Reth Engineer (Remote)

About the RoleWe're looking for an Ethereum developer with reth experience to join our team building a Bitcoin signing system for the Sova Network. Your knowledge of reth's architecture and Rust-based Ethereum client development is exactly what we need. You'll help us design validator nodes and network architecture for our distributed transaction signing system. This is a remote role, and we're flexible on part-time arrangements if that works better for you. Key ResponsibilitiesHelp design and implement a secure key management system used by all validators in the Sova NetworkApply your Ethereum client experience to our validator network architectureCollaborate with cryptography specialists on distributed transaction signingContribute to development of secure upgrade paths for the signer serviceLeverage your reth knowledge to improve our network's overall architectureRequired Skills and ExperienceExperience with Ethereum execution clients, especially rethProficient in systems programming languages (Rust preferred)Understanding of blockchain validator networksExperience with distributed systemsPreferred QualificationsKnowledge of applied cryptographyFamiliarity with threshold signature schemesExperience with Shamir's Secret Sharing ProtocolKnowledge of Bitcoin transaction modelsBackground in distributed systems securityExperience developing secure onchain protocolsMore Design and Implementation Details You'll be part of the team building a threshold signature system run by staked validators on our network. Your experience with reth will be invaluable in designing secure validator node architecture, even if you're not an expert in the cryptographic components like FROST or Distributed Key Generation (DKG) Protocol.In this role, you'll work with our team to build a prototype using three testnet validators, beginning with Bitcoin regtest transactions. Your Ethereum client development experience - particularly with reth - provides a strong foundation for understanding validator consensus mechanisms and secure network design that we can apply to our Bitcoin signing implementation.
