Senior Distributed Systems Engineer

You will design, implement, and maintain consensus protocols and distributed system architectures. You will analyze and improve system performance, latency, and throughput, debug complex multi-node issues, implement Byzantine fault-tolerant solutions, build monitoring and observability, and produce technical documentation. You will also conduct performance profiling and mentor colleagues on distributed systems practices.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement consensus protocols
• Develop and optimize distributed system architectures for scalability reliability and fault tolerance
• Analyze and improve system performance latency and throughput
• Debug complex distributed system issues across multiple nodes and networks
• Create and maintain technical documentation for distributed systems and protocols
• Implement Byzantine fault-tolerant solutions in collaboration with team members
• Conduct performance analysis profiling and optimization
• Implement and maintain monitoring and observability solutions
• Mentor team members in distributed systems concepts

Requirements

• Proven track record in distributed system or consensus engineering (Master/PhD or 3+ years industry experience)
• Strong background in consensus algorithms such as Paxos Raft and PBFT
• Expertise in concurrent and parallel programming
• Proficiency in systems programming languages Go Rust or C++
• Deep understanding of distributed computing concepts including CAP theorem and consistency models
• Experience with network programming and distributed system testing
• Strong knowledge of performance optimization and bottleneck analysis
• Experience implementing Byzantine fault-tolerant systems (preferred)
• Knowledge of modern consensus protocols such as HotStuff Tendermint Narwhal and Bullshark (preferred)
• Familiarity with formal verification methods for distributed systems (preferred)
• Experience with large-scale distributed databases and peer-to-peer networking protocols (preferred)
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS GCP or Azure (preferred)

Benefits

• Equity participation
