Senior JavaScript developer with Libp2p, IPFS experience

The ideal candidate is a senior developer who is a self-starter and takes ownership of the tasks. He will be responsible to work with the team to develop a set of protocols based on Libp2p to act as a decentralized database. A similar project can be OrbitDB.This is a remote position. There might be other incentive packages available based on your expertise as you become part of a novel project in building the next generation of web.
You’ll be working on:

Implementing p2p networking protocols
Further architecture and development of the borg-libp2p implementation https://github.com/functionland/borg
Implement libp2p protocols according to existing specifications
Research and development of new p2p protocols and primitives
Working across teams to help with networking specific needs

You ideally will have:

A passion for decentralization, p2p, and privacy-preserving technology
Strong academic or engineering background
Experience with encryption and key exchange mechanisms
Experience with low level/strongly typed languages (C/C++/Go/Rust or Java/C#). Preferably Go
Experience building networking-heavy applications and p2p networking specifically
Experience implementing with core networking protocols such as Websockets and/or Quic
Familiar with p2p building blocks such as gossiping, routing, and discovery (DHTs), and Nat traversal
Knowledge of database design and implementation, such as PouchDb

Bonus points if:

Experience working remotely
Experience working for an open-source organization
Previous experience with libp2p - preferably as a direct contributor to the codebase or specifications
Or, experience with other off-the-shelf networking stacks such as devp2p

[Don’t worry if you don’t meet all of these criteria, we’d still love to hear from you anyway if you think you’d be a great fit for this role. Just explain to us why in your cover letter].
