    Job description

    We’re looking for a Senior Rust Engineer who’s ready to play a pivotal role in shaping next-generation blockchain infrastructure. In this position, you’ll be directly involved in designing, building, and scaling core systems that power decentralized technologies. This is a hands-on engineering role with strong emphasis on ownership, technical depth, and mentorship.

    You’ll collaborate with a world-class engineering team, influence architectural choices, and help evolve our product’s technical direction — while continuing to write robust, high-performance Rust code daily.

    What You’ll Do

    • Develop, optimize, and maintain production-grade Rust codebases.

    • Own feature lifecycles end-to-end — from technical design to deployment and ongoing maintenance.

    • Participate in system architecture discussions and contribute to key technical decisions.

    • Proactively identify performance bottlenecks and scalability challenges in blockchain systems.

    • Review peers’ code and ensure adherence to best practices in reliability and maintainability.

    • Mentor and support junior engineers to foster a strong culture of quality and collaboration.

    • Contribute to continuous improvement of CI/CD pipelines, build tools, and testing frameworks.

    • Take part in agile rituals — sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives.

    • Occasionally participate in on-call duties to ensure system uptime and reliability.

    What You’ll Bring

    • Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.

    • 5+ years of professional software development experience, with proven expertise in Rust.

    • In-depth understanding of Rust’s build ecosystem — Cargo, testing frameworks, and CI/CD workflows.

    • Experience working with blockchain infrastructure, particularly Ethereum or other decentralized networks.

    • Ability to navigate and refactor large-scale, complex codebases.

    • Strong grasp of Git and GitHub collaboration workflows.

    • Demonstrated experience writing thorough unit and integration tests.

    • A proactive, analytical mindset with excellent problem-solving skills.

    • Clear and confident communication skills in English.

    Bonus Points

    Prior experience in cryptography, security engineering, or zero-knowledge proofs.

    Knowledge of compilers, virtual machines, or low-level system internals.

    Contributions to geth, reth, or similar open-source blockchain projects.

    Experience leading teams or mentoring developers.

    Perks & Benefits

    • Competitive salary aligned with experience and performance.

    • Remote-first setup — work from anywhere, anytime.

    • Flexible working hours to support work-life balance.

    • Paid vacation, maternity/paternity leave, and wellness benefits.

    • Equity and long-term incentive plans.

    • Fitness or wellness allowance.

    • Exclusive access to cutting-edge crypto tools and early-stage product launches.

    • Quarterly team retreats in exciting global destinations.
