Job Description

The Role

We are looking for systems researchers with a strong interest in databases and operating systems. Candidates with research experience in systems verification, operating systems, multi-core algorithms, or systems architecture, are an ideal match. You will be part of a small, deeply technical team, working on high-impact problems in a fast-paced environment. Although we are building a new blockchain, previous experience with crypto is not expected.

What You Will Do

  • Researching new architectures

  • Tech stack: C++, clang, LLVM, gdb, perf, unix, git

Who You Are

  • PhD in Computer Science or equivalent

  • Significant research experience into databases or operating systems

  • Experience writing performant algorithms

  • Experience writing production-grade code

  • Resourceful and self-motivated

  • Collaborative

  • Adaptive; able to make meaningful contributions in a fast-paced environment

  • Curious about lower-level system details

  • Interested in building high-value, performant and distributed systems

Salary and Benefits

Target full-time salary of $250,000.  (**This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary; a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience, domain expertise, and geographic location.)

Benefits for US employees include:

  • World class benefits package (medical/dental/vision)

  • Unlimited paid time off

  • 401(k) retirement plan + company match

  • Lunch and dinner stipend (in-office NYC)

  • Monthly wellness benefit
