Bonus

• Experience with compilers
• Experience building (not using) distributed systems
• Mathematical or cryptography background
• Understanding of low level computer science primitives (vm, heap, stack, memory allocation, etc)

The role

We're rebuilding the database from the ground up. Things you could be working on:

• Compiling from our native language Polylang to Miden VM (a zk vm language)
• Consensus protocol (we have our own implementation)
• Merkle Tree rollup
• Indexers (we use rocks-db under the hood)
• P2P communication using libp2p
• Optimizing performance of archictecture
