About us

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.

About the role:

Flashbots is searching for a Distributed Systems Engineer to lead the design and implementation of our distributed block-building system. This role is ideal for a proactive problem solver with a penchant for deep technical challenges, strong communication skills, and a builder mentality.

You'll be helping contribute to a cutting-edge distributed system, navigating nuanced trade-offs between latency, privacy, fault tolerance, and incentives.

What You’ll Do:

• Contribute to the development and scaling of Flashbots products, specifically TEE Block Builder, SUAVE and SUAPPS.

• Design, build and optimize distributed and fault-tolerant systems

• Develop and refine networking layers and P2P protocols to ensure high performance and reliability.

• Collaborate with the best mechanism design researchers in the industry to build products at the intersection of incentives and distributed systems.

• Maintain and enhance protocol services and developer tools within the Flashbots ecosystem.

• Write and manage technical documentation and diagrams for public and internal use.

• Participate actively in community and partner with leading crypto projects.

• Write high-quality, well-tested code that meets production-grade standards.

Who You Are:

• 4-10 years of hands-on experience in building production-grade distributed systems, skilled in Rust or Go.

• Proven track record in designing scalable, high-throughput architectures.

• Extensive experience in end-to-end testing of consensus or distributed system protocols.

• Strong ability to navigate and optimize the trade-offs between availability, consistency, and latency.

• Deep understanding of fault-tolerant systems, including Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) and other relevant models.

• You have contributed to open-source work/projects or participate in public technical discourse, such as contributing to protocol specifications.

  • Fast-track your application: contact with links to relevant PRs or meaningful public contributions.

• Capable of independently leading projects and unifying cross-functional teams through exceptional communication and collaboration skills.

  • You bias towards finding problems to solve, rather than waiting for issues to pile up.

• Flexible, accountable, and focused on high-impact solutions.

• T-Shaped skills

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Ethereum node clients or adjacent software (indexer, p2p overlay).

• Worked with Solidity or other smart contract languages.

• Experience in modeling distributed systems using libraries like TLA+.

• Strong OSS blockchain projects/contributions in Ethereum projects.

Details that matter

• 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
