Senior Systems Engineer (Rust), Rethnet

We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to join the team behind Rethnet - an Ethereum development runtime implementation that can be reused to build new developer tools that provide debugging information to developers.

This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+1 to UTC-4 timezones.

This is a unique opportunity to make an early and key contribution to a project that we believe will be significant in its own right. In this role, you will work with low-level bytecode, virtual machines, compilers, and programming languages. You will closely collaborate with the rest of the team to design and implement advanced functionalities, troubleshoot and prioritize bugs, write clear supporting documentation, conduct code reviews, and work together on architectural decisions.

You will play a critical role in upholding our commitment to open-source software by actively contributing to the repository, collaborating with fellow developers, listening to feedback, and incorporating new ideas into our codebase. Through your efforts, you will help us maintain our reputation for excellence and inspire others to join us in our mission.
