Role Description

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Runtime Engineer to join our pioneering team as an Equity Co-Founder at the forefront of native blockchain execution. At Autheo, we are building the platform that redefines decentralized computation, delivering sub-microsecond execution speeds, billions of transactions per second throughput, and mathematically proven security against adversaries.

• Ship production WASM runtime hitting sub-10 ms cold starts and 1 B+ TPS with Cranelift + vectorized JIT
• Build autheo-bindgen: zero-boilerplate, 100 % type-safe FFI generation for 5+ languages
• Implement native runtime opcodes for zk-proof validation, FHE (CKKS/BFV), and post-quantum signatures
• Design 1 TB+ secure linear memory with SGX/TrustZone sealing and remote attestation
• Deliver single-command SDKs (Rust/Go/TS/Python) deploying dApps to 10 K+ TPS rollups
• Ship GPU-direct WASM execution paths and parallel sandboxing across 10,000+ DePIN nodes
• Embed ε=0.5 differential privacy and encrypted memory primitives directly in the runtime
• Create VS Code extension + CLI + live playground driving instant developer onboarding

Qualifications

• 8+ years building production WASM runtimes or VM execution engines in Rust
• Multiple shipped runtimes achieving ≥100 M ops/sec in production
• Hands-on JIT/AOT compilation, FFI binding generation, and secure sandboxing
• Deep expertise in Wasmtime, Wasm3, Lucet, or equivalent internals
• Proven 10×+ performance wins over baseline WASM implementations

Requirements

• Core contributor to Wasmtime, wasm-bindgen, AssemblyScript, or WebAssembly proposals
• First-author papers at top programming-languages or systems venues
• Patents in WASM security, JIT optimization, or cryptographic runtimes

First 90-Day Deliverables

• Production runtime with sub-10 ms cold starts at 1 B+ TPS
• autheo-bindgen generating bindings for Rust/Go/TS/Solidity with zero overhead
• Native zk-proof + FHE opcodes live in mainline runtime
• Full SGX/TrustZone 1 TB memory + attestation support
• Single-command SDK deploying to live rollups
• Open-source runtime + tooling suite → 2,000+ stars
• Accepted paper + keynote at WasmCon 2026
