Description
Who We Are
Solana is the leading high-performance network powering internet capital markets, payments, and crypto applications, built to become the capital market for every asset on earth. Anza is the core engineering team behind it. Founded by the engineers who built the original Solana validator client at Solana Labs, we develop Agave, the network’s primary and most widely run validator client, and ship the software that pushes the boundaries of blockchain performance and scale.
We advance the frontier of Solana’s core protocol. Most recently, Anza built and shipped Alpenglow, the biggest upgrade in Solana’s history, replacing the network’s original consensus protocol and bringing deterministic finality in about 150ms to mainnet-beta. And we’re just getting started, with work underway on faster block propagation, quicker leader handoffs, and the infrastructure that will carry Solana’s next phase of growth.
The Role
As a Software Engineer specializing in storage, you will play a critical role in fortifying Anza’s Agave client and the broader Solana network. The AccountsDB team owns the custom storage engine at the heart of every Solana validator. Every account on Solana, from balances to program state to token holdings, lives in AccountsDB, and every transaction the network processes reads from and writes to it.
Your work will directly contribute to the performance and reliability of our blockchain infrastructure, ensuring account state is stored, indexed, and served efficiently as the network grows.
