Radix DLT is hiring a

Web3 Systems Software Engineer Compiler Virtual Machines

Do you want to forever be known as a key part of the team that took decentralized finance (DeFi) mainstream – by finally delivering safe, approachable, parallelizable programming suitable for global finance on an open distributed ledger? Then look no further!

We are seeking an engineer with a hefty background in compilers, virtual machines, and systems design to help shape and implement our approach from the ground up, starting with our unique asset-oriented programming model.

You’ll start your Radix career with a period of intense research and prototyping alongside folks who have years of experience thinking about the problem set, and then you’ll transition to working on the implementation of the programming and execution layer atop our existing network. Your brain will bend in ways it wasn’t meant to be bent, you will form lifelong bonds with a team of incredible people, and you will forever remember the journey!

About You

You have a wealth of knowledge about compilers and interpreters that you never get to use at parties. You deeply understand everything that happens between code written in text files to program execution for at least one high-level language. You’re familiar with the basis of some existing VM architectures, and can speak intelligently about the pros and cons of various design approaches. You have previously shipped production software, and understand the importance of timely solutions over academic elegance.

What skills do you need?

4+ years as a professional software engineer

Strong debugging skills

Fluent in Rust, C, or C++

Familiarity with the underpinnings of LLVM is a plus

Familiarity with WASM is a plus

Solid understanding of computer architecture is a plus

About Us

At Radix, we're a team of like-minded thinkers who have long been convinced that we're living in the earliest stages of a global financial revolution. This revolution is being fuelled by decentralized finance (or DeFi for short), which is enabling an assortment of pioneering developers and entrepreneurs to re-invent almost every financial product that is currently traded and invested in traditional markets, without requiring central authorities or siloed infrastructure. DeFi has captured a great deal of attention and investment in the crypto-aware niche, growing assets under management to $90 billion in the last year. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn't even a rounding error on the over $111 trillion held in traditional finance. We're focused on what it will take to go from billions to trillions.

Radix went back to first principles to come up with the right technical solution—the first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFi—and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second. We're keenly aware that the need for an infinitely scalable platform is only one prerequisite among many for mass adoption, and we're also blazing new ground in the areas of purpose-built developer tools, user experiences, and regulatory integration.

We have forged a path deep into the future of what distributed ledger technology is going to look like and we need you to come and be part of the team that is making that happen right now.
