Senior Engineer (Distributed Systems & Rust)

Overview 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.
