About The Position

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Runtime 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 world’s fastest, most secure WebAssembly runtime — delivering sub-10 ms cold starts, 1 B+ TPS sustained execution, zero-boilerplate FFI across Rust/Go/Solidity/JS, native zk-proof and FHE opcodes, 1 TB+ secure memory, and seamless GPU/TEE acceleration — becoming the default execution engine for all sovereign dApps, confidential DeFi, and planetary-scale AI inference.

Requirements

8+ years building production WASM runtimes or VM execution engines in Rust
Multiple shipped runtimes achieving ≥100 M ops/sec in production
Hands-on JIT/AOT compilation, FFI binding generation, and secure sandboxing
Deep expertise in Wasmtime, Wasm3, Lucet, or equivalent internals
Proven 10×+ performance wins over baseline WASM implementations

Nice To Haves

Core contributor to Wasmtime, wasm-bindgen, AssemblyScript, or WebAssembly proposals
First-author papers at top programming-languages or systems venues
Patents in WASM security, JIT optimization, or cryptographic runtimes

Responsibilities

Ship production WASM runtime hitting sub-10 ms cold starts and 1 B+ TPS with Cranelift + vectorized JIT
Build autheo-bindgen: zero-boilerplate, 100 % type-safe FFI generation for 5+ languages
Implement native runtime opcodes for zk-proof validation, FHE (CKKS/BFV), and post-quantum signatures
Design 1 TB+ secure linear memory with SGX/TrustZone sealing and remote attestation
Deliver single-command SDKs (Rust/Go/TS/Python) deploying dApps to 10 K+ TPS rollups
Ship GPU-direct WASM execution paths and parallel sandboxing across 10,000+ DePIN nodes
Embed ε=0.5 differential privacy and encrypted memory primitives directly in the runtime
Create VS Code extension + CLI + live playground driving instant developer onboarding
Publish breakthrough runtime + zk/FHE integration results at PLDI, ASPLOS, OOPSLA, SOSP
Keynote at WasmCon 2026 on “1 Billion TPS WASM Runtime with Native Cryptographic Opcodes”
