Job description

We\u2019re building a next-generation blockchain tailored specifically for AI agents\u2014combining zkVM-based verifiable execution with a high-performance node network and smart-contract layer. You\u2019ll drive protocol design, Rust-centric infrastructure development, and backend engineering optimizations to support multi-agent AI architectures at scale., * Design and implement core blockchain protocols with zkVM integration for verifiable AI agent execution.

  • Define smart-contract standards and on-chain agent interfaces (analogous to EVM ABIs).
  • Node & Network Infrastructure
  • Build and optimize high-throughput, low-latency node software in Rust.
  • Architect P2P networking, consensus mechanisms, and state synchronization tailored for AI workloads.
  • Smart Contract & Agent Integration
  • Develop and audit smart contracts for agent registration, staking, and on-chain governance.
  • Integrate multi-agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., CrewAI, MCP) into the blockchain runtime.
  • Create backend services and APIs (REST / GraphQL) to interact with nodes and agents.
  • Implement monitoring, observability, and analytics pipelines to track chain and agent performance.
  • Partner with AI engineers to optimize gas models, transaction batching, and resource metering for agentic use cases.
  • Research emerging Web3 and zero-knowledge technologies to keep our stack cutting-edge.

Requirements

  • Blockchain Engineering : 5+ years building or auditing blockchain protocols, smart contracts, or node infrastructure.

  • Rust Expertise : Deep practical experience writing and maintaining large-scale Rust applications.

  • zkVM / ZK Rollups : Hands-on with zero-knowledge VM design or implementation (e.g., zkEVM, zkWASM).

  • Smart Contracts : Solidity or ink! proficiency; familiar with security best practices and gas optimization.

  • Backend Systems : Strong background in backend engineering (Node.js, Go, or Python); building scalable APIs and services.

  • Distributed Systems : In-depth understanding of consensus algorithms, P2P networking, and state replication.

  • Web3 Ecosystem : Proven track record working in decentralized environments; familiarity with staking, governance, token economics.

  • AI Agent Experience : Solid grasp of multi-agent systems, agent orchestration, or integrating AI workloads with on-chain logic. Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with CrewAI, A2A protocols, or MCP server development.

  • Familiarity with on-chain verifiable computation frameworks and trusted execution environments (TEEs).

  • Background in building RAG frameworks, vector search, or other AI-powered data services.

  • Contributions to open-source blockchain or zero-knowledge projects. Soft Skills

  • Problem Solver : Thrives in ambiguous environments and independently drives solutions.

  • Communicator : Clearly articulates complex blockchain and AI topics to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Collaborator : Values teamwork and contributes to a culture of shared ownership.

  • Learner : Passionate about staying current with Web3, ZK research, and AI advancements.
