      <Title>Systems Engineer</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>We&#39;re seeking a Systems Engineer to join LayerZero.</p>
<p>In this role, you&#39;ll build the foundational systems that power our execution and infrastructure layers, including Zero.</p>
<p>This is a low-level, performance-critical role focused on runtime architecture, concurrency, and scalable execution.</p>
<p>You will make architectural decisions that directly impact how our systems execute, scale, and remain stable under load.</p>
<p>Responsibilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Architect high-performance systems and leverage AI to implement them in Rust.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Build and optimise core runtime, networking, or state management components.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Profile and improve performance both at low-level (CPU, memory) and cluster-scale (network, scheduling).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Debug race conditions, deadlocks, and production performance issues.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Contribute to architectural decisions around scheduling, synchronisation, and system scalability.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Own systems end-to-end from design through production.</li>
</ul>
<p>About You:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bachelor&#39;s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>2+ years of experience building systems-level or performance-critical software.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Strong proficiency in systems programming and leveraging AI to build software.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Deep understanding of concurrency, CPU architecture, cache hierarchy, and operating systems.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Experience designing or contributing to low-level storage, compute, or network infrastructure.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Strong intuition for striking a pragmatic balance between complexity for performance and simplicity for robustness.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Experience using low-level profiling and debugging tools in production environments.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Interest in working on distributed and execution-layer systems.</li>
</ul>
