Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Responsibilities:
  • Build features in the node/client: execution/runtime, mempool, sync, and networking.
  • Implement identity centric primitives (credential issuance/verification hooks, precompiles/syscalls as needed).
  • Optimize state I/O, snapshots, pruning, and fast/warp sync; improve RPC throughput and p95 latency.
  • Integrate zero knowledge proof verification in protocol (e.g., verifier circuits, precompiles).
  • Support zkTLS proof ingestion and verification for web origin attestations.
  • Contribute to the chain agnostic identity oracle: message formats, replay/order protection, finality handling.
  • Build/maintain light client/optimistic verification paths or integrate with ecosystem standards (e.g., IBC/ICS, L1 L2 messengers) as appropriate.
  • Design robust relayer and operator tooling with clear incentives and observability.
  • Engineer decentralized data storage integration for reusable, privacy preserved credentials.
  • Tune RocksDB/LevelDB (or equivalent) and state commitment schemes for high throughput identity verification.
  • Stand up and operate public/private testnets; plan releases and canary rollouts.
  • Add metrics/logs/traces; build dashboards and alerts; respond to incidents and write clear postmortems.
  • Expand test coverage: unit/integration, fuzzing, and differential tests across client versions.

Desired Candidate Profile

Requirements:
  • Strong systems engineering in Go or Rust (or similar); solid concurrency/async, profiling, and performance tuning skills.
  • Experience building backend or protocol adjacent infrastructure that runs in production.
  • Practical familiarity with blockchain client internals (any of: EVM/WASM runtime, Cosmos SDK/Substrate modules, or rollup nodes).
  • Comfortable with Web3 interfaces and ops: RPCs (JSON RPC/gRPC), node configuration, validator/sequencer operations, snapshots/state sync.
  • Sound engineering practices: testing, code reviews, CI/CD, reproducible builds, and clear documentation.
  • Security mindset: input validation, DoS/eclipse awareness, rate limiting, key management basics.
Nice-to-haves:
  • Zero knowledge integration experience (using/verifying proofs, e.g., PLONK/Groth16/FRI) or prior work on verifier precompiles.
  • Exposure to identity/credentials standards (VCs/VPs), replay protection, nonce/sequence management, and capability/permissions models.
  • Cross chain experience: light clients, optimistic/validity bridges, IBC/XCM, or L1 L2 messaging.
  • Database/storage tuning in high throughput chains; experience with state growth and archive modes.
  • Contributions to open source blockchain clients or identity/zk tooling.
