. Executive Summary
Viral Vind Technologies is seeking an elite Senior Blockchain Protocol Engineer to lead the development of Phantom Proto. This is a high-stakes, onsite role in Karachi for an engineer who excels in low-level systems programming and cryptographic implementation. You will be responsible for building the privacy-preserving infrastructure that allows our autonomous AI systems to operate with absolute data integrity.
2. Core Responsibilities
- Protocol Engineering: Architect and optimize a high-performance blockchain protocol from the ground up using Rust.
- Cryptographic Implementation: Integrate Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) into the core execution layer to ensure "Stealth-by-Default" transactions.
- Security & Auditing: Write adversarial-grade code. You are responsible for the protocol's resistance against Sybil attacks, front-running, and cryptographic exploits.
- Infrastructure Design: Manage the consensus mechanism and data availability layers, ensuring sub-second finality and high throughput.
- Onsite Collaboration: Work directly with the CEO and AI engineering teams to bridge the gap between autonomous agentic workflows and on-chain execution.
3. Required Technical Qualifications
- Rust Mastery: Minimum 3+ years of professional experience in Rust (or 5+ years in C++) with a focus on memory safety, concurrency, and performance tuning.
- Cryptography: Deep understanding of cryptographic primitives, including Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), AES, and SHA-3.
- Advanced Tech: Proven ability to implement or optimize ZKP (zk-SNARKs/STARKs) or Multi-Party Computation (MPC).
- Systems Design: Experience with distributed systems, p2p networking (libp2p), and consensus algorithms (BFT/PoS).
- Environment: Comfortable working in a Linux-heavy, high-security onsite "War Room" environment.
4. Professional Attributes
- Zero-Guidance Operator: You don't need a manager to tell you how to solve a bottleneck. You find the solution and implement it.
- High-Pressure Reliability: Ability to maintain code quality and mental clarity during critical deployment phases.
- Intellectual Dominance: A track record of solving complex mathematical or engineering problems that others deemed "too difficult."
5. Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: Market-leading PKR salary (benchmarked against global remote standards).
- Equity: Founding-member token allocation in the Phantom Proto ecosystem.
- Growth: Work on the most advanced FHE project in the region.
Job Type: Full-time
Work Location: In person
