\nAbout Protocol Labs\n\nProtocol Labs drives breakthroughs in computing to push humanity forward. Protocol Labs is a product-development lab, but behind the protocols and tools we build, behind the research and implementations, are passionate people, teammates, and community members. Most teams in the Protocol Labs Network are fully distributed and work remotely around the world. Engineers, researchers, and operators work in the open to improve the internet — humanity's most important technology — as we explore new advances at the intersection of many exciting fields (web3, cryptography, networks, distributed systems) and cultures (startups, research, open-source, distributed work).\nAbout Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM)\n\nThe Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) project (https://fvm.filecoin.io/) seeks an extraordinary Sr. Software Engineer.  FVM launched on March 14 2023, bringing user-programmability to the Filecoin network. FVM currently supports EVM smart contracts and works seamlessly with Ethereum tooling.  2 months after launch, there is already a thriving ecosystem of storage-oriented dapps, DeFi, bridges and more. This is just the beginning! At the moment the team is laser-focused on handling the new scale and unlocking new applications.  Next milestones will enable user-defined WASM actors, support for new runtimes and much more. You will play a key role in all of that.\n\nWe are looking for people who understand the core principles of operating systems, untrusted code execution, resource management, and distributed systems. You will understand, implement and improve a best-in-class blockchain VM built on-top-of WebAssembly, help us design and build open-source code, and ensure that the system is easy to get started with for smart contract developers. You will also help design and implement native FVM interoperability with other chains, as well as developer tooling and SDKs to make the FVM developer journey highly productive and enjoyable.\n\nWhat is Engineering and Research at Protocol Labs\n\nAt Protocol Labs, we translate theory into reality. We take on the most challenging problems that block the adoption of planetary-scale decentralized technologies. Our approach is both pragmatic, rigorous, and must have well-defined, scoped, and measurable milestones. We also interface with many other teams and open source projects, ensuring that we take the best path to get technology into the hands of most people, whether we have invented it or not.\n\nOur philosophy means you will be able to execute in a rich and fertile ground for ideation and prototyping, with the launchpad for shipping those new ideas into reality, testing them in real-world scenarios, and creating maximum impact for the research performed.\n\nBringing programmabile execution to blockchains is the next evolution of distributed systems. When users can both request and deploy arbitrary programs in a verifiable way, they will be able to use new paradigms with the efficiency and reliability of a globally distributed network. Like Filecoin, we will stand on the shoulders of the giants before us and extend the best-in-class tools to new areas. But we cannot merely be great technically; success will hinge on marrying cutting-edge research with the table stakes of a clean API, well-designed SDK, and intelligent contracts that meet users where they are.

Engineers, researchers, and operators work in the open to improve the internet — humanity's most important technology — as we explore new advances at the intersection of many exciting fields (web3, cryptography, networks, distributed systems) and cultures (startups, research, open-source, distributed work).\nAbout Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM)\n\nThe Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) project (https://fvm.filecoin.io/) seeks an extraordinary Sr. Software Engineer.  FVM launched on March 14 2023, bringing user-programmability to the Filecoin network. FVM currently supports EVM smart contracts and works seamlessly with Ethereum tooling.  2 months after launch, there is already a thriving ecosystem of storage-oriented dapps, DeFi, bridges and more. This is just the beginning! At the moment the team is laser-focused on handling the new scale and unlocking new applications.  Next milestones will enable user-defined WASM actors, support for new runtimes and much more. You will play a key role in all of that.\n\nWe are looking for people who understand the core principles of operating systems, untrusted code execution, resource management, and distributed systems. You will understand, implement and improve a best-in-class blockchain VM built on-top-of WebAssembly, help us design and build open-source code, and ensure that the system is easy to get started with for smart contract developers. You will also help design and implement native FVM interoperability with other chains, as well as developer tooling and SDKs to make the FVM developer journey highly productive and enjoyable.\n\nWhat is Engineering and Research at Protocol Labs\n\nAt Protocol Labs, we translate theory into reality. We take on the most challenging problems that block the adoption of planetary-scale decentralized technologies. Our approach is both pragmatic, rigorous, and must have well-defined, scoped, and measurable milestones. We also interface with many other teams and open source projects, ensuring that we take the best path to get technology into the hands of most people, whether we have invented it or not.\n\nOur philosophy means you will be able to execute in a rich and fertile ground for ideation and prototyping, with the launchpad for shipping those new ideas into reality, testing them in real-world scenarios, and creating maximum impact for the research performed.\n\nBringing programmabile execution to blockchains is the next evolution of distributed systems. When users can both request and deploy arbitrary programs in a verifiable way, they will be able to use new paradigms with the efficiency and reliability of a globally distributed network. Like Filecoin, we will stand on the shoulders of the giants before us and extend the best-in-class tools to new areas. But we cannot merely be great technically; success will hinge on marrying cutting-edge research with the table stakes of a clean API, well-designed SDK, and intelligent contracts that meet users where they are. Our success will transform the way entire classes of problems are solved. We would love you to be a part of our vision.\n\nAs an FVM Software Engineer at Protocol Labs you will…\n\n\nDevelop and ship the first smart contract implementation that operates on the Filecoin chain 🚀\n\nDefine compatibility with and support for existing smart contract execution tool chains and implementations such as EVM and Solidity\n\nCollaborate with other Filecoin engineering and ecosystem teams, to ensure integration with  existing systems as well as contribute to other projects to support FVM\n\nCreate or maintain software libraries and programs depended on by other systems and applications\n\nPartner with peer developer advocates to support the developer community when complex issues arise\n\nQuantify performance, security, and other properties of existing and proposed systems; suggest improvements based on the data\n\nPartner with academia and the broader community in exploring new and out-of-the-box approaches to designing and implementing next-generation decentralized systems\n\nWork in a fully remote and asynchronous team\n\n\n\n\nYou may be a fit for this role if you have…\n\n\nBSc degree in Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience (though a “traditional” education or degree is NOT required)\n\n\nProgramming experience and proficiency with Rust is ideal, but programming experience in one or more of the following is required: Go, C, C++, Rust, Java, or similar.\n\n\nExperience building a low-level untrusted code environment - like browser or WASM contexts - where you have to manage & account for resource usage.\n\nAbility to analyze, criticize, and improve the design of complex computation systems.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills.\n\nPragmatic “get it done” attitude and the ability  to provide and receive constructive feedback.\n\n\n\n\nBonus Points...\n\n\nYou have a record of demonstrating state-of-the-art innovation in distributed systems and/or process virtual machines (e.g. Wasmtime, v8, JVM)  with a proven publication record or project history.
