Role
Backend Engineer
Description

At O(1) Labs, we are on a mission to drive a new era of applications powered by zero-knowledge cryptography. We are seeking a skilled and enthusiastic engineer to join the O(1) Labs Engineering team. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a close-knit team, work independently on captivating interdisciplinary challenges, and contribute to groundbreaking projects.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain o1js, integrating it with various cryptographic systems and leveraging Mina Protocol.
  • Build and maintain the zkapp-cli, which assists in scaffolding zkApps and offers developer tools for testing and deployment to Mina Protocol.
  • Create and maintain innovative tools to support zkApp development.
  • Understand and address the obstacles encountered by developers in this space.
  • Collaborate with a Product Manager and other engineering teams.
  • Participate in periodic team offsites held globally.

We welcome applications from engineers with diverse skill sets who are motivated to tackle novel problems in challenging areas. Proficiency in TypeScript or at least JavaScript is essential, with additional interest or expertise in functional programming, cryptography/blockchains, zero-knowledge proof systems, low-level performance optimizations, distributed systems, and conference speaking viewed favorably. While a strong foundation in TypeScript is a prerequisite, we value an individual's unique background and skills over specific requirements.

About the Company:

O(1) Labs comprises the team behind the incubation, launch, and development of Mina Protocol, a Layer 1 blockchain that drastically reduces blockchain size and remains scalable and decentralized, empowered by zero-knowledge technology. Through Mina and zk tech, we are at the forefront of constructing a privacy-focused Web 3.0.

Our pursuit aims to reshape societal systems, guided by a commitment to integrating diverse perspectives at every stage of innovation.

I am seeking a world-class Systems Engineer / Rust Architect to build a proprietary asset extraction engine on the Solana network. This is not a "Web3 App" or a "DEX UI." This is a purely backend, low-latency machine designed to capture micro-value from market volatility.​The system mimics a "digital sluice," using high-precision math to harvest fractional differences that standard rounded-math bots ignore. We are scaling from a prototype to a 30-node distributed network managing 100+ concurrent execution "hands."​Core Technical Requirements​Low-Level Rust Mastery: You must be an expert in the Tokio runtime, asynchronous programming, and memory-safe mathematical operations.​Solana Network Physics: Deep understanding of the Sealevel runtime, custom WebSocket/Lumen bridges, and avoiding gRPC bottlenecks.​Jito & MEV Optimization: Proven experience with Jito Bundles, transaction shredding, and tip-optimization to ensure first-block inclusion.​Distributed Orchestration: Ability to architect a master-node system that manages 30+ regional nodes with seamless failover and zero-loss state management.​Precision Math: All logic must operate on u64 integers (Lamports) to avoid floating-point rounding errors. We do not "round" to the dollar; we capture the 9th decimal.​Key Responsibilities​Engine Hardening: Audit and optimize the core Rust logic for 0-latency execution.​Node Orchestration: Build the "Master Switch" to deploy, monitor, and update 30 nodes across global regions simultaneously.​The "Tax" Logic: Implement a secure, automated "sweeper" protocol that collects fractional value from all child-nodes into a master treasury without interrupting execution.​Redundancy: Ensure the system is "Anti-Fragile"—if a validator or node fails, the 50-drop safety protocol must trigger an instant failover.
