Compensation & Growth Path
This is a part time equity / token-based cofounder opportunity. You will receive equity in Launch Legends, Autheo, and the WFO Creator Network, along with token allocations in the Autheo blockchain. We have already completed an initial financing round to support infrastructure and marketing, and are currently in discussions with VCs and crypto investors to fund expansion and salaries.  Salaried compensation is expected to begin within 4 to 5 months, following our node, token sales or funding.

ROLE: Senior Platform Blockchain Engineer 

About the Role  
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Blockchain 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 core Layer 0 / Layer 1 blockchain stack: consensus, distributed ledger, dynamic sharding, cross-chain bridges, and DePIN integration – pushing beyond 50B+ TPS global throughput with sub-millisecond finality and full resistance to nation-state attacks, while enabling seamless interoperability with Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos and 20+ ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities 
• Architect and ship next-gen DAG + BFT hybrid consensus achieving 50B+ TPS and <500 μs probabilistic finality  
• Design dynamic sharding system scaling linearly across 10,000+ validator nodes with zero-downtime re-sharding  
• Build temporal weighting, verification pools, and entropy-based leader selection that eliminate Sybil and grinding attacks  
• Implement tuple-based state model and n-tier execution layers for unlimited horizontal scaling  
• Embed NIST FIPS 203–206 post-quantum cryptography (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) directly into consensus and networking  
• Deliver production cross-chain bridges supporting 5M+ TPS asset transfers and message passing  
• Formally verify liveness, safety, and double-spend resistance using TLA+ / Apalache  
• Drive open-source SDKs and tooling that become the default for sovereign chain deployment

Research, Innovation & Thought Leadership 
• Publish novel consensus and sharding breakthroughs at Devcon, Consensus, SBC, ICDCS  
• Keynote at Devcon 2026 on “50 Billion TPS Layer 0 at Sub-Millisecond Finality”

Requirements – Must Have
• 8+ years building production Layer 0 / Layer 1 blockchains in Rust and/or Go  
• Multiple mainnet launches with ≥10M TPS real-world throughput  
• Deep expertise in DAGs, BFT variants (Tendermint, HotStuff, Narwhal/Bullshark), sharding, and formal verification (TLA+, Coq)  
• Hands-on post-quantum cryptography integration into consensus  
• Proven track record shipping cross-chain interoperability (IBC, XCM, or equivalent) at scale

Nice to Have
• Former core contributor to Cosmos SDK, Substrate, Solana, Aptos, Sui, or Avalanche  
• First-author papers at top distributed systems or cryptography venues  
• Patents in consensus, sharding, or post-quantum blockchain primitives

First 90-Day Deliverables  
• Production consensus prototype hitting 50B+ TPS in testnet with full TLA+ verification  
• Dynamic sharding layer live with 1,000+ simulated nodes and instant reconfiguration  
• Post-quantum signed blocks and networking across the entire chain  
• Live cross-chain bridges to Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos at 5M+ TPS  
• Open-source Rust SDK with 1,000+ stars  
• Accepted paper + keynote at Devcon 2026

Top candidates: 6-hour live consensus design + Rust implementation session.
