Description:

The Senior Rust Developer will design and implement high-performance, secure, and scalable peer-to-peer networking protocols in Rust.
This role involves developing distributed systems that enable decentralized AI nodes to communicate and collaborate effectively.
The developer will ensure robust fault-tolerance and resilience in networked systems through testing and optimization.
Collaboration with blockchain engineers, protocol developers, and AI researchers is essential to integrate the network layer with Fortytwo's decentralized AI stack.
The position requires optimizing performance for diverse computing environments, including edge devices and cloud systems.
The developer will also contribute to open-source projects and documentation that advance Fortytwo's mission.

Requirements:

Candidates must have 3+ years of experience in Rust development, focusing on distributed systems or peer-to-peer networking.
A strong understanding of networking protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, WebRTC, and libp2p is required.
Experience in building scalable and resilient distributed systems is essential.
Proficiency in designing systems with security and fault-tolerance in mind is necessary.
Familiarity with decentralized technologies, including blockchain, consensus algorithms, and cryptographic techniques, is required.
Preferred qualifications include experience with WebAssembly (WASM) and cross-platform Rust development.
Familiarity with decentralized AI concepts and swarm intelligence is a plus.
Knowledge of containerization tools (e.g., Docker) and orchestration frameworks (e.g., Kubernetes) is preferred.

Working at Fortytwo offers the opportunity to engage in meaningful AI research, focusing on decentralized inference, multi-agent systems, and efficient model deployment.
Employees will have the chance to build scalable and sustainable AI systems that reduce reliance on massive compute clusters, making advanced models more efficient, accessible, and cost-effective.
The position allows for collaboration with a highly technical team of engineers and researchers who are deeply experienced, intellectually curious, and motivated by solving hard problems.
Fortytwo values individuals who thrive in research-driven environments, offering autonomy and the chance to work on foundational AI challenges.
