About The Position

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Engineer – Networking / P2P in United States.
In this role, you will strengthen and evolve the peer-to-peer networking layer of a large-scale, production-grade blockchain infrastructure. You will work on complex distributed systems challenges, improving network stability, connectivity, and performance across globally deployed clients. Collaborating with a high-caliber, fully remote engineering team, you will take ownership of diagnosing and resolving deep technical issues impacting real-time systems. This position offers the opportunity to influence architectural decisions, optimize network topology, and support the next phase of platform growth. You will operate in a highly technical, fast-moving environment where reliability, resilience, and scalability are critical. If you enjoy low-level systems engineering and thrive in solving complex networking problems, this role offers strong ownership and technical impact.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in systems, infrastructure, or backend engineering, ideally within distributed systems or blockchain environments.
• Strong expertise in Go (Golang) and deep knowledge of networking concepts, libraries, protocols (TCP/UDP), and debugging tools.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex issues in live production systems with strong ownership and accountability.
• Hands-on experience working on peer-to-peer protocols, low-level networking components, or infrastructure platforms.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with comfort operating in asynchronous, distributed teams.

Nice To Haves

• Prior blockchain infrastructure experience
• Familiarity with Ethereum-based systems
• Exposure to multiple client implementations and consensus protocols.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize peer-to-peer networking components across multiple production-grade clients.
• Analyze and enhance network stability by identifying peering bottlenecks, protocol edge cases, and propagation inefficiencies.
• Investigate incidents and lead root cause analysis related to network partitions, peer discovery failures, and gossip performance issues.
• Collaborate closely with protocol, infrastructure, and systems engineering teams to align client behavior with network performance goals.
• Contribute to architectural discussions, documentation, and best practices around networking layers and system resilience.
• Continuously monitor emerging trends and technologies in distributed systems and peer-to-peer infrastructure to drive innovation.

Benefits

• Fully remote, global-first work environment.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision healthcare coverage, depending on country and plan.
• Company-matched retirement plan where applicable.
• Home office setup allowance and monthly internet or phone reimbursement.
• Flexible time-off policy supporting work-life balance.
• Company-issued laptop and modern work equipment.
• Mental health support, wellness programs, and family-focused benefits.
