Summary

You will design and implement liblogos, a modular plugin runtime for decentralised nodes, while optimising IPC, strengthening module isolation, fault-tolerance, scalability, and security. You will also collaborate with teams to build and test modules, like our Logos blockchain, messaging and storage modules.

Responsibilities:

1. Help design and implement liblogos, which provides a modular plugin-based runtime for decentralized nodes and applications.
2. Optimize IPC performance.
3. Improve isolation (also in regards to efficiency), fault tolerance, independent scalability, and secure boundaries of modules to prevent cross-module vulnerabilities.
4. Collaborate with component teams to build and test modules like decentralised nodes.

You ideally have: 

1. Proficiency in systems programming languages including C, C++, Rust, and Nim.
2. Experience with plugin architectures, dynamic loading, and package managers for modular runtime systems.
3. Strong understanding of microkernel principles: minimal core, service isolation, fault tolerance, and extensibility without core modifications.
4. Experience with Linux namespaces and cgroups for process isolation, containerization techniques, and achieving microkernel-style separation in user-space environments.
5. Knowledge of IPC optimization, and low-level performance tuning in multi-process environments.
6. Experience in network programming.

Bonus points!

1. Experience working for an open-source organization.
2. Knowledge of type theory and programming language foundations.
3. Experience with peer-to-peer technologies, blockchain, or cryptography.
