Description

About us:

Syndica is creating the Cloud of Web3. We supply the most critical applications in Web3 with enterprise-grade RPC infrastructure and developer tools tailored for the Solana ecosystem. Joining our team means you'll be held to a high standard, technically challenged, and grow close to a group of individuals passionate about building new infrastructure technologies.

We are backed by strategic partners, investors, and advisors who are all-in on our mission: Chamath Palihapitiya of Social Capital, Steve Jang of Kindred Ventures, Joe McCann of Asymmetric, Jump Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Solana Ventures, Circle Ventures, and many more.

About you:

  • You are a talented engineer who thrives in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.  

  • You're excited about contributing to the decentralization of blockchain ecosystems.

  • You have 3+ years of related professional experience using Rust (experience in memory-managed languages (Zig/C/C++) is nice to have but not required).

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or relevant experience.


About the role:

As a Senior Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing a high-performance Solana validator client from scratch. 

The team you’d be joining is building a new open-source Solana validator client, Sig, using the Zig programming language. You can find more technical details about the project in the original announcement here.

The role’s primary responsibility will involve understanding the Solana Labs’ validator implementation codebase, written in Rust, and translating, optimizing, and improving the implementation in Zig (take a peek at the current work here!).

Key responsibilities: 

  • Understanding and Communicating Rust Code: mapping and accurately communicating how the existing Rust client works.

  • Writing high-quality code in Zig: translating the Rust code into Zig while maintaining high-quality code, including performance and readability.

  • Performance Research: iteratively analyzing and optimizing software bottlenecks in Zig while leveraging high-performance tools such as SIMD operations to achieve performance requirements.

  • Code Ownership: lead the implementation, benchmarking, and testing of your validator components from start to finish.

  • Collaboration: leveraging strong communication skills to break down complex ideas into simple terms and demonstrating a knack for collaboration across a large group of engineers.

What does success in this role look like?

  • In three months, you have become one of our core Zig developers. You’ll have taken on independent code review responsibilities and are collaborating on the design of new features.

  • In six months, you have earned the trust of the team and are delivering tasks through the entire SDLC, from design through development with minimal guidance, and are helping to effectively mentor new engineers joining the team.

  • In twelve months, you have established a cadence of predictable, on-time delivery without cutting corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
