Engineer Jobs at Ava Labs

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Produce testing frameworks to simulate the correctness and liveness of new consensus algorithms
• Fuzz and maintain existing Snow-Family Consensus Algorithms implemented in AvalancheGo
• Research and implement new networking protocols that can be used by AvalancheGo or Subnets
• Develop primitives to efficiently synchronize state and/or data throughout the Avalanche Network

Here are some specific examples of projects you could contribute to:

• Extend Avalanche Consensus to improve practical liveness: https://github.com/ava-labs/avalanchego/pull/2125
• Transition AvalancheGo to use QUIC instead of TCP
• Create a library that allows validators to store off-chain data with a configurable redundancy and repair data that has become under-replicated

WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT

• You believe in a future where blockchain technologies make the world a more fair and free place for everyone.
• You have the desire to work on open-source code and engage with the community. You wish to work together with other talented contributors instead of working alone.
• You are a coder. You prefer implementing a proof-of-concept before writing a multi-page technical document.
• You create and find projects that provide value. You don’t need to wait for someone to tell you what to research or work on.
• You have an obsession with code quality and performance. You ship code when it is ready, not as soon as it passes unit tests.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• Demonstrated capability in subject area (open source code or published work is a bonus)
• Golang or Rust programming experience
