Enhance gaming for millions of users worldwide
Job Description:
We are seeking a Senior Rust Blockchain Developer with a focus on low-level node development to spearhead the architecture and implementation of our gaming-centric blockchain platform. In this pivotal role, you will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and designers to engineer solutions that deliver sub-second confirmation times and enhance the gaming experience for millions of users worldwide.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the development efforts for low-level node software using Rust, ensuring robustness, efficiency, and sub-second finality for gaming transactions.
- Implement and optimize blockchain protocols, consensus mechanisms, virtual machines, and cryptographic algorithms.
- Dive deep into distributed systems programming, addressing complex challenges related to network scalability, consensus mechanisms, and real-time transaction processing.
- Conduct code reviews, performance analysis, and optimization to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the blockchain network.
- Optimize blockchain protocols and algorithms to achieve optimal performance and scalability, with a focus on meeting the stringent requirements of high-paced gaming environments.
- Conduct comprehensive testing, profiling, and performance analysis to identify bottlenecks and optimize system performance for gaming workloads.
- Stay on top of the latest developments in blockchain technology, gaming trends, and distributed systems research to drive continuous improvement and innovation.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Extensive experience (5+ years) in Rust programming language, with a strong emphasis on low-level systems development.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems principles and protocols (e.g., peer-to-peer networks, consensus algorithms, cryptography).
- Experience in developing and optimizing blockchain protocols is highly desirable.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex issues in distributed systems.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Contributions to open-source blockchain projects or relevant GitHub repositories.
- Prior experience developing blockchain protocols and optimizing performance for sub-second finality, preferably within the gaming or real-time application domain.
An academic degree in the relevant field is good to have

years of commercial experienceRapid advances in game engine, generative AI, blockchain, cloud, 5G, VR/AR and haptic technologies are converging to make the future metaverse possible today. Hundreds of millions of people are already playing and creating in immersive virtual world environments like Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft. Mass consumer and enterprise adoption is inevitable as unbelievable experiences are built by an open ecosystem of creative talent who will unlock the true power of the metaverse. Increasing complexity and scale in metaverse applications with full physics interactions and collisions requires more compute capacity. The simulation "compute budget" is a function of size, persistence, and fidelity of a game, as well as the number of concurrent users, complex AI beings, and interactive objects. The distributed compute infrastructure required to support metaverse-scale gaming has remained a really hard problem to solve. Games engines have a limit of <100 concurrent players in a single shard even for simple games. Spatial partitioning platforms have a fixed mathematical limit of 1-15k concurrent users and are costly and difficult to use. Games developers have had to design around the limitations of available infrastructure. The more rich a metaverse world becomes, the fewer people can interact. Until now...
