Rust Engineer (WASM)

Edge & Node is at the forefront of web3 innovation. Our mission is to establish The Graph as the unbreakable foundation of open data. Our pioneering subgraphs set the industry standard and solidify The Graph as the premier solution for organizing and accessing blockchain data.

At Edge & Node, we champion a decentralized future based on shared values. Dedicated to decentralizing power and resisting censorship, we aim for a robust, permissionless information era free from central control, thus eliminating the traditional vulnerabilities associated with misplaced trust.

This team is currently in stealth mode and prioritizes developing and maintaining core software components that power The Graph. This top-tier team of Rust Engineers has been building with Rust since its inception and is composed of highly skilled developers. 

For this role, we are looking for a highly motivated and dedicated Rust Engineer who will support the development of state-of-the-art data services for processing blockchain data. If you’re passionate but don’t have experience with the specific technologies or web3, we encourage you to still apply. We value merit and skill and welcome those willing to learn and grow. 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing and integrating WebAssembly (WASM) runtime environments to support user-defined functions and custom data transformations.
• Applying WASM execution in Rust using Wasmtime to enhance performance. 
• Staying current with WASM standards such as the Component Model and their implementation status in Wasmtime to adopt the latest features. 
• Implementing multi-tenant WASM environments, with an understanding of sandboxing and deterministic execution, and support for parallel invocation of a module.
• Building developer tooling for WASM modules written Rust and JS/TS, including the definition of the interface between the host and WASM, unit testing, debugging and efficient build tooling.

What We Expect

• Strong proficiency in Rust, particularly with WASM integration and Wasmtime
• Great understanding of memory and execution isolation in WASM
• Experience with Rust and JavaScript for tooling and developer experience is a bonus.
• Adaptability to a dynamic and fully-remote work environment.
• Rigorous approach to software development that reflects a commitment to excellence.
