Distributed Systems Engineer
We are seeking a Distributed Systems Engineer to join our team and help build the core infrastructure of a cutting-edge AI and blockchain project. This role is ideal for someone with expertise in distributed computing, peer-to-peer networking, and blockchain scalability. You will play a key role in architecting and optimizing decentralized computing solutions that power AI inferencing and blockchain-based workloads.
Key Responsibilities:
Distributed Systems Architecture: Design, build, and optimize large-scale distributed computing systems for AI and blockchain applications.
Peer-to-Peer Networking: Develop and maintain peer-to-peer (P2P) communication protocols to enhance network scalability and reliability.
Blockchain & Smart Contracts Integration: Collaborate with blockchain developers to ensure seamless integration of decentralized computing with blockchain-based consensus mechanisms.
Optimizing Compute Resource Allocation: Implement efficient algorithms for task scheduling, job orchestration, and resource distribution across decentralized networks.
Security & Fault Tolerance: Develop security mechanisms to protect against sybil attacks, DDoS, and other threats in distributed environments.
Performance Tuning: Optimize networking, storage, and compute performance to reduce latency and enhance throughput.
Decentralized Storage Solutions: Work with technologies like IPFS, Filecoin, and other off-chain storage protocols to manage data distribution and access.
Collaboration & Documentation: Work closely with other engineers, document best practices, and contribute to open-source development where applicable.
Work Environment:
Fully remote with flexible working hours.
Collaboration via GitHub, Discord, and other Web3-native communication tools.
Agile development with a focus on iterative improvements and community-driven feedback.
Compensation:
Performance-based compensation with potential bonuses tied to network performance improvements and adoption.
As the project gains traction, there may be opportunities for additional compensation and full-time roles.
Qualifications:
Strong background in distributed systems, cloud computing, and peer-to-peer networking.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Go, Rust, or Python.
Experience with blockchain protocols, decentralized computing frameworks, or AI infrastructure.
Deep understanding of consensus mechanisms, cryptographic principles, and data replication techniques.
Ability to optimize performance in low-latency, high-throughput environments.
Familiarity with distributed databases, container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), and decentralized identity management is a plus.
Previous contributions to open-source distributed computing or blockchain projects are highly desirable.
Application Requirements:
Portfolio/GitHub: Provide examples of previous work related to distributed computing, blockchain scalability, or P2P networking.
Technical Experience: Highlight your experience with designing and implementing distributed architectures, networking protocols, and compute optimization techniques.
As this is an early-stage project, we are looking for someone excited about the intersection of AI, blockchain, and decentralized computing. Compensation will grow as the project gains traction, offering an opportunity for both personal and professional development.
