About the role
- Hack on execution client internals (geth, reth, etc.) to extend capacity and capabilities of these systems well beyond current standards.
- Develop representative loads against which to rigorously benchmark performance.

- Helping with important external scaling efforts such as PeerDAS and Danksharding.
Requirements
- Some understanding of geth and/or reth internals (deep understanding of either a huge plus).
- Familiarity with database internals and high performance database systems.
- Understanding of the Ethereum scaling roadmap, and crypto-forward knowledge more generally.
- A track record of successful scaling of an existing high throughput system.
- Experience in software parallelization, including but not limited to optimistic concurrency and operation pipelining (nice to have).
- Understanding of optimized approaches to Ethereum state management such as Erigon/Reth’s flat DB, FirewoodDB, MonadDB, etc. (nice to have).
- Deep understanding of EVM internals, and (just-in-time) compilation expertise that might be applied to it (nice to have).
