We’re a diverse team of experienced researchers and engineers scattered around the world working at the intersection of P2P networks and bleeding-edge Zero Knowledge technology. We’re building the next generation storage engine that attempts to “untie the knot” of incentivized storage. Our goal is to deliver a more advanced decentralized storage protocol that pushes the state of the art of decentralized storage solutions forward. We’re looking for an experienced p2p networking engineer with hands-on experience designing and implementing state of the art networking protocols and distributed systems.
You ideally will have
- Very strong academic or engineering background (PhD-level or equivalent in industry); relevant research experience
- Experience with low level/strongly typed languages (C/C++/Go/Rust or Java/C#)
- Experience with Open Source software
- Deep understanding of Zero-Knowledge proof systems and corresponding tooling
- Keen communicator, eager to share your work in a wide variety of contexts, like internal and public presentations, blog posts and academic papers.
- Experience in, and passion for, blockchain technology
- A strong alignment to our principles: https://status.im/about/#our-principles
Bonus points
- Experience and interest in decentralized storage and p2p technologies
- Experience designing and implementing zk-friendly hashing functions
- Experience with WebAssembly tooling
