Company
Alt Research is the company building and maintaining the AltLayer Network — an elastic scaling layer for all blockchains. AltLayer equips both EVM (e.g., Ethereum) and non-EVM chains (e.g., Polkadot) with an on-demand execution layer that can handle large surge in transaction processing requests. AltLayer enables dApp developers to quickly spin off a custom execution layer called flash layer to serve users, with near-instant finality (<2s), low gas fees (<0.01USD) and high throughput (~2,000 tps).
The project is being developed by blockchain veterans and award-winning researchers, who have previously held key roles at Parity, Zilliqa and Synthetix.
Role
We are looking for top talents to join our fast-growing team to build a scalable future for blockchains. We are currently looking for a self-driven and experienced Senior Rust Developer to build the core technology that powers the AltLayer Network. We are based in Singapore but remote working is also acceptable.

- Perform design reviews and code reviews regularly.
- Create technical specifications and documentation.
Requirements
- Over 5 years of experience in software development.
- Proficiency in system programming (Rust/Modern C++) and scripting (Shell/Python).
- Prior experience in implementing core protocol for blockchains is a must.
- Familiarity with Ethereum, EVM execution, and Solidity is a plus.
- Familiarity with non-EVM chains (e.g., Polkadot) is a plus.
Benefits
