Blockchain Protocol Engineer

Description:

A pioneering opportunity is open for an experienced Blockchain Protocol Engineer with deep expertise in Rust, cryptographic consensus mechanisms, and AI-integrated blockchain design. You will spearhead the development and optimization of a novel Layer 1 blockchain with a dual-consensus mechanism that combines LLM-assisted decision-making and traditional cryptographic systems (e.g., PoS, DAG, BFT). This is a role for innovators with a solid grasp of both blockchain architecture and post-quantum cryptography.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement a high-performance, decentralized L1 blockchain protocol using Rust.

• Develop a dual-consensus system combining LLM-assisted AI logic with established consensus algorithms (PoS, DAG, BFT).

• Build quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols, integrating lattice-based cryptography, hash-based signatures, and other post-quantum standards.

• Write smart contracts in Solidity or Move, facilitating interaction between on-chain logic and off-chain AI agents.

• Integrate Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and homomorphic encryption to ensure robust privacy and computational efficiency.

• Enhance validator node performance, optimizing for low latency, energy efficiency, and network throughput.

• Participate in DAO governance design and tokenomics modeling, integrating AI-driven mechanisms.

• Collaborate closely with AI engineers, cryptographers, and distributed systems experts to refine blockchain design.

• Develop SDKs, APIs, and developer tools to foster adoption and enable efficient dApp development.

• Stay updated with cutting-edge trends in blockchain, AI consensus, and quantum computing.

Required Skills:

• Strong command of Rust in the context of blockchain development (Substrate, Cosmos SDK, or custom frameworks).

• Experience in Solidity for smart contract development and deployment.

• Deep understanding of blockchain consensus mechanisms (PoS, DAG, BFT, or hybrid).

• Proven knowledge of quantum-resistant cryptography, such as lattice-based encryption and STARKs/SNARKs.

• Experience with AI-enhanced smart contracts and LLM integration in decentralized systems.

• Solid foundation in distributed systems, P2P networking, and cryptographic security models.

• Proficiency in EVM, WASM-based contracts, and cross-chain interoperability.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with ZK-Rollups, homomorphic encryption, or multi-party computation (MPC).

• Familiarity with platforms like Substrate, Tendermint, Cosmos SDK, Avalanche, etc.

• Exposure to AI models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning in the context of blockchain governance.

• Contributions to open-source blockchain or cryptography communities.

• Ability to write clean, modular, and well-documented codebases.
