About Unto Labs

Unto Labs is a team of low-level engineers pushing distributed systems to the physical limits of modern hardware. We're reimagining blockchains, from core consensus primitives to performance-tuned networking stacks, in the service of global scale applications.

About The Role

We're seeking a Systems Engineering Intern to take on the toughest challenges in distributed, high-performance computing. You'll be responsible for designing and building key parts of a base-layer blockchain, focused on juicing every last ounce of performance from commodity hardware. As a member of our fast-paced team, you'll work across the entire modern blockchain stack, including cryptography, consensus, distributed systems, and core kernels.

Responsibilities

  • Design systems for robust process isolation
  • Build and test high-performance sub-systems from scratch in C, focusing on cryptographic operations, consensus mechanisms, and networking
  • Implement advanced error correction and data recovery mechanisms
  • Build and contribute to a suite of custom benchmarking and performance testing tools

Qualifications

  • Deep expertise in systems programming languages (C, C++, Rust) with a focus on performance optimization
  • Experience and understanding of modern CPU architectures, memory hierarchies, and low-level optimization techniques
  • Expertise in high-performance networking and protocol design
  • Understanding of distributed systems and consensus algorithms

    • Why Join Us?

  • Be at the forefront of blockchain technology, working on next-generation performance optimization, on a small, fast-moving, tight-knit team
  • Work with a team of experts with deep expertise in high-frequency trading and scaling developer ecosystems
  • Shape the architecture of a system designed to process millions of transactions per second
  • Access to cutting-edge hardware and development tools

    • Compensation And Benefits

  • Competitive compensation ($180k-$250k+ USD annualized) adjusted for internship length
  • Flexible work environment
  • Hardware and development tool allowance
