Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:
As a Senior Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing a high-performance Solana validator client from scratch. 
The team you’d be joining is building a new open-source Solana validator client, Sig, using the Zig programming language. You can find more technical details about the project in the original announcement here.
The role’s primary responsibility will involve understanding the Solana Labs’ validator implementation codebase, written in Rust, and translating, optimizing, and improving the implementation in Zig (take a peek at the current work here!).

• Understanding and Communicating Rust Code: mapping and accurately communicating how the existing Rust client works.
• Writing high-quality code in Zig: translating the Rust code into Zig while maintaining high-quality code, including performance and readability.
• Performance Research: iteratively analyzing and optimizing software bottlenecks in Zig while leveraging high-performance tools such as SIMD operations to achieve performance requirements.
• **Code Ownership: **lead the implementation, benchmarking, and testing of your validator components from start to finish.
• **Collaboration: **leveraging strong communication skills to break down complex ideas into simple terms and demonstrating a knack for collaboration across a large group of engineers.

Requirements:

• You are a talented engineer who thrives in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
• Have 3+ years of related professional experience using Rust
• Proven experience in learning new tools and applying that knowledge to maximize performance, safety, time to deliver, and overall quality of work.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or relevant experience.

Bonus Experience:

• Knowledge of Go
• Proficient in web and network protocols (HTTP, TLS, DNS) and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
• Strong understanding of database engines (PostgreSQL, Clickhouse) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Experienced with Kubernetes, Docker, and creating/maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
