Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. webAI develops secure, distributed AI infrastructure that processes data at the edge while preserving privacy and user control. The CRDT Software Engineer will design and implement synchronization, networking, security, and distributed systems for reliable AI operations across edge devices, cloud-isolated environments, and air-gapped systems.
Responsibilities
- Work in backend systems languages to design and implement advanced synchronization and networking systems that enable reliable AI operations across heterogeneous environments, from edge devices to cloud isolated systems, while upholding the highest standards of performance, reliability, and data privacy
- Architect robust data synchronization frameworks using content addressable storage, Merkle trees, CRDTs
- Lead performance tuning, debugging, and optimization of distributed software under resource constrained and intermittent connectivity conditions
- Ensure security first design through threat modeling, secure key management, and integration of cryptographic primitives and protocols
- Collaborate with MLOps, Infrastructure, and Security teams to deploy and integrate AI components in restricted or air gapped systems
- Contribute to cross functional architectural design discussions and documentation for internal and external stakeholders
- Maintain rigorous testing, observability, and validation practices to ensure system reliability and compliance readiness
- Other areas touched on may include distributed hash tables, content identifiers, gossip protocols, DAGs, overlay networks, and NAT traversal
- Please note: Development will be done in Rust and you’ll be able to get up to speed on Rust while working with these systems if you haven’t worked in it
