We pioneer advanced solutions to meet the evolving demands of decentralized applications.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a critical role in fortifying Anza's Agave client and the broader Solana network.

  • Gather and analyze metrics to identify performance bottlenecks.
  • Work with subject matter experts to understand code component performance requirements and goals, both present and future.
  • Design, implement, and benchmark solutions to improve performance and reliability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to architect solutions that prioritize reliability, scalability, security, and optimal performance of the Solana network.
  • Contribute to the entire software development lifecycle, from concept and design to deployment, ensuring smooth transitions between development, staging, and production environments.
  • Craft detailed documentation and architecture designs to foster consistent standards and knowledge sharing across teams.

What You'll Bring

  • Experience: A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience and 3+ years of hands-on experience with core infrastructure software and distributed systems.
  • Technical Expertise: Strong proficiency in systems programming languages such as Rust or C++. Experience with consensus algorithms, distributed systems, and blockchain technology is highly desirable.
  • Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to analyze complex systems, identify potential issues, and develop effective, flexible solutions.
  • Security Mindset: Knowledge of common security threats and best practices in securing consensus processes.
  • Growth Mindset: Actively consuming research papers, designing, and investigating new solutions.
  • Performance Optimization: Experience with performance profiling and optimization techniques.
  • Collaboration and Communication: Excellent teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with Linux, systems automation tools, and systems architecture.
  • Understanding of networking, architecture, and principles underlying distributed systems.
  • A knack for designing secure protocols, software, and algorithms that minimize trust requirements.
  • Self-driven, research oriented, and the ability to learn independently.
  • Active participation in Bitcoin/Ethereum/Blockchain projects or the open-source community is highly desirable.
