Job Description

An NYC startup is hiring a Founding Engineer to help architect a new L1 blockchain from the ground up.

Backed by top funds, they've raised over $5m and built a tight-knit team of engineers and researchers. The chain is custom-built around trusted hardware, using familiar tooling but restructured for private-by-default execution.

As a Founding Engineer, you will:

  • Design and implement core protocol logic in Rust
  • Work across execution, consensus, and networking
  • Improve developer experience while maintaining low-level performance
  • Shape engineering direction and culture from day one

They're looking for a Founding Engineer who:

  • Has strong Rust skills (C/C++ background also welcome)
  • Brings deep systems-level engineering experience
  • Has worked in a startup or small team before
  • Knows the EVM stack
  • Is NYC-based or open to relocating (relocation support included)

This is a rare chance to join early, own foundational code, and build a real protocol from scratch.

Base comp is $180k–$200k + equity. On-site only. $10k relocation assistance is available.

If you're excited by systems problems and early-stage energy, APPLY NOW!
