Principal Blockchain Protocol Engineer

At Improbable, we've been venturing into unexplored territory for over a decade, seeking new ways to connect people and amplify their lives. We're shaping virtual worlds of unprecedented scale for the gaming, web3, and related sectors, creating world-changing technology from Morpheus to M2. With us, you'll tackle questions that no one else is asking and find answers that define the future.

We are working with the Virtual Society Foundation to design and build the world's highest throughput EVM-based L1 blockchain. We are looking for experienced blockchain protocol engineers to be part of the founding core team, designing and building out our high performance stack.

As a Principal Blockchain Protocol Engineer, you will have the opportunity to design and implement our core L1 blockchain protocol, optimize the core stack, drive the project towards an external devnet and beyond, and support and operate the protocol once it is externally launched. You'll also stay abreast of the latest developments in blockchain technology.

The ideal candidate will have direct experience building and launching an L1 or L2 blockchain, strong proficiency in C, C++ or Rust with professional experience, and experience with developing high-performance software and networked systems. You should be able to drive outcomes, work independently and in a team environment, and have strong communication skills.

This role offers flexibility in terms of work arrangement - it's available as remote, hybrid, or in-office. We have a great office space in Spitalfields in London but are equally happy if you'd prefer to work from home some or all of the time. We are 'Flexa' certified, meaning our entire employee experience is anchored around flexibility and autonomy.

At Improbable, we're committed to fostering an environment where people can do their best work and feel like they belong. We believe a healthy culture, strong values, and contributions from a diverse range of individuals will help us achieve success. Join us in shaping the future of virtual worlds and blockchain technology!
