About Near One
Near One engineering team is supporting development of the infrastructure of Layer 1 Blockchain, NEAR Protocol. The focus is on building scalable, performant, and reliable infrastructure to actualize visions of NEAR Protocol.
We are growing our team and looking for a software engineer with experience building and maintaining cryptography projects. As the in-house expert on cryptography, you will initiate, implement, and lead a variety of projects in this area, including integrating the results of the research done by teams in the Near community into NEAR Protocol. Your work will have a major impact on the scalability and decentralization of NEAR Protocol.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Collaboration with a fully distributed team around the world.
- Architecture and implementation of a novel multi-party computation (MPC) protocol in Rust.
- Performance optimizations and scalability/reliability improvements of the MPC protocol.
- Open source community contribution by collaborating with external contributors on our codebase and participating in community events.
What We’re Looking For:
- Fluency with algorithms and data structures.
- Ability to write clean yet efficient code.
- Creativity to come up with proof of concept from high level design while not knowing all the details.
- Experience with concurrency or parallelism.
- Meticulousness to lay out priorities and methodically make progress towards the goal.
- Strong communication and remote friendly working skills.
- Experience with blockchains
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related fields is a must.
We’d Love If You Have:
- Open source contributions and previous or continued involvement in open source communities
- 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.
