Charon is a GoLang-based middleware that sits within a Validator stack and enables active/active fault tolerance for Ethereum staking. 

The goal of this role is to improve the performance and reliability of the Charon client, while adding new features such as mutable clusters, asynchronous consensus protocols, and faster networking. 

Responsibilities

• Implement a PVSS distributed validator key generation scheme into Charon. 
• Develop asynchronous consensus protocols for use within Charon.
• Develop byzantine fault tolerant protocol upgrade mechanisms for DV clusters.
• Develop and compare different networking protocols and their impact on DV performance (from TCP to UDP to QUIC)
• Integrate directly with MEV relays to reduce latency in block production.
• Improve charon’s reliability through systematic testing including unit, disturbance, chaos, fuzz, integration and other methodologies.
• Improve the software engineering culture at Obol by being a leader in GoLang development best practices. 

Requirements

• +3 years of experience working in GoLang.
• Experience developing distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of Internet networking.
• Experience working in a distributed remote team.
