Peer to Peer Systems Engineer

Special Notice: This position is NOT contingent upon awarding of a project or needing a funding source. This is full-time employment with webAI. About Us: At webAI we firmly believe that the future of AI lies in distributed processing at the edge, bringing computation closer to the source of data generation. Our mission is to build a future where a company's valuable data and intellectual property remain entirely private, enabling the deployment of large-scale AI models directly on standard consumer hardware without compromising the information embedded within those models. We are developing an end-to-end platform that is secure, scalable, and fully under the control of our users, empowering enterprises with AI that understands their unique business. About The Role: We are looking for engineers to support webAI’s Public Sector initiatives focused on secure, distributed, and resilient AI infrastructure. Ultimately for this team we’re looking for a Systems Engineer that knows Rust, or a Systems-ish Engineer that knows P2P very well. This role is more focused on Peer to Peer Engineering work. Here’s where it’s tricky. We know decentralized systems and distributed systems have a lot of overlap, but they aren’t exactly the same thing. In our opinion decentralized systems have a connotation of trustless environments, and that’s the knowledge we are looking for in this role.
