About Codex
We’re a diverse team of experienced researchers and engineers scattered around the world working at the intersection of P2P networks and bleeding-edge Zero Knowledge technology. We’re building the next generation storage engine that attempts to “untie the knot” of incentivized storage. Our goal is to deliver a more advanced decentralized storage protocol that pushes the state of the art of decentralized storage solutions forward.
We’re looking for an experienced P2P Networking Protocol Engineer with hands-on experience designing and implementing state of the art networking protocols and distributed systems.
