# Systems Engineer (Rust)
Quilt is a research-focused team under ConsenSys R&D. We’re focused on pushing the Ethereum ecosystem forward — no strings attached to business functions. Our team is 100% remote and everything we build is open source.

Some of the various projects we work on:
* Infrastructure, simulations, and tests to build an end to end Ethereum 2.0 prototype and testnet ready for benchmarking and viability studies
* Formalization of the Ethereum 2.0 VM (Web Assembly)
* Execution environment design and specification - optimal accumulators, designs, proofs
* Incentives, game theory research and specification on fee markets/transaction broadcasting
* State channel and layer 2 markets integrated within a multi-sharded system
* Research on atomicity and synchronicity in a sharded system
* Multi-client networking and scalability
* General contributions on https://ethresear.ch

### The Role
As a systems engineer, you will be an active contributor in the development of the first execution-capable Ethereum 2.0 testnet. Other areas of work would likely be focused around networking/scalability across multiple shards and building further infrastructure such as fee markets, necessary light client servers, etc.

### Qualifications:
* Rust experience preferable but C++ or other systems level experience ok
* Understanding of Ethereum and blockchain tech
* Research-focused but highly pragmatic and willing to write POCs

* General contributions on https://ethresear.ch

### The Role
As an R&D engineer, you will initially be focused on research around the incentives and specification of the fee market and how transactions are broadcasted properly. State channel and layer 2 market integration will play a strong part in this research. We’d like to see quick POCs developed around various approaches. This work may be the foundation for its own team as more research is validated.

### Qualifications:
* Rust experience preferable
* Knowledge of blockchain ecosystem
* Understanding of layer 2 constructs (e.g. state channels)
* Research-focused but highly pragmatic and willing to write POCs
* Willing to help kickstart the growth of a new team and effort
