Job description

Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.

We're building a new team, Interop, a systems-focused team that extends the Data Platform team's responsibilities to support a broader set of RPC and data-heavy services built on top of Sui. The Interop Layer provides systems support for the services that run on top of Sui, in all of their aspects of Sui interactions, state management, production reliability, and release management.

The Interop team owns horizontal systems that interface directly with the Sui network — such as the Sui RPC nodes — and supports verticals that span teams including Cryptography, Move Platform, and Walrus by productionizing their externally-facing services.

What You'll Have:

• 5+ years of experience in hands-on software engineering, including methodologies to ensure correctness and performance of components.
• Fluency in a systems programming language such as Rust (used within Mysten) or C++.
• Significant experience in designing and implementing large distributed systems.
• Experience with secure system design, cryptography, and prevention of DoS attacks.
• Proficiency in writing design documentation and participating in technical discussions and reviews, both synchronously and asynchronously, remotely or in person.
• Expertise in networking, distributed systems, storage, databases, operating systems, or runtimes to interpret research and design based on it.
• An interest in open, decentralized, permissionless technologies and their intersection with technology, economics, finance, and governance.
• We especially encourage applications from engineers with some of the above experience but no prior blockchain experience.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, including verification of employment history, education, criminal record, and other relevant information.

Our team is remote-first, hiring worldwide. Join a world-class team with tremendous growth potential as we bring the next billion users to web3. We have raised a $300M Series B round from top venture funds such as Jump Crypto, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Binance Labs, and others. Come build the future of web3 with us!
