iftother is a company focused on revitalising civil society through its decentralized technology stack. The role involves designing and implementing liblogos, a modular plugin runtime for decentralized nodes, while collaborating with teams to build and test various modules.
Responsibilities:
- Help design and implement liblogos, which provides a modular plugin-based runtime for decentralized nodes and applications
- Optimize IPC performance
- Improve isolation (also in regards to efficiency), fault tolerance, independent scalability, and secure boundaries of modules to prevent cross-module vulnerabilities
- Collaborate with component teams to build and test modules like decentralised nodes
Requirements:
- Proficiency in systems programming languages including C, C++, Rust, and Nim
- Experience with plugin architectures, dynamic loading, and package managers for modular runtime systems
- Strong understanding of microkernel principles: minimal core, service isolation, fault tolerance, and extensibility without core modifications
- Experience with Linux namespaces and cgroups for process isolation, containerization techniques, and achieving microkernel-style separation in user-space environments
- Knowledge of IPC optimization, and low-level performance tuning in multi-process environments
- Experience in network programming
- Experience working for an open-source organization
- Knowledge of type theory and programming language foundations
- Experience with peer-to-peer technologies, blockchain, or cryptography
