DoubleZero is looking for a highly talented Smart Contract Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of a novel decentralized smart contract that will underpin the DoubleZero Protocol.

KEY AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

  • Smart Contract Development. Write blockchain-based BSS in Rust/Solana to interface with network devices provided by DoubleZero bandwidth contributors. Create modular and testable code while following secure development practices. Take ownership in the design and evolution of large portions of the overall system.

  • Implementing Economics for Validators. Work closely with our Chief Economists to understand the needs and incentives of users of the DoubleZero network and then write smart contracts which effectively transfer value across the various participants in the protocol. For more information, see economics.doublezero.xyz.

  • Technical Knowledge. Understand smart contracts concepts including Solana, Ethereum and other blockchain technologies. Know when to build something new vs. depending on an existing open-source library.

  • Solana and beyond. While the DoubleZero network is starting with Solana, we will ultimately support validators across a range of chains as well as non-blockchain use cases. Flex your engineering talents to write smart contracts on other chains as well as identify improvements needed to grow DoubleZero as we support multi-tenancy.

  • Communication.  Actively participate in the ongoing curation of the DoubleZero code base including facilitating discussions within issues and pull requests into the main branch.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5-10 years of software development experience supporting large scale products

  • 2-3 years of Solana smart contract experience, ideally in infrastructure or validator-related projects

  • Experience building decentralized software systems

  • Ability to prioritize appropriately and meet deadlines in high-pressure environments

ABOUT DOUBLEZERO

DoubleZero is a decentralized, permissionless protocol that revolutionizes network performance for distributed systems like blockchain. The mission is simple: increase bandwidth and reduce latency.

DoubleZero increases bandwidth by filtering junk data that currently plagues validators and other network operators. DoubleZero reduces latency by connecting these filters with underutilized private fiber links in the form of a mesh network. By combining these improvements and routing the right data through optimized, low-latency paths, the DoubleZero protocol empowers blockchains and other systems to reach performance levels that are currently impossible.

In short, DoubleZero is a new Internet for distributed systems. It is supported by two organizations: DoubleZero Foundation, which drives the adoption, decentralization, security, and advancement of the protocol; and Malbec Labs, which develops the technical components of the protocol itself. We look forward to hearing from you.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
