Founding Engineer (Security / AI / Distributed Systems) — Stealth Project
Next-Gen Secure DePIN x Multi-Agent SLM Trading Platform (Stealth / DM for Proposal)
We are building a highly secure, decentralized AI-automated asset management and trading platform running on edge DePIN nodes. The platform utilizes 10 specialized SLMs (Small Language Models) for asynchronous execution. To ensure absolute privacy for institutional and whale traders, we implement a hard-layered defense system. This eliminates the front-running and data-selling risks common in current "free" AI wallets.
Tech we use: Cardano/Midnight (ZKP), Estonia UXP, KSI Blockchain, eBPF kernel monitoring, TEE (Intel SGX/AMD SEV), Wasm sandboxing, and NATS/gRPC for low-latency messaging.
We are looking for TWO top-tier founding engineers to team up for our upcoming high-value Grant Proposals (Web3 Foundations & Enterprise). One will focus on Security & Infrastructure, and the other on AI & Distributed Systems.
Details:
- Location: Remote (Global / Target: Eastern Europe, GMT+1 to GMT+3 preferred)
- Compensation (Pre-Funding): $150 - $300 setup/consulting fee upfront for a 1-hour alignment call and the legal right to include your profile/CV in our upcoming Grant Proposals.
- Compensation (Post-Grant): Once funding is secured, contracted at a premium rate of $100 - $150/hr (Equivalent to a $300k annual salary range).
- Benefits / Upside: NO EQUITY DILUTION. Instead, we offer a Milestone-Triggered Revenue Share. Once the platform hits $10,000 in Monthly Gross Revenue, a total of 5% to 10% of Gross Revenue will be distributed directly to the 2 founding engineers every month for 12 consecutive months.
- Role: Full-time / Milestone-contract.
