About us We're building Predicate, a decentralized protocol that fundamentally transforms how smart contracts handle transaction prerequisites. Our protocol enables developers to compose modular rules (from AML checks to offchain collateral requirements) that are verified before transactions hit the chain, and enforced by a network of operators in a trust-minimized and verifiable fashion. The protocol introduces a novel primitive: Predicate Functions, that compose into onchain policies. These policies, owned and governed by application developers or DAOs, define the prerequisites for transaction execution. Our operator network ensures that these rules are enforced with cryptographic guarantees, enabling sophisticated transaction validation without compromising on decentralization.
The role As a senior engineer, you will architect and build the core operator network that powers the Predicate protocol. This is a high-agency position where you will drive technical initiatives and shape our architecture from the ground up.
Responsibilities
- Lead critical technical initiatives with high autonomy, designing and implementing changes to the Predicate Network
- Use your distributed systems engineering knowledge to design and implement back-end services
- Propose, write, and explain technical designs, approaches, and your solutions
- Constantly learn new concepts, ideas, and frameworks from your peers
- Stay updated on the latest methodologies and technologies in distributed node infrastructure to ensure that our network remains at the forefront of the industry
What we look for
- BS/MS in a technical field such as Computer Science or equivalent experience
- 5+ years of software development experience with distributed systems
- 2+ years of experience with Golang
- Experience with container and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
- Experience building, owning, and operating high-scale distributed systems
- You recognize that the decentralization ethos and community in crypto are different from other professional software industries, and you want to embrace and improve it
