We’ve been venturing into unexplored territory for over a decade, seeking new ways to connect people and amplify their lives. We’re shaping virtual worlds of unprecedented scale for the gaming, web3, and related sectors, creating world-changing technology from Morpheus to M2. With us, you’ll tackle questions that no one else is asking and find answers that define the future.

We are working with the Virtual Society Foundation to design and build the world's highest throughput EVM-based L1 blockchain. We are looking for experienced blockchain protocol engineers to be part of the founding core team, designing and building out our high performance stack.

Your Opportunity:

  • Design and implement our core L1 blockchain protocol.

  • Optimise the core stack, finding and improving our key bottlenecks.

  • Supporting and operating the protocol once it is externally launched.

  • Stay abreast of the latest developments in blockchain technology.

Why You're Made For This:

  • Direct experience building and launching an L1 or L2 blockchain.

  • Strong proficiency in C, C++ or Rust, with professional experience.

  • Experience with developing high-performance software and networked systems.

  • Ability to drive an outcome and unblock yourself and those around you with high productivity.

  • Ability to work independently and in a team environment.

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.

About Us:

We are determined to foster an environment where people can do their best work and feel like they belong. We believe a healthy culture, strong values and contribution from a diverse range of individuals will help us to achieve success.
