Fuel is seeking a full-time Senior Protocol Engineer who will work at the bleeding edge of blockchain scalability R&D, designing and building robust blockchain full-node software powered by a next-generation virtual machine.

For this position, we need someone who is equally a thought leader as they are a senior technical professional. Someone who is opinionated, and isn’t afraid to give feedback on our existing blockchain architecture and use their extraordinary talent to present new ideas.

Solve legacy issues/problems existing in other blockchain projects
Enabling extremely high throughput and parallelism
Continue upgrading and improving the protocol over time, even after the mainnet launch

Areas of Responsibility

Working on low-level improvements and optimisations of the Fuel VM
Building new protocol features based on specifications changes including but not limited to bridging, fraud proofing, multidimensional pricing, and improving gas efficiency/economic modelling to increase throughput further
Building secure and resilient distributed P2P systems
Maintaining Fuel after the mainnet launch

Required Experience

Solid track record of experience as a software engineer
Strong proficiency in Rust (open-source contributions preferred)
Deep understanding of virtual machines and/or blockchain node software
Experience developing or designing P2P distributed systems
