Nexus is on a mission to enable the Verifiable Internet by building the world’s most powerful distributed supercomputer. Our team of leading mathematicians, engineers, and cryptographers is dedicated to developing next-generation secure and scalable technologies, such as the Nexus zkVM, to ensure the accuracy of AI and support advanced computational tasks. By partnering with Nexus, individuals and organizations can contribute to this innovative ecosystem and help shape the future of computation.

📋 Description

• Architect and implement the distributed infrastructure powering Nexus’s L1 blockchain and high-performance DEX. • Optimize consensus and transaction pipelines for speed, determinism, fairness, and low latency. • Build secure, production-grade systems that meet the performance requirements of modern financial exchanges. • Develop and maintain high-availability, fault-tolerant infrastructure across cloud and distributed environments. • Offer best practices for reliability, observability, performance engineering, and secure operations.

🎯 Requirements

• 6–10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in infrastructure or distributed systems roles. • Strong programming experience in Rust (preferred), Go, or another systems language. • Deep expertise in low-latency, high-throughput, or distributed systems (HFT, exchanges, runtimes, consensus systems, etc.). • Hands-on experience with container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes and Docker. • Experience building and maintaining observability systems, including metrics, tracing, and logging frameworks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry). • Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation. • Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, compute, security, and distributed workloads. • Ability to design and operate secure, fault-tolerant, production-grade infrastructure. • Excellent written and spoken Business English.

🏖️ Benefits

• Build the distributed infrastructure behind a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain and global DEX. • Work on systems where infrastructure performance directly shapes the end-to-end trading experience. • Collaborate with top engineers in AI, cryptography, runtime systems, and distributed consensus. • Shape primitives and infrastructure designed for long-term correctness, performance, and global scale. • Join a high-performance engineering culture where deep technical work is valued and expected.
