About The Position

We’re offering a unique opportunity to join Launch Legends (and Autheo) as a part-time Equity Cofounder . Founded nearly four years ago, Launch Legends is at the forefront of bridging Web3 blockchain technology with the next evolution of Web2 integration—bringing businesses on-chain through enterprise-grade solutions, DePIN innovations, and decentralized financial infrastructure. Our flagship project, Autheo , is an AI enabled Layer-Zero OS with an integrated Layer-1 blockchain and complete decentralized infrastructure thast includes decentralized compute, storage, identity, and service marketplaces, as well as a Full-stack development enveronment (DevHub)—engineered for scalable enterprise adoption, developer innovation, and real-world blockchain integration.

Autheo is building a high-performance blockchain platform delivering 1B+ TPS, 200GB/s DePIN data flows, and secure execution with sub-microsecond speeds and robust encryption. As a part-time Senior Golang Engineer in an equity-based cofounder role, you’ll develop scalable backend services using Go’s concurrency model for WebAssembly (WASM) runtimes, powering privacy-preserving smart contracts, DePIN compute tasks, and dApp deployments. This role is critical to surpassing Ethereum’s EVM and Solana’s SVM by embedding cryptography, homomorphic encryption, and zero-knowledge proofs for 0.4μs computations. If you’re passionate about Go concurrency and resilient systems, join us to shape the backend for the next trillion-dollar decentralized economy.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science or equivalent.
• 5+ years in blockchain backend engineering (1M+ TPS systems).
• Production experience with Go, GraphQL/gRPC, Kafka.
• Proven success with zk-proofs or distributed transactions.
• Expertise in Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and compliance auditing.
• Precision in systems design and performance optimization.
• Strong technical communication and cross-team collaboration.
• Passion for scalable Web3 ecosystems and developer empowerment.

Nice To Haves

• Background in DeFi or healthcare-compliant backends.
• Experience with multi-language SDKs or open-source Go tooling.
• Contributions to blockchain standards or Go-related patents.

Responsibilities

• Backend Service Architecture Build Go-based services for cryptographic operations with 0.4μs responses at 1B+ TPS. Implement DAG-based concurrency for workflow execution with zero overhead. Design secure pipelines with homomorphic encryption for blockchain/DePIN data.
• Secure Execution Layers Develop zk-proof services generating 1-5ms proofs for runtime integration. Implement differential privacy (ε=0.5) for DePIN metadata protection. Build secure enclave services for 1TB memory deployments.
• Cross-Chain Integration Create GraphQL/gRPC APIs for cross-chain operations with sub-50ms latency. Apply saga patterns for transaction consistency across blockchains. Design webhook systems for <50ms event delivery to 10M+ dApp endpoints.
• AI-Driven Optimization Build ML-driven load balancers optimizing 200GB/s flows (95% accuracy). Develop predictive scaling for transaction spikes 24+ hours in advance. Integrate GenAI for automated API schema generation.
• Compliance & Governance Embed GDPR/CCPA/HIPAA-compliant routing with audit logging. Implement $THEO token-based governance for backend upgrades. Generate zk-proof audit trails for SOC 2 Type II/HITRUST certification.
• Backend Reliability Deploy to Kubernetes with 99.999% uptime using circuit breakers. Implement OpenTelemetry tracing for 100% transaction paths (<15min MTTR). Build ML-based monitoring for resource optimization.
• Developer Ecosystem Deliver SDKs (Go/JS) for single-command backend operations. Build self-service consoles for API deployment in <5 minutes. Design sandbox environments for rapid developer testing.
• Leadership & Innovation Collaborate with blockchain, AI/ML, and security teams for API integration. Lead backend architecture reviews for scalability and security. Mentor engineers and contribute to open-source Go components. Publish at GoLab/Web3 Summit on backend innovations.
