About Near
NEAR is a modular and scalable protocol built to empower AI agents: to understand user intent, perform transactions, orchestrate execution, and adapt over time.
Our ecosystem provides the foundation for AI-native applications — combining fast L1 infrastructure, cross-chain interoperability, and a developer-first environment that abstracts away blockchain complexity.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Effectively communicate and collaborate with a globally distributed team
- Work closely with NEAR’s leadership to explore new opportunities
- Work with partners to define technical requirements and prototype implementations
- Contribute to the team’s technical roadmap
- Facilitate cross-functional work within the organization
- Facilitate discussions and debates, consolidating different perspectives to drive decisions to execution
- Open source community contribution by collaborating with external contributors on our codebase and participating in community events.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience working with blockchains or complex distributed systems
- Ability to quickly learn and grasp complex engineering concepts
- An effective communicator and ability to remain calm under pressure and when juggling multiple priorities
- Fluency with algorithms and data structures
- Excellent coding skills
- Experience with Rust or alternatively but less preferred C++ or Go
- Experience with concurrency or parallelism
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field is a must
We’d Love If You Have:
- Open source contributions and previous or continued involvement in open source communities
- Experience with LLMs
- Knowledge and experience with cryptography
- Experience with Rust
- Experience working at a startup
Please let us know if you require any special requirements for your interview and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
