Your future is NEAR

About Near

NEAR is a modular and scalable protocol built to empower AI agents: to understand user intent, perform transactions, orchestrate execution, and adapt over time.

Our ecosystem provides the foundation for AI-native applications — combining fast L1 infrastructure, cross-chain interoperability, and a developer-first environment that abstracts away blockchain complexity.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Effectively communicate and collaborate with a globally distributed team
• Work closely with NEAR’s leadership to explore new opportunities
• Work with partners to define technical requirements and prototype implementations
• Contribute to the team’s technical roadmap
• Facilitate cross-functional work within the organization
• Facilitate discussions and debates, consolidating different perspectives to drive decisions to execution
• Open source community contribution by collaborating with external contributors on our codebase and participating in community events.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with blockchains or complex distributed systems
• Ability to quickly learn and grasp complex engineering concepts
• An effective communicator and ability to remain calm under pressure and when juggling multiple priorities
• Fluency with algorithms and data structures
• Excellent coding skills
• Experience with Rust or alternatively but less preferred C++ or Go
• Experience with concurrency or parallelism
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field is a must

We’d Love If You Have:

• Open source contributions and previous or continued involvement in open source communities
• Experience with LLMs
• Knowledge and experience with cryptography
• Experience with Rust
• Experience working at a startup

Please let us know if you require any special requirements for your interview and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
