Software Engineer
Job Title
Software EngineerJob Description
We are looking for a part-time software engineer to help implement a proof of concept for an experimental decentralized, censorship-resistant networking protocol.
The network architecture and protocol design are already substantially defined. Your job will be to translate that design into a working Python implementation, make implementation-level engineering decisions, and help identify problems that emerge during testing. The objective is a functional proof of concept, not a production-ready implementation.
The work primarily involves Python, peer-to-peer networking, asynchronous/concurrent programming, and applied cryptography.
Experience implementing network protocols, peer-to-peer systems, or distributed systems is a plus but not required.
This is not a cryptocurrency, NFT, or Web3 project.
Approximately 20 hours per week at $20 USD/hour. The initial proof-of-concept effort is expected to last approximately four months.
Restrictions
- No telecommuting
- No Agencies Please
Requirements
- Strong Python programming skills.
- Good understanding of networking and network protocols.
- Familiarity with asynchronous or concurrent programming.
- Working knowledge of applied cryptography and standard cryptographic primitives.
- Ability to independently reason through, implement, and debug systems.
- Use of generative AI or AI coding assistants for project work is not permitted.
