We are looking for an experienced rust engineer who shares our passion for decentralised systems, and whose development skills complement those of our team.
You may fit the role if you:

- Have familiarity with the rust-libp2p framework
- Possess a keen interest in information security
- Have a practical knowledge of cryptographic signature schemes
- Are passionate about Ethereum, proof-of-stake blockchains, and/or decentralised systems
This role is for a developer whose primary objective will be to contribute towards development of decentralized staking systems. There is multiple areas of work that can be undertaken based on preference. For example, distributed networks, consensus mechanisms, optimizations etc.
