Trilitech’s Core Tezos X team develops next-generation Layer 2 solutions for the Tezos blockchain, focusing on scalable computation and verifiable execution. The team works at the intersection of deterministic computation and high-performance systems to build a proof-generating virtual machine capable of running RISC-V Linux programs while preserving verifiability and defined execution semantics.

The Rust Software Engineer role contributes to core systems engineering efforts, including performance optimization, proof and commitment schemes, and developer tooling such as SDKs. This position involves tackling complex systems problems, influencing architectural decisions, and collaborating closely with other engineers to advance Tezos Layer 2 infrastructure and related tooling.

Contribute to the design and implementation of core Layer 2 systems and proof-generating virtual machine components
Work on performance engineering, systems programming, and optimization of computation pipelines
Participate in the design of commitment and proof schemes used for verifiable execution
Build and maintain SDKs and tooling for internal and external developers
Break down complex engineering problems into well-defined, implementable components
Communicate technical designs and decisions clearly through written and verbal discussions

🔹 Requirements

Strong hands-on experience in software engineering
Proficiency with modern, idiomatic Rust
Solid computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, and concurrency
Ability to reason about large-scale engineering problems and structure solutions effectively
Clear communication skills in technical discussions, documentation, and design reviews

Bonus (if applicable):

Familiarity with instruction sets in different computing contexts
Experience with language runtimes, compilers, or interpreters
Background in systems programming, embedded systems, or performance-critical software
