• We are seeking a StaffLevel Rust Engineer to lead the implementation of the off chain component of a novel hack prevention protocol for EVM chains. This protocol focuses on lowlatency EVM simulations ensuring that each transaction is valid based on a set of rules within extreme time constraints often in the tens of milliseconds. Your work will play a pivotal role in securing decentralized applications by running software close to Web3 infrastructure actively preventing hacks in realtime.
  
• As part of our client lean highimpact team you ll contribute to Credible Layer one of our core products. This role involves protocol design handson Rust development and crafting scalable securityfirst systems. You ll also have the opportunity to shape the overall direction of our engineering efforts while working closely with other top engineers in the field of cryptography and security.
  

Requirements

• Lead the architecture and implementation of the off chain component for our client Hack Prevention Protocol.
  
• Collaborate with external L2 teams to integrate our client systems with their APIs (e.g. sequencers) and ensure seamless operation within their infrastructure.
  
• Ensure the implementation is performant and secure treating it as "critical infrastructure" to prevent hacks on decentralized applications.
  
• Develop and maintain lowlatency EVM simulations ensuring transaction validation within strict time requirements (tens of milliseconds).
  
• Contribute to the design and review of security protocols and systems ensuring they are robust scalable and futureproof.
  
• Drive innovation by researching and experimenting with new tools and technologies in the Rust ecosystem aiming to improve our client security offerings.
