Protocol Engineer Native Libraries

Waku is part of the Logos tech stack, a movement supporting the development of the decentralised web. Logos technologies lay the foundations for a freer internet upon which communities can evolve into network states. Each protocol in the Logos stack seeks to empower its users while upholding civil liberties and fundamental freedoms. As a p2p messaging protocol, born from the original Web3 vision, Waku is a decentralized, censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving communication network that enables anyone to message, interact, collaborate, co-ordinate without worrying about surveillance or deplatforming. We are a cypherpunk group, looking for other builders to join a principle-first organisation and build truly decentralised software. Responsibilities Implement open protocols for peer-to-peer secure messaging. Create and maintain a sustainable and fault-tolerant distributed system. Write and maintain Nim code (nwaku codebase). Understand and optimise the core functionality of complex software systems. Provide feedback on overall design decisions, and participate in code reviews. Use libp2p to build infrastructure-level protocols. Support platforms and operators using nwaku software. Maintain Golang, Rust and other language SDKs built on top of FFI bindings. Ideally, you have A passion for privacy-preserving, decentralised and blockchain technology. At least 4 years of software engineering experience, with low-level/strongly typed languages (C/C++/Go/Rust). Experience building networking-heavy applications and p2p networking specifically. Familiarity with message propagation in loosely connected networks. Familiar with p2p building blocks such as gossiping, routing and discovery (DHTs), and Nat traversal. Bonus points if you have experience in Embedded systems development experience. Contributed to a blockchain-related, open-source project. Experience with Valgrind, or gdb, or gprof or perf. Experience with off-the-shelf networking stacks such as libp2p. Compensation We are happy to pay in a mix of fiat and/or crypto.
