Software Engineer P2P - Search Team (100% Remote, Worldwide)

Summary

Tether is a digital finance company developing reserve-backed tokens, blockchain solutions, peer-to-peer technology, and related products. The P2P Search team is building a resilient, decentralized search stack without a centralized index, and seeks software engineers to develop high-performance, concurrent networking and distributed search technology.

Skills

• We're seeking talented software engineers with a passion for P2P, an interest in research but a bias for building, and a deep understanding of some combination of the following:
• Kademlia DHT
• Distributed indexing and the relevant research literature: skip graphs, prefix hash trees, m-LIGHT, locality sensitive hashing
• Distributed databases and CRDTs
• Networking for P2P: TCP/IP, transport-layer connection orientation and reliability models, multiplexing, NAT traversal, encryption
• Classical IR topics and search engine architecture: recall vs. precision, ranking algorithms, lexical vs. semantic search, inverted indices, etc
• Network protocol testing, evaluation, and optimization
• Writing high performance, highly concurrent networking code
• The Holepunch stack: hyperdht, hyperswarm, hypercore, hyperbee, hyperdrive, udx-native
