This role focuses on building and securing peer-to-peer networking layers for a blockchain-based system. The Blockchain Engineer will design resilient P2P components using gossip protocols, distributed hash tables, and NAT traversal techniques.

The position owns network performance, reliability, and security, with responsibilities spanning monitoring, debugging, and latency optimization. The role works closely with DevOps teams to deploy and scale containerized infrastructure and contributes to the design of a decentralized network stack that accounts for blockchain-specific performance and consensus needs.

There is optional collaboration with data scientists to apply machine learning techniques for network optimization, anomaly detection, or adaptive routing.

🔹 Responsibilities

Design and implement scalable P2P networking layers using gossip protocols, DHTs, and NAT traversal
Apply network security best practices to mitigate common P2P vulnerabilities
Develop monitoring, debugging, and tuning tools to improve network performance and latency
Collaborate with DevOps teams to deploy and scale containerized infrastructure
Contribute to the architecture of a decentralized network stack with blockchain performance and consensus considerations
Optionally collaborate with data science teams to integrate machine learning for network optimization and anomaly detection

🔹 Requirements

Strong understanding of P2P networking principles, DHTs, and related protocols
Experience implementing defenses against networking attacks such as Eclipse, Sybil, or DoS attacks
Hands-on experience with monitoring, packet inspection, and performance tuning in distributed systems
Experience with deployment and orchestration tools including Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible
Proficiency in one or more systems programming languages such as Rust, Go, or C++
Familiarity with blockchain networking architectures and consensus mechanisms
Bonus experience applying machine learning to networking or protocol optimization
