Want to help build infrastructure for the Internet capital markets? Triton One operates the largest Solana RPC deployment with a fully remote team. We're looking for a Senior Rust Software Engineer to design and build low-latency networking applications.
Location
Wherever you are
The team
Developers and engineers (and one or two business folks) who care about solid engineering and contributing to the Solana community.
In the past year, we have (among many other things):
- Created and open-sourced key pieces of Solana infrastructure as part of our Yellowstone project: Dragon’s Mouth gRPC for streaming services provides a standardised way to access Solana’s geyser interface Old Faithful, the first full history archive of Solana Jet, the fastest and most fully featured QUIC-based transaction sender
- Dragon’s Mouth gRPC for streaming services provides a standardised way to access Solana’s geyser interface
- Old Faithful, the first full history archive of Solana
- Jet, the fastest and most fully featured QUIC-based transaction sender
- Built high-performance indexing on Solana in the form of Steamboat for program queries
- Worked together with other ecosystem actors to make the Digital Asset API a production-ready service
In the coming year, we look forward to further developing the Solana RPC stack and building better services for other chains. We’re crypto natives who provide bespoke infrastructure for high frequency trading, DeFi and NFT applications. Join us and help build Web 3.0!
The role
Build the next iteration of Solana.
When you join our team, you’ll help design and maintain the critical infrastructure and services that enable Triton to massively increase the bandwidth of Solana, while reducing the latency required to interrogate the ledger from genesis to tip.
Requirements
- Experience writing XDP programs and working with AFXDP (XSK) sockets in Rust
- Strong understanding of the UDP protocol and the Linux kernal networking stack
- Knowledge of the QUIC protocol
- Proficiency in asynchronous Rust
- Experience with performance tuning and profiling of network-heavy systems
- Experience in benchmarking, profiling and performance optimisation of Rust-based applications
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills — we speak several languages, but work primarily in English
Preferred skills
- Experience with Linux iouring
- Knowledge of shared memory mechanisms in Linux
- Familiarity with blockchain systems, particularly Solana
- Understanding of error correcting codes (ECC) / forward error correction (FEC)
Basically...
We want you to dig into library source code and open-source projects to understand implementation details and behaviour under the hood. And then we want you to make it better.
Our interview process
Our team works hard to build a high-trust, high-transparency environment. Everyone on our team knows that everyone else is an expert at what they do. So we try to keep our interview process tight. It will probably look something like:
- A 15-minute intro call with our Business Manager who can answer your basic questions about the role and the team
- A 60-minute technical interview with a member of your future team. You should be comfortable discussing technical challenges and best practices during this process.
- If a founder can't join the technical interview (and he will usually try to), we'll have a short intro call at this point.
It's important to us that we compensate our team well, and reward expertise and great work. You can talk about compensation and contract structures with our Business Manager at any time during the process. We want to make sure you're set up in a situation that works best for you.
Excited? We can’t wait to meet you!
