ROLE: Senior Platform Backend Engineer
About the Role
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Backend Engineer to join our pioneering team as an Equity Co-Founder at the forefront of native blockchain execution. At Autheo we are building the platform that redefines decentralized computation delivering sub-microsecond execution speeds billions of transactions per second throughput and mathematically proven security against adversaries.
You will own the planetary-scale backend that powers Autheos entire stack: Layer 0/1 state 200 GB/s encrypted DePIN flows cross-chain finality private AI routing and sovereign dApp orchestration all through a unified GraphQL gRPC API layer hitting 10B RPS at sub-1 ms p99 while staying fully post-quantum encrypted and zero-knowledge authorized.
This is the backend that finally replaces AWS/GCP and every Web3 RPC with formal verification autoscaling and built-in regulatory compliance baked into the request path. Youll ship alongside cryptographers consensus researchers WASM runtime leads TEE engineers and DePIN architects to build the unbreakable service mesh that will route the next trillion dollars of sovereign value.
**Key Responsibilities**
Build GraphQL Federation gRPC gateways sustaining 10B RPS at sub-1 ms p99 (Rust/Seastar hot paths)
Ship AI-driven routing & sharding engines (>98 % optimal placement across 5000 services)
Deploy post-quantum service mesh (Kyber Dilithium) with <8 μs overhead and 30 s rotation
Implement zero-knowledge authorization middleware (no metadata leakage)
Deliver exactly-once Kafka/Raft backbone for 100B events/day
Launch cross-chain finality APIs at 5M TPS with Ethereum Solana Cosmos Polkadot Autheo L1
Federate data layer (CockroachDB/TiDB/ScyllaDB/Trino) with 20 μs queries auto geo-fencing
Embed differential privacy (ε 0.5) zk-proof audit trails in every response
Enable zero-downtime upgrades across 10000 microservices via on-chain registry
Ship type-safe SDKs and one-click endpoint deployment (<3 min)
**Research Innovation & Thought Leadership**
Prototype bleeding-edge ideas from SOSP/OSDI/USENIX ATC papers
Publish at QCon Strange Loop ICDCS
Keynote at Web3 Backend Summit 2026 and WasmCon 2026
**Requirements Must Have**
8 years shipping 1B RPS backends in Rust Go or C
Multiple GraphQL Federation gRPC gateways launched at 100M DAU scale
Hands-on post-quantum crypto (Kyber Dilithium) and ZK middleware integration
Expert in async runtimes service mesh exactly-once semantics formal verification
**Nice to Have**
Staff/Principal experience at Layer-1/Layer-2 or infra unicorn
First-author papers at top systems venues
Patents in distributed systems or applied cryptography
**First 90-Day Deliverables**
Live gateway cluster at 10B RPS sub-1 ms p99
Post-quantum service mesh (<8 μs overhead)
Cross-chain finality API at 5M TPS
ZK authorization on 100 % of external APIs
Self-service portal: new endpoint in <3 min
Open-source Rust GraphQL component 500 stars
Accepted QCon SF 2026 talk paper
Top candidates: 4-hour live systems design Rust coding session.
