## About the Role

* 5+ years of experience with backend systems languages (i.e. C++, C, Go, Rust)
 * Experience with peer to peer or decentralized networking frameworks

## Description

We are looking for Senior and Staff Engineers to support webAI's initiatives focused on secure, distributed, and resilient AI infrastructure.

Here's where it's tricky. We know decentralized systems and distributed systems have a lot of overlap, but they aren't exactly the same thing. In our opinion decentralized systems have a connotation of trustless environments, and that's the knowledge we are looking for in this role. Taking it a step further of what would be great to have in this role, is experience developing tech that looks more like IPFS, torrents, etc. than blockchain, but we also know a lot of those concepts overlap too.

Responsibilities:

 * Work in backend systems languages to design and implement advanced synchronization and networking systems that enable reliable AI operations across heterogeneous environments, from edge devices to cloud isolated systems, while upholding the highest standards of performance, reliability, and data privacy.
 * Architect robust data synchronization frameworks using content addressable storage, Merkle trees, CRDTs, and erasure coding
 * 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 stakeholders.
 * Maintain rigorous testing, observability, and validation practices to ensure system reliability and compliance readiness.
 * Please note: Development will be done in Rust, and you'll be able to get up to speed on Rust while working with these systems, it is not required
