About the job

The P2P Search team is building a next-gen stack for resilient, decentralized search. We're serious about decentralization -- that means a truly peer-to-peer architecture with no centralized index. It's search without servers -- our technology empowers anyone to spin up a self-organizing, unstoppable search engine for text, pics, chats, locations, or any data you can imagine.

We're seeking talented Node.js engineers with a passion for P2P, an interest in research but a bias for building, and a deep understanding of some combination of the following:

  • Kademlia DHT.

  • Distributed indexing and the relevant research literature: skip graphs, prefix hash trees, m-LIGHT, locality sensitive hashing.

  • Distributed databases and CRDTs.

  • Networking for P2P: TCP/IP, transport-layer connection orientation and reliability models, multiplexing, NAT traversal, encryption.

  • Classical IR topics and search engine architecture: recall vs. precision, ranking algorithms, lexical vs. semantic search, inverted indices, etc.

  • Network protocol testing, evaluation, and optimization.

  • Writing high performance, highly concurrent networking code.

  • The Holepunch stack: hyperdht, hyperswarm, hypercore, hyperbee, hyperdrive, udx-native

Skills Required

  • Node.js engineering experience
  • Knowledge of Kademlia DHT
  • Familiarity with distributed indexing research (skip graphs, prefix hash trees, m-LIGHT, locality sensitive hashing)
  • Experience with distributed databases and CRDTs
  • Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, transport-layer reliability, multiplexing)
  • NAT traversal and P2P connectivity techniques
  • Applied encryption knowledge for networked systems
  • Classical IR and search engine architecture (inverted indices, ranking algorithms, lexical/semantic search)
  • Network protocol testing, evaluation, and optimization experience
  • Ability to write high-performance, highly concurrent networking code
  • Experience with Holepunch stack: hyperdht, hyperswarm, hypercore, hyperbee, hyperdrive, udx-native
  • Excellent English communication skills
