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 Kafka Engineer 

About the Role  
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Kafka 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 encrypted Kafka backbone that moves 200 GB/s+ of blockchain events, DePIN telemetry, cross-chain messages, and agentic AI triggers — delivering 0.4 μs per-message processing at 1 B+ EPS with full FHE, zk-proof provenance, and ε=0.5 differential privacy across 10,000+ global brokers.

Key Responsibilities
• Design and operate Kafka clusters sustaining 1 B+ events/sec at <0.4 μs p99 latency  
• Build DAG-based stream topologies with exactly-once semantics and zero reprocessing  
• Embed CKKS/BFV fully homomorphic encryption enabling processing on fully encrypted events  
• Implement zk-proof event provenance verifying 1–5 ms integrity for every message  
• Deploy dynamic partition sharding across 10,000+ brokers with instant rebalancing  
• Integrate SGX / TrustZone enclaves for 1 TB-scale encrypted log segments with remote attestation  
• Ship 80 % event compression while preserving post-quantum security  
• Deliver zero-config Kafka SDKs (Rust/Go/Java) with built-in encryption and proof generation  
• Drive GPU-accelerated parallel stream processing and AI-driven consumer lag prediction  

Research, Innovation & Thought Leadership  
• Publish encrypted streaming and zk-event breakthroughs at Kafka Summit, SIGMOD, SOSP  
• Keynote at Kafka Summit 2026 on “1 Billion Encrypted Events/sec at Sub-Microsecond Latency”

Requirements – Must Have
• 8+ years operating production Kafka clusters at ≥100 M EPS scale  
• Multiple deployments achieving ≥500 M EPS with <1 ms p99 latency  
• Hands-on FHE or zk-proof integration into Kafka Streams / ksqlDB  
• Deep expertise in tiered storage, KRaft, exactly-once semantics, and multi-region replication  
• Proven operation of 5,000+ broker fleets  

Nice to Have
• Core contributor to Apache Kafka, Confluent, or WarpStream  
• First-author papers at top data or systems venues  
• Patents in encrypted streaming, zk-event proofs, or stream sharding  

First 90-Day Deliverables  
• Production Kafka cluster hitting 1 B+ EPS at 0.4 μs processing  
• Live FHE-encrypted topics with compute-on-encrypted events  
• zk-proof provenance layer verifying every message in 1–5 ms  
• Dynamic sharding live across 5,000+ brokers  
• 80 % compression pipeline preserving security  
• Open-source Rust Kafka client with encryption → 1,000+ stars  
• Accepted paper + keynote at Kafka Summit 2026  

*Top candidates: 6-hour live Kafka architecture + Rust connector session building encrypted DAG streaming from scratch.
