About Move Industries
Move Industries is building the People's Chain, a Move-based Layer 1 blockchain, and a diverse ecosystem that empowers talented builders to create the future of finance, infrastructure, and real-world value on chain. As a core contributor to the Movement Network, we combine deep protocol engineering with open community governance, returning blockchain to its roots by giving financial power, access and opportunity back to the people.
Our Mission
Our mission is to fuel the next generation of secure, expressive, and high-performance blockchain applications through the Move programming language and scalable distributed systems. You will help unlock massive throughput, low latency, and resilience across consensus, data availability, and privacy - the invisible rails that make an open and decentralized future possible.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Protocol to join our core systems team and architect the backbone of the Movement Network. In this role, you will drive development of latency-critical, correctness-sensitive components such as consensus, state synchronization, and mempool systems. You'll use Rust for distributed systems that operate under real-world load, and you'll help shape foundational protocol design alongside other senior engineers.
What You'll Do
Design, implement, and optimize core protocol components, including:
Consensus mechanisms
State synchronization and replication
Mempool and transaction propagation
Build high-performance, fault-tolerant distributed systems in Rust
Improve system throughput, reliability, and latency at scale
Partner with research and product teams to iterate protocol designs
Debug and resolve complex distributed systems challenges in live environments
Contribute to engineering standards for testing, benchmarks, and safe releases
What We're Looking For
Deep experience as a Rust generalist with a focus on systems programming
Strong background in distributed systems (consensus, replication, networking, async primitives) and design tradeoffs
Experience building or operating production infrastructure or protocol software
Excellent understanding of:
Asynchronous concurrency and performance optimization
Network protocols and peer-to-peer systems
Design tradeoffs in decentralized systems
Rigorous approach to correctness, testing, and reliability
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with blockchain protocols or consensus engines
Exposure to EVM or MoveVM ecosystem
Background in high-throughput, low-latency systems
Familiarity with cryptographic primitives used in consensus/security
Prior work in decentralized or open-source protocol communities
Why Join Us
Work on critical infrastructure powering a rapidly growing Move ecosystem
Join a community-centric, technically elite team of former Facebook, Google, Uber, Apple enginers
Competitive compensation with meaningful upside
A culture that values technical excellence, clarity, and extreme ownership
Opportunity to impact real-world adoption of decentralized financial system
Our Engineering Culture
Make it live. Then make it better.
Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)
Extreme ownership
