Summary

Conduit is looking for experienced Rust engineers to work on Reth, the Ethereum execution client written in Rust. You’ll play a critical role in extending, customizing, and maintaining Reth for our platform and portfolio companies. This is a highly impactful position for engineers who love Rust, care deeply about Ethereum’s execution layer, and want to push the boundaries of performance and scalability.

You’ll be the dedicated owner of Reth work within Conduit, collaborating closely with our backend team and technical leads. This means you’ll both contribute upstream to Reth and build production-grade customizations that make it easier for Conduit’s customers to launch and scale rollups.

Responsibilities

1. Design, build, and extend Reth-based execution clients for Conduit and our customers
2. Contribute meaningfully to the Reth codebase and ecosystem (PRs, SDKs, libraries).
3. Own customization projects to adapt Reth for different customer use cases, including integrations with our internal coud infrastructure and other execution-layer tooling.
4. Build production-grade developer tooling for teams deploying and operating Reth-based infrastructure.
5. Debug and optimize performance, memory, and networking issues in Rust-based distributed systems.
6. Collaborate closely with backend engineers to align on architecture, APIs, and long-term strategy.
7. Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions.

Qualifications

Must Have:

1. 3–5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
2. Strong proficiency in Rust and a track record of shipping production systems.
3. Demonstrated contributions to Reth (meaningful PRs, SDK integrations, or related libraries).
4. Strong understanding of Ethereum execution layer internals (EVM, nodes, debuggers, tracers).
5. Ability to work independently and own end-to-end projects.

Nice to Have:

1. Experience with Golang or other backend systems languages.
2. Prior experience in L2s, rollups, or crypto infrastructure projects.
3. Contributions to related ecosystems
