Type: Full-Time
Compensation: Competitive Salary + Token Allocation

The Role

As a Senior Rust Core Engineer at Raiku, you will spearhead our engineering efforts, driving the innovation and implementation of next-generation high-performance distributed systems. You will work with a highly proficient team of core engineers who have all contributed to foundational and novel network components.

We believe in hiring only exceptional individuals who are highly motivated to work on complex core infrastructure challenges and are motivated by a coherent system design philosophy that will drive our industry forward. Expect frequent group discussions on architecture, new design specs and code reviews. We are all deeply committed to frequently shipping quality code.


About Raiku

Raiku is reimagining Solana's consensus ecosystem by developing software that directly connects validators with purpose-built execution environments. We're building institutional-grade infrastructure that delivers unprecedented performance, guaranteed transaction inclusion, and deterministic settlement for the next generation of internet-native applications. We unlock radical bandwidth and latency improvements by shifting Solana’s focus to state verification. 

About the Engineering Team

As a team, we are building an entire platform written in Rust, which connects the L1 and L2s and allows us to create deeply complex scenarios and interactions with the running network. While your primary focus for this role is Rust and complex interactions with different components, you will likely also be involved in infrastructure (e.g., k8s), script writing, and supporting projects in other languages (e.g., Go). Working at every level of the stack is necessary to understand the big picture and how everything is wired together.

Responsibilities

  • Highly motivated to contribute to our mission and be part of something bigger. Excited to work on projects that are ground-breaking and complex
  • Refactor, improve and lead software design implementation
  • Communicate effectively with the team and document your code. It is also expected that founding engineers mentor less experienced engineers.
  • Read and understand protocol specifications and be able to break them into issues and turn them into Rust code.
  • Maintaining a large codebase with many components and keeping it well-designed, future-proofed, modular and highly performant
  • Automate security testing processes and benchmarks, creating innovative tools and frameworks for continuously improving our systems.

What You'll Bring:

  • A bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, coupled with practical experience in blockchain systems.
  • At least 3 years of experience in distributed systems, with a deep technical understanding of L1 and L2 architectures.
  • Strong proficiency in Rust, with at least 2-3 years of Rust experience.
  • Strongly emphasising writing performant and secure code.
  • Demonstrated experience in designing, developing, and deploying scalable distributed systems.
  • An analytical mindset with the ability to anticipate and mitigate emerging security threats, leveraging a comprehensive understanding of the blockchain landscape.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Active open-source contributions in core protocol engineering (such as Firedancer, Reth, Lighthouse, Geth, …).
  • Direct involvement in the Solana ecosystem, with contributions to Solana's runtime, scheduler, or other core systems.
  • Experience writing Solana Program Library (SPL) and Anchor or similar frameworks 
  • Active engagement with the blockchain security research community, evidenced by contributions to open-source projects, publications, or presentations at notable conferences.

Benefits

  • Competitive remuneration packages based on iterative market research, including tokens
  • Remote-first and self-initiating with flexible hours
  • Work with team players who are genuinely excited about their impact and projects.
  • A dynamic and collaborative work environment that fosters innovation and recognises individual contributions to collective success
  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement within a rapidly growing technological frontier

What does a blockchain engineer do?

A blockchain engineer is responsible for developing and implementing blockchain-based solutions

Here are some of the key responsibilities of a blockchain engineer:

  1. Design and develop blockchain protocols: The blockchain engineer is responsible for designing and developing blockchain protocols, including consensus algorithms, data structures, and security protocols.
  2. Develop decentralized applications: The blockchain engineer builds decentralized applications (DApps) that run on top of blockchain networks.
  3. Write smart contracts: Smart contracts are self-executing contracts that run on blockchain networks. The blockchain engineer writes smart contracts using programming languages such as Solidity.
  4. Implement and test blockchain solutions: The blockchain engineer implements and tests blockchain solutions to ensure they work as intended.
  5. Stay up-to-date with the latest blockchain technologies: The blockchain industry is constantly evolving, and a blockchain engineer must stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies.
  6. Collaborate with other developers: The blockchain engineer collaborates with other developers, such as front-end developers, to integrate blockchain solutions into larger software applications.
  7. Ensure security and scalability: The blockchain engineer must ensure that the blockchain solution is secure and scalable to handle a large number of users and transactions.
