Résumé du poste

Jobgether in Belgium is seeking an experienced P2P Node.js Engineer to advance high-performance peer-to-peer networking and distributed systems. You will design core networking primitives and work with protocols such as Kademlia, BitTorrent, libp2p, and hypercore, focusing on reliability and efficiency.

Join a fully remote, globally distributed team and tackle challenging problems involving unreliable networks, low latency, and scalable architectures.

Qualifications

• Extensive knowledge of peer-to-peer protocols and distributed networking (Kademlia, BitTorrent, libp2p, hypercore).
• Advanced JavaScript and Node.js development skills for high-performance networking apps.
• Strong understanding of UDP, TCP/IP, NAT traversal and networking fundamentals.
• Proven experience optimizing protocols and distributed systems for performance and low latency.
• Experience implementing custom binary protocols and serialization formats.
• Familiarity with cryptographic primitives used in secure P2P communications.
• 5+ years of production-grade P2P or distributed systems experience.
• Knowledge of V8 internals, libuv, or asynchronous I/O in C is valued.

Responsabilités

• Design, develop, and strengthen core peer-to-peer networking and storage primitives using Node.js and JavaScript.
• Implement and optimize P2P protocols and networking mechanisms (Kademlia, BitTorrent, libp2p, hypercore).
• Develop high-performance networking code and optimize protocols for throughput, latency, reliability, and efficiency.
• Work with TCP/IP and UDP networking, including NAT traversal across challenging environments.
• Design and implement custom binary protocols, serialization formats, and secure communication mechanisms.
• Apply cryptographic primitives to support secure and reliable peer-to-peer communications.
• Profile, diagnose, and optimize networked systems to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Contribute to distributed systems designed to operate reliably across unreliable networks.
• Collaborate with engineering teams on technically complex problems.
