• Contribute to the architectural decision process of Linea
• Participate in all aspects of the software development process, including requirements gathering, analysis, design, implementation, and testing
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues that arise during development and production
• Prepare and execute backend migrations involving the prover
• Stay current with new technologies and industry trends related to Go, Docker, and AWS
• Prepare the open-sourcing of Linea’s prover
• Ensure the best practices of code quality and security are applied in the code base

Qualifications:

• Strong experience with GoLang and distributed systems
• Experience with developing using ZKP, SNARK, or STARK technologies
