Peer to Peer Software Engineer

webAI

About The Position

webAI is seeking Senior and Staff Engineers to contribute to its initiatives focused on secure, distributed, and resilient AI infrastructure. The role requires expertise in decentralized systems, similar to IPFS or torrents, rather than blockchain, with a focus on trustless environments. The engineers will design and implement advanced synchronization and networking systems for reliable AI operations across diverse environments, from edge devices to isolated cloud systems, ensuring high standards of performance, reliability, and data privacy.

Requirements

5+ year of experience with backend systems languages (i.e. C++, C, Go, Rust)
Experience with peer to peer or decentralized networking frameworks

Nice To Haves

Experience developing tech that looks more like IPFS, torrents, etc. than blockchain
Ability to get up to speed on Rust while working with these systems

Responsibilities

Work in backend systems languages to design and implement advanced synchronization and networking systems that enable reliable AI operations across heterogeneous environments, from edge devices to cloud isolated systems, while upholding the highest standards of performance, reliability, and data privacy.
Architect robust data synchronization frameworks using content addressable storage, Merkle trees, CRDTs, and erasure coding.
Lead performance tuning, debugging, and optimization of distributed software under resource constrained and intermittent connectivity conditions.
Ensure security first design through threat modeling, secure key management, and integration of cryptographic primitives and protocols.
Collaborate with MLOps, Infrastructure, and Security teams to deploy and integrate AI components in restricted or air gapped systems.
Contribute to cross functional architectural design discussions and documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
Maintain rigorous testing, observability, and validation practices to ensure system reliability and compliance readiness.
