About The Role:

The NEAR Protocol Engineering team is looking for an engineering leader to manage the team that works on the blockchain storage layer. The scope of the team includes, but is not limited to, design and implementation of the state representation of the protocol, key-value databases, and low-level performance optimizations.

• Establishing and following the minimal necessary processes, like technical roadmaps, OKRs, milestones, regular team meetings;
• Communicating with the dependent parties, which includes internal teams, the external partners, and the engineering community;
• Establishing a resilient team culture that can overcome any turbulence without burnout

What We're Looking For:

• We expect you to either have experience or being able to design complex distributed and concurrent systems; being able to reason about game-theoretic concepts, incentives, and adversarial scenarios;
• While you should have a zeal for technical excellence, you should be very comfortable with balancing degrees of risk and business needs;
• You should be a great communicator and remain calm under pressure or when juggling multiple priorities;
• You should be a humble and inspirational leader who is comfortable leading by example
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a relate field is a must

We'd Love If You Have:
