Flashbots started in 2020 as a research and development organization formed to mitigate the negative externalities and existential risks posed by Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). Since then, we have had an immense impact on the world of crypto through mev-geth, Flashbots Protect, MEV-Boost, MEV-Share, our open research and soon-to-be SUAVE.
Our mission is clear: illuminate, democratize and distribute.
We seek to ensure that the value created on decentralized, public blockchains is transparent and distributed. We do this by conducting cutting-edge research, building mission-critical products, and coordinating a diverse community with competing interests.
Our vibe is irreverent, anarchic, excellent, autonomous. We’re explorers, hackers, builders, thinkers. We are relaxed, composed, and at ease in the world, but beneath our suave exterior, we do not have the time or inclination to be anything but the best.
We are looking for an experienced staff-level engineer to join our Block Building team at Flashbots. In this role you will help build and steer development of our block building infrastructure, from the core builder software to the decentralized network that operates it.
Responsibilities
Optimizing and maintaining our core block building infrastructure, used across L1 and L2
Designing, implementing, and testing new features such as:
Executing user’s transactions according to their preferences
Block building algorithms or orchestrations
Advanced analytics and observability
Contributing to the development of a decentralized network
Contributing to building a culture of engineering excellence
Requirements
Experience in applied programming in Rust, or a similar language with a desire to learn Rust
Experience building complex, high-scale, high-performance software
Experience developing scalable distributed systems
Curious, a desire to learn, and great interpersonal skills
Significantly above market rate equity compensation package
Unlimited PTO with a high level of freedom and autonomy for your work
Attractive health coverage package for US employees
$3000 Yearly budget for your individual learning and development goals
Work alongside the brightest minds in the crypto space
Help save the world by ensuring crypto remains decentralized, permissionless and censorship-resistant
Remote working - work from anywhere in the world
Paid travel - 2 x team on-site in different parts of the world per year plus periodic travel to events
At Flashbots, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability status.
