Building the stack from the ground up, we’re translating the latest Ethereum 2.0 research into practical, performant and reusable libraries to provide fertile exploration ground for further R&D. Check our latest update!

Key responsibilities

• Automation of infrastructure deployment, configuration, and scaling
• Maintenance of monitoring, logging, and backup systems
• Development of continuous integration platforms and scripts
• Ensuring security of hosts and other online resources
• Daily monitoring of all services and responding to breakage and security incidents
• Maintaining a written knowledge base regarding all practices and processes followed by the team, including step-by-step guides, check lists, trouble-shooting tips and other resources
• Improving the observability of the Nimbus software by implementing additional metrics and tuning the logging output
• Detailed reporting of all encountered issues to the Nimbus development team

You ideally will have

• Experience or interest in Ethereum and/or the ecosystem
• Openness to learning & using new programming languages, e.g. Nim

• Prior experience as a programmer/engineer using low-level languages (C, C++, etc.)
• Experience in, and passion for, blockchain technology.
• A strong alignment to our principles: https://status.im/about/#our-principles

Bonus points if

• Experience with Nim
• Ability and willingness to work with a little bit of research: will be among other things to get information directly from the open-source blockchain code and deal with cases where no documentation is provided
• Experience with running different Ethereum nodes (Geth, OpenEthereum, Erigon, etc)
• Experience with running ETH2.0 validator and beacon chain nodes (Lighthouse, Prysm, Teku, etc)
• Deep understanding and expertise on the technical level of the ETH2 protocol (such as validation, slashing, network edge cases)

About Status

Status is building the tools and infrastructure for the advancement of a secure, private, and open web3.

With the high level goals of preserving the right to privacy, mitigating the risk of censorship, and promoting economic trade in a transparent, open manner, Status is building a community where anyone is welcome to join and contribute.

As an organization, Status seeks to push the web3 ecosystem forward through research, creation of developer tools, and support of the open source community.

As a product, Status is an open source, Ethereum-based app that gives users the power to chat, transact, and access a revolutionary world of DApps on the decentralized web. But Status is also building foundational infrastructure for the whole Ethereum ecosystem, including the Nimbus ETH 1.0 and 2.0 clients, the Keycard hardware wallet, and the Waku messaging protocol (a continuation of Whisper).

As a team, Status has been completely distributed since inception. Our team is currently 150+ core contributors strong, and welcomes a growing number of community members from all walks of life, scattered all around the globe.

We care deeply about open source, and our organizational structure has minimal hierarchy and no fixed work hours. We believe in working with a high degree of autonomy while supporting the organization’s priorities.

About Waku

We are building Waku as a public good infrastructure. Waku is the messaging layer of Web3.

It is a decentralized, censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving communication network that enables anyone to send and receive messages without worrying about surveillance or deplatforming.

We are developing 3 open source implementations of Waku:

• Nwaku: the reference implementation and service node
• Js-waku: for the browser
• Go-waku: to integrate as a library in native applications

We are enabling Ethereum builders to create new projects with a fully decentralized architecture, think dApp to Wallet notifications, NFT marketplaces, censorship-resistant chat, layer-2 decentralization and more.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement and document Waku Golang libraries (go-waku)
• Maintain, improve, troubleshoot Waku React Native, the React Native wrapper of go-waku
• Implement new protocols as defined by the Research Team
• Investigate and fix issues in go-waku and upstream libraries such as go-libp2p
• Optimize go-waku and upstream libraries for the mobile/React Native
• Support dApp developers in using go-waku and Waku Golang libraries

You ideally will have

• Experience building applications with complex logic, cutting edge technology or applied research
• Ability to learn new concepts and technologies quickly, you are a polyglot
• Experience maintaining native library for React Native
• Experience building libraries in Golang, for network and mobile environments
• Good communication skills (written and conversational)
• Strong alignment to our principles

Bonus points if:

• You are already familiar with the Ethereum community
• You have experience with go-libp2p or other libp2p implementations
• You have experience with C-Bindings & Cgo
• You are in Web3 or blockchain development
• You have experience working for an open source organization
• You have experience working async
