To build the next generation of developer infrastructure for Web3.
Role
Who you are
- You are a talented engineer who thrives in a collaborative and fast-paced environment
- You're excited about contributing to the decentralization of blockchain ecosystems
- You have 3+ years of related professional experience using Rust (experience in memory-managed languages (Zig/C/C++) is nice to have but not required)
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or relevant experience
What the job involves
- As a Senior Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing a high-performance Solana validator client from scratch
- The team you’d be joining is building a new open-source Solana validator client, Sig, using the Zig programming language
- The role’s primary responsibility will involve understanding the Solana Labs’ validator implementation codebase, written in Rust, and translating, optimizing, and improving the implementation in Zig
- Understanding and Communicating Rust Code: mapping and accurately communicating how the existing Rust client works
- Writing high-quality code in Zig: translating the Rust code into Zig while maintaining high-quality code, including performance and readability
- Performance Research: iteratively analyzing and optimizing software bottlenecks in Zig while leveraging high-performance tools such as SIMD operations to achieve performance requirements
- Code Ownership: lead the implementation, benchmarking, and testing of your validator components from start to finish
- Collaboration: leveraging strong communication skills to break down complex ideas into simple terms and demonstrating a knack for collaboration across a large group of engineers
- In three months, you have become one of our core Zig developers. You’ll have taken on independent code review responsibilities and are collaborating on the design of new features
- In six months, you have earned the trust of the team and are delivering tasks through the entire SDLC, from design through development with minimal guidance, and are helping to effectively mentor new engineers joining the team
- In twelve months, you have established a cadence of predictable, on-time delivery without cutting corners
Our take
Joining the expanding industry of Web3 developers, Syndica is a blockchain infrastructure company working through the Solana ecosystem, which prides itself on higher speeds and lower costs than its main competitor Ethereum.
The Web3 battle in the DeFi space has given way to many DeFi outfits like Syndica, founded in 2021, and has among its staff former engineers and developers from 0x Labs and Messari.
Syndica advertises highly saleable blockchain infrastructure and multi-node architecture as its flagship products. Whether this is enough to help Syndica stand out in a rapidly changing and highly competitive field remains to be seen.
