Web3 C++ Polkadot Jobs

We are seeking a core protocol engineer to help implement the Subspace Network, a radically decentralized, next-generation blockchain written in Rust, using the Substrate framework. Subspace employs a novel proof-of-storage consensus algorithm and a decoupled execution framework, which allows it to scale far beyond existing blockchains, without sacrificing security or decentralization. Subspace Labs is an early-stage, venture-backed startup with a globally distributed team. To learn more visit our website and read the technical whitepaper.

Your Responsibilities

• Become a leading contributor and core maintainer of the Subspace Network
• Implement a series of novel consensus, execution, and scalability proposals
• Maintain the highest standards of distributed open-source software development including modular design, comprehensive testing, proper documentation, and responsive support.  

Basic Requirements

• Experience with current blockchain technologies and landscape
• Theoretical background in distributed systems, such as consensus algorithms, as well as cryptographic fundamentals
• Strong knowledge of a modern systems programming language, such as Rust, C++, or Go and willing to learn Rust.
• Experience working with large open-source codebases

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with the Rust language and its ecosystem
• Familiarity with Substrate and the Polkadot ecosystem
• Experience implementing blockchain consensus protocols
• A passion for decentralized, peer-to-peer systems and Web3 technologies

Benefits

• A remote work environment with a high degree of autonomy and agency
• You will play a critical role in implementing a new layer one blockchain
• Salary and options befitting an early hire at a venture-backed startup
