Job description
Location Worldwide Remote About Us! Banyan is a startup based in NYC, focused on decentralized storage and generally making the internet less bad. We're massive fans of the local-first software movement.
We are very in favor of people having sovereign ownership over their data- we're rolling usable tech out to normal people to support these technologies getting more market share. Our mission is to put data under the control of the user and push computation and coordination to the edge where possible. We believe this will improve users' experiences and make the internet a better place in many ways.
We're venture backed and have solid runway - about to annouce our series A. We have relationships with a large number of Filecoin miners and are rolling our software out into their datacenters for both Filecoin-based cold storage and custom Banyan hot storage. We feel good about our plans to raise again (soon!).
For now, we're focused on releasing and selling a decentralized, local-first, and encrypted cloud storage product that could rival Dropbox or Backblaze. We're layering in compute as we see demand. After that's selling...
our next steps are pretty ambitious... Think P2P CDNs :). About You!
We are looking for a Senior/Staff Rust Backend Engineer (fully IC role). Our goal is for this hire to be either: a permanent and high-performing IC right hand to our head of engineering (assuming they're more mid-level), or, someone VERY senior with domain-specific expertise, who is capable of gearing up to lead a division of engineering when we diversify our product offerings in 2024. Someone good enough to hire would be autonomous and independent, a top-performing hard worker excited about our mission.
They will have experience with backend eng in Rust, plus understand content-addressing and encryption/authentication basics. Any FAANG background is a huge bonus and so is cloud storage experience. We'd be over the moon about hiring you if you are very senior, very ready to work as hard as we do, and have some CDN, browser, cryptography, payment channels, or low-level low-latency networking experience.
Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable backend and client-side services written in Rust. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features. Ensure code quality, performance, and reliability.
Provide technical leadership, help mentor junior engineers. Work closely with the product and sales/BD people to align on the requirements and constraints of the backend architecture. (seldom) Answer questions to aide teammates in writing technically-informed documents or performing integrations.
Ship high-assurance software! As frequently as possible! Qualifications Must-Have ** 8+ years of experience in backend development.
** Strong proficiency in Rust. Experience with RESTful API design and implementation. Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design.
Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of tasks and projects. Good taste when architecting systems and codebases. ** Independently/internally/personally driven by our mission of making the internet better by breaking up cloud silos.
** You're sure that your previous coworkers would call you a top performer for your career stage. ** You want to work really, really hard on something that really, really matters. Low ego/asshole factor, amicable, passes the proverbial "beer test".
Known to talk back to people in positions of authority when something needs to be changed in order to accomplish the goal. Nice-to-Have/bonuses ** Experience with WebAssembly (WASM) and Rust-WASM, but has done things besides this. Familiarity with decentralized storage technologies like IPFS, Filecoin.
Experience with CDN, browser stacks, cryptography, payment channels, or low-level low-latency networking. Experience with other backend technologies and frameworks. Contributions to open-source projects.
Benefits Competitive/above-market salary and equity. Health, dental, life, and vision insurance. PTO (no fewer than two weeks, no more than four) Flexible work schedule and remote work options.
Working on cool shit with cool people. #J-18808-Ljbffr
