- Optimize concurrency, scheduling, memory layout, and I/O paths for determinism and throughput.
What We Look For:
- Strong experience with Rust, C++, Go, or other systems programming languages.
- Understanding of high-performance or distributed systems, with a focus on execution flows and concurrency models.
- Practical experience profiling CPU, memory, and synchronization overhead in runtime-constrained environments.
Why Join Us:
- Build the execution backbone of a Layer 1 blockchain and next-generation DEX engine.
- Work on systems where your optimizations translate directly into global performance gains.
