Job Description

Backend Engineer: Distributed Systems Specialist

Location: New York or London (Hybrid)

Salary: $300,000 – $350,000 USD

About Us

We’re a stealth-mode infrastructure venture building next-gen primitives for decentralized execution. Our mission: rethink how distributed systems scale, sync, and self-heal — with a focus on performance, modularity, and cryptographic integrity. Our team includes protocol veterans, systems engineers, and cryptography researchers pushing the limits of what’s possible in Web3 infra.

The Role

We’re hiring a Backend Engineer with deep distributed systems expertise to help architect and optimize our core infrastructure. You’ll work on low-latency, high-throughput systems that power decentralized coordination, execution, and data integrity across global nodes.

What You’ll Build

• Core backend services for distributed coordination and execution

• Fault-tolerant systems that scale across thousands of nodes

• Performance-critical modules for consensus, networking, and data pipelines

• Internal tooling for observability, testing, and simulation

• Contributions to open-source infra and protocol-level primitives

What You Bring

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience in systems-level environments

• Deep knowledge of distributed systems, fault tolerance, and consensus mechanisms

• Strong command of Rust, Go, or C++ (Rust )

• Experience with container orchestration, microservices, and cloud- infra

• Familiarity with blockchain, cryptographic protocols, or decentralized coordination

Bonus Points

• Experience in zero-knowledge systems, MPC, or verifiable computation

• Contributions to open-source infra projects

• Prior work in Layer 1 or Layer 2 blockchain development

Why Join

• Stealth-stage impact with protocol-grade ownership

• Competitive comp: $300k–$350k base + equity

• Hybrid flexibility in NYC or London

• Work with a team of deep systems thinkers and protocol engineers
