Company mission
To create foundational infrastructure for Web 3.0.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in systems and/or network programming, ideally in Rust, C or C++
- Experience designing and developing systems in one or more of the following areas: Distributed systems, storage/database systems, high performance systems, or networking protocols
- Production experience: operating and managing production systems, proficiency in system monitoring and alerting, with strong focus on reliability
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Expertise in performance tuning and optimizing both system architecture and low-level services
- Proven ability to drive complex projects to completion
What the job involves
- The Data Platform team is responsible for developing solutions that support high-throughput blockchain data consumption, including first-party applications, data ingestion frameworks, and RPC node services
- This role is balancing high-level architectural vision, understanding end to end application flows, hands-on performance optimizations, constant experimentation and lots of coding
- Optimize Sui’s data infrastructure from end-to-end: write performance, storage footprint, read performance, scaling, reliability, and costs
- Build and maintain robust, high-performance RPC services to facilitate reading of blockchain data
- Design and build low-latency, and reliable subscription services
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to ensure seamless integration of data platform solutions with first-party applications and the ecosystem at large
Our take
Mysten Labs was created with the ambition to build a blockchain comparable to Ethereum or Solanan - but with even greater capabilities. That means tackling pain points currently found in blockchain technology, like scaling transactions and speed to meet growing demand.
To do this, Mysten is building foundational infrastructure for Web 3.0 which supports the accelerated development and adoption of decentralized services. The startup is determined to build a platform that finally lets Web 3.0 developers focus on UI, without compromising on security.
The company has focussed on expanding partnerships with existing networks such as Ethos and Orange Comet Partners, who have integrated Mysten technology, as well as open protocols based on Mysten-designed components. Ensuring that it assigns developer and community outreach resources in the right places will be crucial to building a sustainable business in this relatively young space.
