About Waku
We are building Waku (Waku.org) as a public good infrastructure. Waku is the messaging layer of Web3.
It is a decentralized, censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving communication network that enables anyone to send and receive messages without worrying about surveillance or deplatforming.
We are developing 3 open source implementations of Waku:
- Nwaku.https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku: the reference implementation and service node
- Js-waku,https://github.com/waku-org/js-waku: for the browser
- Go-waku:https://github.com/waku-org/go-waku: to integrate as a library in native applications
We are enabling Ethereum builders to create new projects with a fully decentralized architecture, think dApp to Wallet notifications, NFT marketplaces, censorship-resistant chat, layer-2 decentralization and more.
Key responsibilities:
- Design, implement and document Waku nim libraries and node (nwaku)
- Collaborate and support the Research team with the implementation of new protocols
- Investigate and fix issues in nwaku and upstream libraries such as nim-libp2p
- Maintain an array of bindings and wrappers over the nim library to enable usage of Waku in other languages (Rust, NodeJS, Golang)
- Optimize nwaku and upstream libraries for usage on various environments (VPS, laptop, mobile, Raspberry Pi)
- Support dApp developers in using nwaku and other Waku libraries/bindings
You ideally will have:
- At least 2 years of experience in low-level or statically typed languages (C, C++, Rust or Go)
- Experience building applications with complex logic, cutting edge technology or applied research, including for network environments
- Ability to learn new concepts and technologies quickly; you are a polyglot
- You have a deep interest for blockchain and decentralized technologies and understand how they work
Bonus points:
- You are already familiar with the Ethereum community or you are in Web3 or blockchain development
- You have experience with any libp2p implementations
- You have experience with maintaining bindings, especially in a mobile or embedded context
- You have experience working for a remote only open source organization
Hiring process:
- Intro call with PeopleOps (30 minutes)
- Interview (technical) with nwaku team member (1h)
- Pair programming session with a nwaku team member (1h)
- Final interview with Waku Lead (45minutes to 1h)
Compensation:
The expected compensation for this role is up to $100,000 (negotiable, dependent on how we assess your skills and experience throughout our interview process). We are happy to pay in any mix of fiat/crypto.
What is the meaning of Layer 2?
Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)
The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum
Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:
- Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
- Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
- State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
- Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
- Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
- Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
- Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
- Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
- Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
