Working on low-level improvements and optimisations of the Fuel VM
- Building new protocol features based on specifications changes including but not limited to bridging, fraud proofing, multidimensional pricing, and improving gas efficiency/economic modelling to increase throughput further
- Building secure and resilient distributed P2P systems
- Maintaining Fuel after the mainnet launch
Required Experience
- Solid track record of experience as a software engineer
- Strong proficiency in Rust (open-source contributions preferred)
- Deep understanding of virtual machines and/or blockchain node software
- Experience developing or designing P2P distributed systems
