WebAI
CRDT Software Engineer
About this role
webAI is seeking senior and staff engineers to build distributed, edge-based AI infrastructure with a focus on CRDT-based data synchronization and peer-to-peer networking. You'll design resilient systems that bring AI computation closer to data sources while maintaining security, privacy, and reliability across resource-constrained and intermittently-connected environments.
What you'll do
- Design and implement advanced synchronization and networking systems using CRDTs, Merkle trees, and content addressable storage for distributed AI operations
- Lead performance optimization, debugging, and tuning of distributed systems under resource constraints and intermittent connectivity
- Architect secure data synchronization frameworks with threat modeling, cryptographic protocols, and secure key management
- Collaborate with MLOps, Infrastructure, and Security teams to deploy AI components in air-gapped or restricted systems
- Contribute to cross-functional architectural design discussions and documentation for stakeholders
- Establish rigorous testing, observability, and validation practices to ensure system reliability and compliance
What they're looking for
- CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type) design and implementation
- Peer-to-peer and decentralized networking frameworks
- Rust, C++, C, or Go backend systems programming
- Distributed systems architecture and protocols
- Cryptographic primitives and secure key management
- Content addressable storage and Merkle trees
- Distributed hash tables and gossip protocols
- Performance optimization under resource constraints
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
- 401(k) match (U.S.-based employees)
- $200/month Health & Wellness stipend
- Continuing Education support and $500/year Function Health subscription
- Flexible Time Off and parental leave
