Rust Systems Engineer

Architect and develop the core infrastructure for a next-generation blockchain platform that's processing over $1B in daily transactions, where system performance and security are absolutely critical. You'll build high-performance consensus algorithms, implement cryptographic protocols, and develop distributed systems that maintain consistency across thousands of nodes worldwide. The project involves optimizing memory usage and CPU performance for maximum throughput while ensuring bulletproof security and fault tolerance. You'll work with cutting-edge Rust features including async/await, zero-cost abstractions, and unsafe code optimization while collaborating with cryptography experts and distributed systems researchers. This role offers the opportunity to work on fundamental infrastructure that powers decentralized finance applications, with your code directly handling billions of dollars in value. You'll be part of a small, elite team of systems engineers working on problems at the intersection of computer science, cryptography, and economics, with significant influence on architectural decisions and technical direction.
