Ockam is building SDKs for embedded systems and edge devices. The Ockam code base is polyglot and built in a highly modular architecture. We utilize Rust, C, Elixir, and Golang in our stack.
You will be responsible for building core library components in the Ockam code base. Primarily, you will code in Rust, but will need to interface with our C, Go, and Elixir libraries as well. You will design abstract interfaces, modular libraries, and binary wire formats for Ockam’s protocols. Your understanding and experiences with several standard networking protocols will be challenged, as will your experiences with consuming external open source libraries, and creating simple abstractions for end users of the Rust SDK.
Ockam is a small and extremely senior team. This role involves architecture, interface design, writing code, responsibility for testing, and publishing documentation. Everyone on the Ockam team takes responsibility for their parts from end-to-end, including the creation of long term objectives, issues in GitHub, task management in our Trello boards, and summaries of key results.
