Senior Researcher, Systems

The Role

We are looking for systems researchers with a strong interest in databases and operating systems. Candidates with research experience in systems verification, operating systems, multi‑core algorithms, or systems architecture, are an ideal match. You will be part of a small, deeply technical team, working on high‑impact problems in a fast‑paced environment. Although we are building a new blockchain, previous experience with crypto is not expected.

• Designing performant algorithms and architectures related to storage or recovery, in single‑node or distributed environments.
• Researching new architectures.
• Tech stack: C++, clang, LLVM, gdb, perf, unix, git.

• PhD in Computer Science or equivalent.
• Significant research experience into databases or operating systems.
• Experience writing performant algorithms.
• Experience writing production‑grade code.
• Resourceful and self‑motivated.
• Collaborative.
• Adaptive; able to make meaningful contributions in a fast‑paced environment.
• Curious about lower‑level system details.
• Interested in building high‑value, performant and distributed systems.

Target full‑time salary of $250,000. (
