Distributed Systems Engineer

The Impact You’ll Make:

The Distributed Systems Engineer is a champion for the new internet. They will architect, road map, and harness Dexible’s engineering talent towards building the most resilient execution system in the world. This person is value-driven, seeks to strike a balance between pragmatism and strict application of strong engineering principles, and wants to leverage the latest scientific tools towards a better world. This role is ideal for engineers with an eye for security in distributed systems.

This role requires rigorous engineering from protocol design through all the phases of implementation. The Distributed Systems Engineer is familiar with writing low and high-level code, confident with functional style programming, and knowledgeable in computer networking research.

Your Responsibilities:

• Dig deep into technical topics of networking, such as protocols, connection management, routing, peer discovery, NAT traversal, multiplexing, encryption, and security.
• Design and implement blockchain supporting tools and utilities (CLI client, tools for exploring the blockchain, monitoring, benchmarking, or debugging tools)
• Work with product and engineering teams to ensure great UX, consistent across all parts of the protocol’s design.
• Interact with and support our growing community of developers and network participants, such as decentralized app developers and indexers.
• Contribute to steering and maintenance of the implementations of foundational open-source utilities for the decentralized web
• Participate in the design and implementation of performant and resilient distributed applications

Requirements:

• Experience with low-level languages like C/C++ and Typescript. Relevant areas/tech include PostgreSQL and databases in general, asynchronous programming and threads, microservice architectures, performance optimizations, caching, and API frameworks such as GraphQL.
• Experience writing high-quality data processing code in Go, Java, Python, or other high-performance languages
• Experience designing and building distributed and/or p2p software systems and applications
• Knowledge of cryptography and security best practices. Hashing, signing, cryptographic proofs, and verification play a big role in the security and correctness of the network.
• Experience with 1 or more of the following: Smart Contracts, storage platforms, UNIX file systems, VMs
• Experience in creating and maintaining complex distributed, concurrent and low-level software systems.
• Understanding of low (i.e. OS) level networking concepts as well as asynchronous programming.
• Knowledge of the TCP/UDP/IP stack and networking principles

Our Mission:

We built Dexible to accelerate the transformation of our financial institutions by tackling the gap between centralized crypto finance and decentralized crypto finance. By focusing on the professional market, Dexible has become battle-tested in delivering extraordinary quality service that can be leveraged for the public’s benefit.

Today’s crypto hedge funds and professional retail traders face a number of challenges when it comes to trading and managing their portfolios. Dexible has set out to provide solutions to these problems.

As a company, we believe rational optimism drives innovation and we are committed to building a contrarian workplace and culture based on our pragmatic values. Empathy informs how we work together as a team, how we service our customers, and how we approach the products we build. We believe empathy extends beyond our company to how we interface with the world. It’s a value to uphold in all areas of life and is deeply connected to the future world we envision.
