Software Engineer

The P2P Search team is building a next-gen stack for resilient, decentralized search. We're serious about decentralization -- that means a truly peer-to-peer architecture with no centralized index. It's search without servers -- our technology empowers anyone to spin up a self-organizing, unstoppable search engine for text, pics, chats, locations, or any data you can imagine.

We're seeking talented software engineers with a passion for P2P, an interest in research but a bias for building, and a deep understanding of some combination of the following:

• Kademlia DHT.
• Distributed indexing and the relevant research literature: skip graphs, prefix hash trees, m-LIGHT, locality sensitive hashing.
• Distributed databases and CRDTs.
• Networking for P2P: TCP/IP, transport-layer connection orientation and reliability models, multiplexing, NAT traversal, encryption.
• Classical IR topics and search engine architecture: recall vs. precision, ranking algorithms, lexical vs. semantic search, inverted indices, etc.
• Network protocol testing, evaluation, and optimization.
• Writing high performance, highly concurrent networking code.
• The Holepunch stack: hyperdht, hyperswarm, hypercore, hyperbee, hyperdrive, udx-native.

Our team is a global talent powerhouse, working remotely from every corner of the world. If you have excellent English communication skills and are ready to contribute to the most innovative platform on the planet, the company is the place for you.
