Web3 Gaming Jobs

Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up as a platform for a new generation of Web3 apps, games, and the digital assets that power them. Flow is home today to millions of users and apps from top tier creators including Genies, Cryptoys, Doodles, and Dapper Labs (NBA, NFL, Disney) as well as industry leaders such as Mattel (Barbie, Hot Wheels), LiveNation / Ticketmaster, and many more.

We’re expanding the team of Protocol Engineers working on Flow, a high-throughput, multi-node blockchain designed for internet scale. This role is responsible for building and evolving the systems and architecture for Flow, improving performance, scalability and throughput characteristics of the system. 

The ideal candidate will have an ability to combine experience in distributed systems engineering with curiosity and creativity to devise new approaches to complicated problems. You understand the value of clear and performant code and apply high standards to the solutions you are delivering. You understand that working on a high-availability product needs quick problem-solving when things don’t go as planned. You are a strong communicator and contribute to improving not only solutions you work on but also the effectiveness and alignment of the team and your peers.

What we will accomplish together:

• Design, develop, and maintain core protocol software and related systems to enhance throughput, latency, availability, and security
• Maintain, improve and optimize existing architecture 
• Ensure the security, integrity, and scalability of the solutions you deliver
• Support Flow network operations and incidents 
• Ensure that our work is ethical and values-driven to create a positive impact on the world

About you:

• You are capable of applying your skills across a variety of use cases. We believe in processes and the power of planning, but you will often have to roll with the punches and prioritize the most impactful tasks on the fly.
• 3+ years of distributed systems engineering using GoLang, or C/C++, Rust, Java/C#
• Experienced in building a path to successful delivery from situations with high technical ambiguity, including writing design proposals and building consensus with key stakeholders as well as wider ecosystem community developers
• Experience with building scalable solutions in a resource-constrained environment, testing and test automation, debugging, profiling and systems architecture
• Experience with maintaining and operating high-availability service(s)
• You lead by example and understand that your impact in a project goes beyond just the code
• You promote and apply best practices, improve team or company processes or effectiveness, and take or provide constructive feedback to peers
• Knowledge of byzantine-fault-tolerant system design and/or distributed consensus is beneficial

Flow is a remote-first team of seasoned technologists dedicated to our mission of mainstream Web3 adoption. Founded in Vancouver, Canada, Flow’s team is now spread primarily across the US and Canada – with small presences in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Less than 6 months from now, Flow delivers Crescendo, its biggest technical upgrade since launching the network. Included in the Crescendo release is Cadence 1.0, a major upgrade of the Cadence programming language which enables fully immutable smart contracts on Flow; as well as full EVM equivalence, allowing Flow to host EVM-based smart contracts, platforms, tooling, and utilities natively and fully composable with the Cadence environments. With Crescendo, Flow will be as easy to deploy onto as any EVM-based Layer 2, while preserving the full capabilities of the rest of the protocol. Crescendo upgrade will catalyze a massive improvement in liquidity on Flow including on- and off-ramps as well as a native DeFi ecosystem that serves as a liquidity backbone for the entire network.

At Flow Foundation, we prioritize recruiting top talent and cultivating an empowering environment for our team. This entails fostering a workplace that is characterized by diversity, inclusivity, and open-mindedness. We enthusiastically welcome applicants from all walks of life, regardless of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or disability.
