About Status


Status is building the tools and infrastructure for the advancement of a secure, private, and open web3. 


With the high level goals of preserving the right to privacy, mitigating the risk of censorship, and promoting economic trade in a transparent, open manner, Status is building a community where anyone is welcome to join and contribute.


As an organization, Status seeks to push the web3 ecosystem forward through research, creation of developer tools, and support of the open source community. 


As a product, Status is an open source, Ethereum-based app that gives users the power to chat, transact, and access a revolutionary world of DApps on the decentralized web. But Status is also building foundational infrastructure for the whole Ethereum ecosystem, including the Nimbus ETH 1.0 and 2.0 clients, the Keycard hardware wallet, and the Waku messaging protocol (a continuation of Whisper).


As a team, Status has been completely distributed since inception.  Our team is currently 100+ core contributors strong, and welcomes a growing number of community members from all walks of life, scattered all around the globe. 


We care deeply about open source, and our organizational structure has a minimal hierarchy and no fixed work hours. We believe in working with a high degree of autonomy while supporting the organization's priorities.

The role:
 

P2p networks are at the heart of decentralized technologies and libp2p has quickly gained popularity as the goto p2p stack. At Status, we’ve successfully implemented and deployed a full fledged libp2p stack and it’s now powering the Nimbus Ethereum 2 client. The libp2p stack is also at the heart of other crucial Status projects and its usage within the organization and beyond is only going to increase. 


Our implementation is written in Nim - an efficient, expressive and elegant programming language.
 

You’ll be working on:
Implementing p2p networking protocols
Further architecture and development of the nim-libp2p implementation
Implement libp2p protocols according to existing specifications
Research and development of new p2p protocols and primitives
Working across teams to help with networking specific needs
You ideally will have: 
A passion for decentralization, p2p and privacy-preserving technology
Strong academic or engineering background
Experience with encryption and key exchange mechanisms
Experience with low level/strongly typed languages (C/C++/Go/Rust or Java/C#)
Experience building networking-heavy applications and p2p networking specifically
Experience implementing core networking protocols such as Websockets and/or Quic
Familiar with p2p building blocks such as gossiping, routing and discovery (DHTs), and Nat traversal
A strong alignment to our principles: https://status.im/about/#our-principles

Bonus points if:

Experience working remotely 
Experience working for an open-source organization  
Previous experience with libp2p - preferably as a direct contributor to the codebase or specifications
Or, experience with other off-the-shelf networking stacks such as devp2p
Experience with the Nim language
