Technical Knowledge. Understand carrier networking concepts including BGP, MPLS SR-TE and various tunneling protocols. Know when to build something new vs. depending on an existing open source library.
Communication. Actively participate in the ongoing curation of the DoubleZero code base including facilitating discussions within issues and pull requests into the main branch.
Travel. Attend off site work sessions with your team every 6-8 weeks.

QUALIFICATIONS

5-10 years of software development experience supporting large scale networks
Experience building centralized network automation systems
Exposure to SVM or EVM-based smart contracts highly desired
Ability to prioritize appropriately and meet deadlines in high-pressure environments

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

Must be a self-starter and able to produce high quality work product in a remote team.

ABOUT DOUBLEZERO

DoubleZero is a decentralized, permissionless protocol that revolutionizes network performance for distributed systems like blockchain. The mission is simple: increase bandwidth and reduce latency.

DoubleZero increases bandwidth by filtering junk data that currently plagues validators and other network operators. DoubleZero reduces latency by connecting these filters with underutilized private fiber links in the form of a mesh network. By combining these improvements and routing the right data through optimized, low-latency paths, the DoubleZero protocol empowers blockchains and other systems to reach performance levels that are currently impossible.

In short, DoubleZero is a new Internet for distributed systems. It is supported by two organizations: DoubleZero Foundation, which drives the adoption, decentralization, security, and advancement of the protocol; and Malbec Labs, which develops the technical components of the protocol itself. We look forward to hearing from you.
