Job description

This is a remote position.

We are hiring Staff Software Engineer – Rust for our client based in - US, Canada, Europe.

Candidate Location: US, Canada or Europe

Work model: (Remote) from US, Canada or Europe

We are seeking a Staff-Level Rust Engineer to lead the implementation of the off chain component of a novel hack prevention protocol for EVM chains. This protocol focuses on low-latency EVM simulations, ensuring that each transaction is valid based on a set of rules within extreme time constraints, often in the tens of milliseconds. Your work will play a pivotal role in securing decentralized applications by running software close to Web3 infrastructure, actively preventing hacks in real-time.

You’ll contribute to Credible Layer, one of our core products. This role involves protocol design, hands-on Rust development, and crafting scalable, security-first systems. You’ll also have the opportunity to shape the overall direction of our engineering efforts while working closely with other top engineers in cryptography and security.

Responsibilities:

Lead the architecture and implementation of the off chain component for Hack Prevention Protocol.
Collaborate with external L2 teams to integrate systems with their APIs (e.g., sequencers) and ensure seamless operation within their infrastructure.
Ensure the implementation is performant and secure, treating it as "critical infrastructure" to prevent hacks on decentralized applications.
Develop and maintain low-latency EVM simulations, ensuring transaction validation within strict time requirements (tens of milliseconds).
Contribute to the design and review of security protocols and systems, ensuring they are robust, scalable, and future-proof.
Drive innovation by researching and experimenting with new tools and technologies in the Rust ecosystem aiming to improve security offerings.

Requirements

Strong experience in software development with Rust and systems architecture.
Experience in developing high-performance and low-latency systems.
Experience in protocol design and an understanding of how protocols work at a high level.
Experience in performance optimizations related to databases and networking.
Ability to collaborate with external teams for integration with Layer 2 systems and APIs.
Experience in open-source contributions and engagement with the Rust or broader open-source communities.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Ability to work independently and take initiative.
