What you'll do:

📍Maintain and implement low-level functionality at the EVM bytecode level in Rust 📍Work on an open-source project while helping triage Github issues and supporting users 📍Tackle large, complex, and ambiguous projects, starting from a set of high-level product requirements 📍Identify and/or clarify requirements and analyze tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, user value, and non-functional requirements 📍Deep dive into user pain points, concerns, and requests 📍Independently solve tasks that range from complex design/architecture issues and complex previously unknown blockers to churning through coding tasks and bugs at a high pace 📍Uncover unknowns or gaps and prototype solutions for major risks 📍Act as a force multiplier for the team 📍Contribute to project management and roadmap planning. You’ll outline risks and dependencies and break down scopes and roadmap items into tangible milestones while optimizing for fast delivery 📍Keep timely communication with management stakeholders, other engineering teams, and other functions 📍Coach other engineers on technical topics

Who we're looking for:

📍At least 5 years of experience working on systems software 📍5+ years of experience with C++ OR 2+ years of working with Rust 📍You have a product-oriented mindset. You focus on future usage of what you’re building, always considering its impact, and make trade-offs accordingly 📍Prior experience working in a remote and globally distributed environment. We work mostly asynchronously, so the ability to take ownership strongly and work with minimal direction is crucial 📍Experienced in cross-team collaboration 📍As this is an early-stage project, we are seeking a teammate who is comfortable adapting to changing requirements 📍Knowledge of Ethereum is a plus, especially low-level concepts, but it’s not required
