Rust Blockchain Solutions Architect
Overview
We’re seeking an experienced Rust architect to lead the engineering effort behind a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain client. You’ll define the technical roadmap, own system architecture and guide an international team through the transition from a large-scale testnet to a secure, performant mainnet.
What you’ll do
- Lead design and development of the Rust blockchain client — consensus, validation, networking, data storage and APIs.
- Define architecture standards for performance, reliability and security.
- Review and guide implementation of critical components (UTXO management, P2P layer, Smart Data features).
- Coordinate across product, DevOps and protocol teams to plan mainnet rollout and post-launch maintenance.
- Manage code quality, technical debt, and release cadence.
- Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, drive technical discussions, and uphold best practices.
- Collaborate with globally distributed teams (Mexico, India, USA) and communicate progress to leadership.
What we’re looking for
- 8+ years professional engineering experience, with at least 3 years leading Rust or blockchain teams.
- Proven track record designing distributed systems or blockchain clients.
- Deep understanding of consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives and UTXO-based ledger architectures.
- Strong Rust expertise (async systems, unsafe code management, FFI when necessary).
- Skilled in performance tuning, scalability, and systems security.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills across international teams.
Nice to have
- Experience shipping a blockchain mainnet or similar distributed system at scale.
- Familiarity with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Helm, Ansible).
- Contributions to open-source blockchain or cryptography projects.
- Background in secure coding practices, audits, or protocol design.
