Job Description
Logos is a movement supporting the development of the decentralised web. Logos technologies lay the foundations for a freer internet upon which communities can evolve into network states. Each protocol in the Logos stack seeks to empower its users while upholding civil liberties and fundamental freedoms.
Nomos was created by Logos to be the infrastructure facilitating the creation of network states and enabling people to easily interact with them. Using Nomos, network states are implemented as lightweight blockchains known as Zones, with an underlying chain providing consensus, security, and interoperability. Importantly, network states implemented on Nomos allow for social order to emerge and govern their operations, all while preserving critical properties that guarantee individual freedoms for all participants. These include privacy for users and infrastructure providers, censorship resistance, resilience against attacks, and credible neutrality.
To join Nomos's team, we are looking for a SENIOR Engineer with strong Rust & P2P experience.
Responsibilities:
- Implement and optimise decentralised P2P protocols for network infrastructure
- Build production-level P2P network components based on technical specifications
- Develop proof-of-concepts for peer-to-peer communication layers
- Engineer resilient distributed systems for Byzantine fault-tolerant environments
- Analyse and optimise real-world P2P network performance (latency, throughput, node scalability)
- Maintain and enhance Rust-based P2P networking stack
Requirements:
- Solid experience in Rust (non-negotiable!)
- Proven P2P engineering experience: Implementation of peer discovery, data propagation, or network topologies; & building decentralised systems in Byzantine environments
- Ability to operationalise P2P research into production code
- Proven Distributed Systems experience: Strong knowledge of consensus mechanisms, distributed storage, or gossip protocols; & performance tuning of large-scale node networks
- Computer Science/Math fundamentals (cryptography, algorithms, networking)
- Strong technical communication (code documentation, system diagrams)
- Strong interest in privacy-preserving, censorship-resistant and open protocols
Bonus Points:
- Proven experience with: DHTs, gossip protocols, BFT consensus, or P2P network resilience techniques.

Safe Remote Job Search Tips
Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
