Software Engineer, Interop

Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.

We're building a new team, Interop, a systems-focused team that extends the Data Platform team's responsibilities to support a broader set of RPC and data-heavy services built on top of Sui. The Interop Layer provides systems support for the services that run on top of Sui, in all of their aspects of Sui interactions, state management, production reliability and release management.

The Interop team would own horizontal systems that interface directly with the Sui network — such as the Sui RPC nodes and support verticals that span teams including Cryptography, Move Platform, and Walrus by productionizing their externally-facing services.

What You'll Have:

• Have 5+ years of experience in hands-on software engineering, including methodologies to ensure correctness and performance of implemented components.

• Be fluent in a systems’ language such as Rust which is used within Mysten or C++ etc

• Had a substantial role in the design and implementation of a large distributed system.

• Have experience with the design and evaluation of secure systems, incl. secure programming, appropriate use of cryptography, and prevention of DoS attacks.

• Be fluent in writing design documentation as well as participating in technical discussions and reviews synchronously, asynchronously, in person or remotely.

• Have a level of expertise in one or more of networking, distributed systems, storage, databases, operating systems, and runtimes to be able to read research papers in the field and design systems based on them.

• Have a lay persons’ interest in open, decentralized, permissionless technologies, and the intersection of contemporary technology, economics, finance and governance.

• We especially encourage engineers that fulfill some of the above with no prior experience of working on blockchain technologies
