We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Kafka Engineer to join our pioneering team as an Equity Co-Founder at the forefront of native blockchain execution. At Autheo, we are building the platform that redefines decentralized computation, delivering sub-microsecond execution speeds, billions of transactions per second throughput, and mathematically proven security against adversaries. You will own the planetary-scale encrypted Kafka backbone that moves 200 GB/s+ of blockchain events, DePIN telemetry, cross-chain messages, and agentic AI triggers — delivering 0.4 μs per-message processing at 1 B+ EPS with full FHE, zk-proof provenance, and ε=0.5 differential privacy across 10,000+ global brokers.

  • Design and operate Kafka clusters sustaining 1 B+ events/sec at <0.4 μs p99 latency
  • Build DAG-based stream topologies with exactly-once semantics and zero reprocessing
  • Embed CKKS/BFV fully homomorphic encryption enabling processing on fully encrypted events
  • Implement zk-proof event provenance verifying 1–5 ms integrity for every message
  • Deploy dynamic partition sharding across 10,000+ brokers with instant rebalancing
  • Integrate SGX / TrustZone enclaves for 1 TB-scale encrypted log segments with remote attestation
  • Ship 80 % event compression while preserving post-quantum security
  • Deliver zero-config Kafka SDKs (Rust/Go/Java) with built-in encryption and proof generation
  • Drive GPU-accelerated parallel stream processing and AI-driven consumer lag prediction
  • Publish encrypted streaming and zk-event breakthroughs at Kafka Summit, SIGMOD, SOSP
  • Keynote at Kafka Summit 2026 on “1 Billion Encrypted Events/sec at Sub-Microsecond Latency”
  • 8+ years operating production Kafka clusters at ≥100 M EPS scale
  • Multiple deployments achieving ≥500 M EPS with <1 ms p99 latency
  • Hands-on FHE or zk-proof integration into Kafka Streams / ksqlDB
  • Deep expertise in tiered storage, KRaft, exactly-once semantics, and multi-region replication
  • Proven operation of 5,000+ broker fleets
  • Core contributor to Apache Kafka, Confluent, or WarpStream
  • First-author papers at top data or systems venues
  • Patents in encrypted streaming, zk-event proofs, or stream sharding
