Part time

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.
