Work At Litheum

We believe in pushing beyond what’s commonly accepted. At Litheum, we set ambitious goals and pursue them with relentless drive. Mediocrity has no place here; we expect commitment, rapid learning, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Our team members are relentless, resourceful, and mission-focused. We expect impactful results, sharp focus, and the ability to tackle high-impact work that could be career-defining.

Web/DApp Developer - HTML/CSS - Solidity - Web3js - Fully Remote

Project Overview:

Litheum is at the forefront of blockchain innovation, creating a Layer 1 blockchain poised to revolutionize the industry. As a startup in its initial phases, we boast a small, dynamic and global team spanning across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We are pioneering the next wave of Web3 applications, providing global-scale consensus in a straightforward, secure, and cost-effective manner.

Our groundbreaking Proof of Performance consensus model sets us apart, encouraging network nodes—referred to as Runners—to contribute vital infrastructure such as networking, CPU, and memory. Our vision is ambitious: to facilitate 1 trillion transactions per day at just 10% of the infrastructure costs associated with leading blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

We are proud to have some of the most advanced blockchain specialists in the world on our team, making Litheum a prime location for learning and professional growth.

We are building world-class tech and want to work with world-class people. This project is highly ambitious and you will be expected to grow along with this project. As an early team member you’ll be forming the foundation of the Litheum Team and helping define our team culture and best practices.

Compensation:

Litheum is committed to building a top-tier team and includes above-market salary for anyone joining the team. In addition, a portion of the compensation will include token-based compensation similar to stock options.

Role: Software Engineer - Dapp Development

Responsibilities:

We value generalists and think of software as an engineering discipline. As a DApp Developer your immediate responsibilities will be developing and maintaining demo DApps on our Testnet.

Additionally, you will be supporting our marketing team by helping maintain our website, which can be found at litheum.com, and creating occasional landing pages for various ad campaigns.

LitheumCore is our main project, a rust-based implementation of Litheum. We have integrated revm for EVM support and need to demonstrate Litheum’s capabilities by creating custom DApps on top of our chain. Because Litheum is capable of much higher throughput than other chains there is an opportunity for DApp developers to build new, impactful user experiences that are fully onchain yet take full advantage of the value of decentralization. The first thing we’d like to build is an order-book-based DEX, similar to traditional exchanges, but fully onchain.

We practice agile/scrum methodologies and follow Test Driven Development and Continuous Integration best practices.

Required Knowledge/Skills:

You should have very strong knowledge of data structures and algorithms and a solid understanding of computational complexity (Big-O).

You should have strong abilities at Linux sysadmin: vim or emacs, nginx config, systemd, containerization, bash/zsh, awk or python or similar.

Your desktop should run Linux or MacOS.

Solid understanding of the async revolution and its interplay with I/O, i.e. you should understand why asynchronous programming has taken over. Bonus if you know c10k and c10m.

You should know the following names: ESR, K&R, Ryan Dahl, Joel Spolsky, Ken Thompson, Rob Pike, Donald Knuth.

You should have good experience with solidity and javascript. Rust would be very helpful, but not strictly required. At least the ability to read, run, and debug Rust would be very helpful, but can also be learned on-the-job. HTML and CSS skills would be nice to have also.

Required Tech

• Solidity, Javascript, HTML/CSS
• Git/Github, Linux sysadmin (bash/zsh, nginx, systemd, etc)
  
  

Bonus Tech/Skills

• Rust
• NIXOS
  
  

Next Steps For Litheum:

We are on the cusp of exciting developments, including launching our brand, releasing our testnet, and an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in the coming year.

Technical Products And Upcoming Milestones:

LitheumCore: Our biggest technical project is our reference implementation, LitheumCore, which is written in Rust. It is currently approaching feature-parity with Bitcoin (but scalable).

At the moment we are integrating revm for smart contract support.

Metamask Fork: We will soon be forking Metamask to support the Truly Decentralized nature of Litheum. In the context of Litheum, web3js providers can be provided in a much simpler way. Additionally some RPCs may not be available since all data on Litheum is provided by the network itself and some RPCs may be deemed unnecessary and so some small refactors and changes may be needed.

Demo Wallets: We have a demo web wallet in HTML/Javascript and a demo iOS/Andoid wallet written in Flutter. Both leverage the wallet code from the litheum-common via wasm.

IDO Infrastructure: We are planning a highly customized token launch which will require a DApp and ERC20.

Proof of Performance Simulator: In order to validate our consensus design and parameterization, we have developed a simulator which can be used to make predictions about behavior and economics of the Litheum mainnet.

The Litheum Team

Clayton Rabenda is the founder/CTO of Litheum. He is a former Senior Engineer at Google and previous head of Engineering for Saito blockchain. He's focused on the state of the blockchain industry, the nature of decentralization, the origins of the scalability dilemma, and the game theory of consensus design. He is interested in educating the blockchain community and raising the conversation to the next level. He believes that decentralization can change the world but that the industry has been facing an existential dilemma since 2017 and that we need to raise the standards of the industry, both technologically and philosophically, to achieve our goals.

The rest of the Litheum team includes some of the brightest minds in next-generation blockchain technology spread across the globe. We are found around the world in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the US, but mostly in Eastern and Central Asia.

At Litheum, we are a mission-driven team aiming to solve the hardest problems in blockchain and decentralization. We seek individuals who are passionate, curious, and ready to embrace the unknown with tenacity and resilience. We’re not just looking for developers; we’re seeking builders and thinkers who are ready to redefine what’s possible.

This isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to be part of a paradigm shift in blockchain. We’re a small team with massive aspirations, and every member here is expected to lead. You’ll be a key player from day one, setting high standards for code quality, design, and functionality. At Litheum, we don’t have ‘quiet contributors’; every voice shapes our direction and every contribution is essential.

Our Philosophy

We believe in pushing beyond what’s commonly accepted. At Litheum, we set ambitious goals and pursue them with relentless drive. Mediocrity has no place here; we expect commitment, rapid learning, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Our team members are relentless, resourceful, and mission-focused. We expect impactful results, sharp focus, and the ability to tackle high-impact work that could be career-defining.

If you’re looking for a 9-to-5, this isn’t it. We’re here to make history, not to meet quotas.

What Success Looks Like At Litheum

Success here means delivering projects that other companies would consider impossible. You will be measured by your contributions, speed, and impact on the team. We need individuals who thrive under pressure and are ready to take on extreme technical challenges. In return, you’ll receive a compensation package tailored to reflect the impact you make—including performance-based tokens that align your success with the long-term success of Litheum.
