Job description

Senior Software Engineer - RISC-V
at Trilitech, powered by Tezos

Our Team
At Trilitech, our mission is to power the Web3 revolution by building cutting-edge solutions on the Tezos blockchain. We specialise in core development, application development, and business development across three key areas: Culture, Decentralised Finance, and Gaming. We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and continue to set new standards in this ever-evolving space.

The Role
The Core Tezos X team is developing the next-generation Layer 2 solutions on Tezos - a highly scalable computation platform enabling new blockchain use cases.

This is a technically challenging role that allows you to tackle bleeding-edge problems with other bright minds. You will have a huge impact on shaping the platform and guiding important design decisions.

We unify the domains of deterministic computation and performance to build a proof-generating virtual machine which runs common RISC-V Linux programs. This tool allows us to verify what is being run and ensure that it is being run according to our set of semantics regardless of where it is run.

What you'll need

• Strong hands-on experience in software engineering

• Experience with modern idiomatic Rust or a strong desire to learn it

• Strong Computer Science fundamentals (e.g. algorithms, data structures and concurrency)

• Familiarity with instruction sets in various contexts

• Being comfortable or having worked on/with language runtimes, compilers or interpreters

• Experience in systems programming or embedded systems or performance-critical software

• Be able to think through large engineering problems and break them down into digestible problems

• Communicate clearly in deep technical contexts verbally but also in writing and using whiteboards

What you can expect from us

• Generous LTIP tez token scheme

• Flexible hours and a hybrid working environment; work from home and our dog-friendly office in Soho with access to an onsite gym and media room

• Lunch delivered daily in the office

• Expense up to £2700 per annum for subsidised commuter costs

• 20 day working abroad policy

• 25 days paid holiday and an additional day to celebrate your birthday

• Enhanced parental & adoption leave

• We’ll double match your pension contribution

• Private medical and travel insurance from day one

• Learning and development initiatives

• Comprehensive life assurance policy

Why you’ll love it
Our cutting-edge projects offer you a chance to lead the way in shaping the future. We are dedicated to keeping your enthusiasm alive by fostering a fulfilling work environment that encourages open conversations and creativity. Collaboration and mutual support is key!

Our Values

Desire to Win
In our highly competitive industry, success is all about being at the top of our game. We strive for excellence and aim to be the best.
