Blockchain Protocol Engineer – Rust & AI Consensus

Overview

Core Edge Solutions is building the next evolution of decentralized systems and seeks a Blockchain Protocol Engineer – Rust & AI Consensus who thrives at the intersection of Rust programming, advanced cryptography, and AI-enhanced consensus models.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement a performant, scalable blockchain layer in Rust.
• Combine AI models and cryptographic consensus mechanisms into a dual-consensus protocol.
• Research and apply post-quantum cryptographic techniques including lattice-based systems.
• Work with zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption and other privacy-first mechanisms.
• Integrate Solidity/Move smart contracts for AI-on-chain operations.
• Design network-layer components such as validator performance and messaging latency.
• Co-develop DAO governance logic and cross-chain interoperability modules.
• Build developer SDKs, CLI tools, APIs, and accompanying documentation.

What You Bring

• Expert-level Rust skills with blockchain development experience (Substrate, Cosmos SDK, etc.).
• Smart contract fluency in Solidity or Move.
• Strong grasp of consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives, and distributed systems.
• Knowledge of quantum-resistant security techniques, e.g., STARKs/SNARKs.
• Background in AI integration, LLM orchestration, or agent-based protocols.
• Experience with P2P networks, EVM/WASM internals and performance optimization.
