Role: Senior Rust Engineer

Autheo is building a high-performance blockchain platform delivering 1B+ TPS, 200GB/s DePIN data flows, and secure execution with sub-microsecond speeds and robust encryption.

As a part-time Senior Rust Engineer in an equity-based cofounder role, you’ll develop memory-safe backend components using Rust’s ownership model for WebAssembly (WASM) runtimes, powering privacy-preserving smart contracts, DePIN compute tasks, and dApp deployments. This role is critical to surpassing Ethereum’s EVM and Solana’s SVM by embedding cryptography, homomorphic encryption, and zero-knowledge proofs for 0.4μs computations. If you’re passionate about Rust’s safety and Web3 innovation, join us to shape the backend for the next trillion-dollar decentralized economy.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Backend Component Design

   * Build Rust-based modules for cryptographic operations with 0.4μs responses at 1B+ TPS.

   * Implement DAG-based structures for workflow execution with zero overhead.

   * Design secure pipelines with homomorphic encryption for blockchain/DePIN data.

2. Secure Execution Layers

   * Develop zk-proof libraries generating 1-5ms proofs for runtime integration.

   * Implement differential privacy (ε=0.5) for DePIN metadata protection.

   * Build secure enclave modules for 1TB memory deployments.

3. Cross-Chain Integration

   * Create GraphQL/gRPC APIs for cross-chain operations with sub-50ms latency.

   * Apply saga patterns for transaction consistency across blockchains.

   * Design webhook systems for <50ms event delivery to 10M+ dApp endpoints.

4. AI-Driven Optimization

   * Build ML-driven load balancers optimizing 200GB/s flows (95% accuracy).

   * Develop predictive scaling for transaction spikes 24+ hours in advance.

   * Integrate GenAI for automated API schema generation.

5. Compliance & Governance

   * Embed GDPR/CCPA/HIPAA-compliant routing with audit logging.

   * Implement $THEO token-based governance for backend upgrades.

   * Generate zk-proof audit trails for SOC 2 Type II/HITRUST certification.

6. Backend Reliability

   * Deploy to Kubernetes with 99.999% uptime using circuit breakers.

   * Implement OpenTelemetry tracing for 100% transaction paths (<15min MTTR).

   * Build ML-based monitoring for resource optimization.

7. Developer Ecosystem

   * Deliver SDKs (Rust/JS) for single-command backend operations.

   * Build self-service consoles for API deployment in <5 minutes.

   * Design sandbox environments for rapid developer testing.

8. Leadership & Innovation

   * Collaborate with blockchain, AI/ML, and security teams for API integration.

   * Lead backend architecture reviews for scalability and security.
