Lead Software Engineer

The Company

Cere Network is the decentralized data protocol powering the future of web3 with trustless content sharing and cloud data interactions between apps, users, AI/ML, and (NFT) assets. Cere is backed by the world’s largest institutions and projects, including Binance Labs, Republic Labs, and Polygon.

Role Summary

We are a cutting-edge web3 infrastructure scale-up project seeking a few very talented developers who are not just looking for a job but want to be challenged to accomplish great things in an exciting venture. 

We are the veterans of many successful startups and will put you on the accelerated learning curve toward your future success.

This position requires a great understanding of large-scale distributed computing and web3 technologies. Yet, we are open to talented people with less experience in web3 but have experience building large, robust data solutions and are eager to grow into web3.  

You'll be immediately challenged to take ownership of key development track(s) within one of our innovation squads: 1. Decentralized Data Cloud Squad, 2. Blockchain Squad, 3. Tools, Services & Integrations Squad.

Once placed in a squad, you will own and drive the design, prototyping, testing/implementation (yes, tests are an integral part of implementation), simulating, and CI/CD of key components of our platform in a highly collaborative and iterative manner across squads.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience (preferred 10+) working as a software engineer on storage and distributed systems.
• Extensive programming experience with at least one modern language such as Go, Rust, Typescript, Java or Kotlin.
• In-depth understanding of decentralized systems, blockchain, and web3, as well as system design, data structures, and algorithms.

Nice to have

• Expertise in database engine internals (storage), including indexing, access methods, concurrency control, logging, caching, transaction processing, replication, backup restore, and buffer management.
• Proficiency in database engine internals (query processing), such as query compilation, optimization, execution, and parallel execution.
• Experience with decentralized storage systems like IPFS.
• Experience developing SDKs and contributing to open-source projects.
• Knowledge of distributed systems, including consensus-based quorum replication and NoSQL system implementation.
