What You Will Do:

• Implement highly-desired new features for HotStuff-rs (e.g. pluggable cryptographic hash function and digital signatures)

• Raise issues on GitHub to report bugs and suggest possible enhancements to the library, as well as contribute to the discussion around issues raised by other developers

• Read cutting-edge papers in systems research, algorithms, and cryptography, extracting insights about how HotStuff-rs could further evolve and improve

• Write technical documentation and tutorials about HotStuff-rs

• Work with other teams in ParallelChain Lab to together integrate the library into the novel solutions they are working on

The Must-Have Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or equivalent knowledge

• Strong skills in a systems programming language (e.g. Rust, C++), or functional programming language (e.g. Haskell, OCaml)

• Solid competency in discrete mathematics, algorithm design and analysis, networking, and applied cryptography

• Strong skills related to open-source software engineering, including testing, GitHub, and CI/CD

Bonus Points If You Possess:

• Some experience writing Rust software

• Some knowledge of consensus algorithms, (e.g. Paxos, Raft, PBFT, or HotStuff itself)

• Experience contributing to an R&D-heavy project
