About This Role
Summary: 1. Key technical requirements and skills: - Proficiency in systems programming languages like C, C++, Rust, and Nim - Experience with plugin architectures, dynamic loading, and package managers for modular runtime systems - Strong understanding of microkernel principles and Linux namespaces/cgroups for process isolation and containerization - Knowledge of IPC optimization and low-level performance tuning in multi-process environments - Experience in network programming and peer-to-peer technologies, blockchain, or cryptography 2. Team/project information: - Logos is a social movement and decentralized technology stack aimed at revitalizing civil society - The role involves designing and implementing liblogos, a modular plugin runtime for decentralized nodes, and collaborating with teams to build and test modules like the Logos blockchain, messaging, and storage modules 3. Unique or notable
Logos is a movement supporting the development of the decentralised web. Logos technologies lay the foundations for a freer internet upon which communities can evolve into network states. Each protocol in the Logos stack seeks to empower its users while upholding civil liberties and fundamental freedoms.
Logos is a social movement and decentralised technology stack built to revitalise civil society.
The job:
You will design and implement liblogos, a modular plugin runtime for decentralised nodes, while optimising IPC, strengthening module isolation, fault-tolerance, scalability, and security. You will also collaborate with teams to build and test modules, like our Logos blockchain, messaging and storage modules.
Responsibilities:
- Help design and implement liblogos, which provides a modular plugin-based runtime for decentralized nodes and applications.
- Optimize IPC performance.
- Improve isolation (also in regards to efficiency), fault tolerance, independent scalability, and secure boundaries of modules to prevent cross-module vulnerabilities.
- Collaborate with component teams to build and test modules like decentralised nodes.
You ideally have:
- Proficiency in systems programming languages including C, C++, Rust, and Nim.
- Experience with plugin architectures, dynamic loading, and package managers for modular runtime systems.
- Strong understanding of microkernel principles: minimal core, service isolation, fault tolerance, and extensibility without core modifications.
- Experience with Linux namespaces and cgroups for process isolation, containerization techniques, and achieving microkernel-style separation in user-space environments.
- Knowledge of IPC optimization, and low-level performance tuning in multi-process environments.
- Experience in network programming.
Bonus points!
- Experience working for an open-source organization.
- Knowledge of type theory and programming language foundations.
- Experience with peer-to-peer technologies, blockchain, or cryptography.
Hiring Process:
- Intro Call with our POps team
- One or two technical interviews
- Home assignment
- Interview with co-founder
Compensation:
We are happy to pay in any mix of fiat/crypto.
