Job description
knows P2P very well. If you don't have Rust, but heavy backend systems language experience, please go check out the Peer to Peer Systems Engineer job description to see if that's a fit. Along with Rust, this role will also interact with our other languages to integrate our distributed AI technology into complex, security sensitive networks used by government and enterprise customers. Those include Go, Swift, Python and C++, but you are not expected to have experience in these if applying for this role. You will design and implement advanced synchronization and networking systems that enable reliable AI operations across heterogeneous environments, from edge devices to cloud isolated government systems, while upholding the highest standards of performance, reliability, and data privacy. Responsibilities: -Develop and integrate Rust based networking and data synchronization components with systems written in Go, Swift, Python, Java, and C++. -Lead performance tuning, debugging, and optimization of distributed software under resource constrained and intermittent connectivity conditions. -Ensure security first design through threat modeling, secure key management, and integration of cryptographic primitives and protocols. -Collaborate with MLOps, Infrastructure, and Security teams to deploy and integrate AI components in restricted or air gapped systems. -Contribute to cross functional architectural design discussions and documentation for internal and external (public sector) stakeholders. -Maintain rigorous testing, observability, and validation practices to ensure system reliability and compliance readiness. -Minimum of 25% travel expected in this role traveling to client sites Without P2P Experience You Will: -Learn to architect robust data synchronization frameworks using content addressable storage, Merkle trees, CRDTs, and erasure coding
Requirements
Gain experience with data synchronization and distributed consensus techniques, such as Merkle DAGs, CRDTs, and content defined chunking. Qualifications: -3+ years of Rust Experience Why webAI?: At webAI we do our best to live out our core values we have put in place as the foundation on which we operate as a team. We are looking for people who are interested in personifying the same: Truth - that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality; it's not always easy, it's not always pleasant, but we try to live by what reality is so we can accomplish something really cool Ownership - the act, state or right of possessing something; we want you to fully own your responsibilities in this company, and continue to help define what fits in that purview and how we can help you be your best Tenacity - persistent determination; we are really fired up about what we are trying to do here, and would love to have those who are fired up about what they
