Nomos was created by Logos to be the infrastructure facilitating the creation of network states and enabling people to easily interact with them. Using Nomos, network states are implemented as lightweight blockchains known as Zones, with an underlying chain providing consensus, security, and interoperability. Importantly, network states implemented on Nomos allow for social order to emerge and govern their operations, all while preserving critical properties that guarantee individual freedoms for all participants. These include privacy for users and infrastructure providers, censorship resistance, resilience against attacks, and credible neutrality.

To join Nomos's team, we are looking for a SENIOR Engineer with strong Rust & P2P experience.

Responsibilities:

Implement and optimise decentralised P2P protocols for network infrastructure
Build production-level P2P network components based on technical specifications
Develop proof-of-concepts for peer-to-peer communication layers
Engineer resilient distributed systems for Byzantine fault-tolerant environments
Analyse and optimise real-world P2P network performance (latency, throughput, node scalability)
Maintain and enhance Rust-based P2P networking stack

Requirements:

Solid experience in Rust (non-negotiable!)
Proven P2P engineering experience: Implementation of peer discovery, data propagation, or network topologies; & building decentralised systems in Byzantine environments
Ability to operationalise P2P research into production code
Proven Distributed Systems experience: Strong knowledge of consensus mechanisms, distributed storage, or gossip protocols; & performance tuning of large-scale node networks
Computer Science/Math fundamentals (cryptography, algorithms, networking)
Strong technical communication (code documentation, system diagrams)
Strong interest in privacy-preserving, censorship-resistant and open protocols

Bonus Points:

Proven experience with: DHTs, gossip protocols, BFT consensus, or P2P network resilience techniques.
