2024-02-11: Backend Developer - Bluesky

Bluesky’s mission is to transition the social web from platforms to protocols. We’re building a federated social network where users have more power. Our team has decades of combined experience building distributed applications. As a backend dev, you’ll be writing protocol and backend application code that will be a critical part of transforming social media.

Responsibilities:

• Scale our existing services to millions of users
• Develop and maintain the AT Protocol implementation
• Create SDK and API tools for an ecosystem of protocol developers

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have experience with Typescript and/or Go
• Have a strong knowledge of data structures and software design principles
• Have experience working with Postgres at scale
• Have experience with Scylla/Cassandra or Elasticsearch
• Are familiar with distributed systems
• Have built scalable and high-performance server-side applications
• Like working on small, fast-moving teams
• Have read the atproto docs and want to contribute

We’re especially excited if you have:

• Previous experience working on social sites
• Experience with cryptographic primitives such as public/private keys and merkle trees
• Experience with the IPLD or DID ecosystems

IPLDとかDIDとかよくわからんけどWeb3.0方面の技術経験をプラスに評価しているが、今のBlueskyのサービスの特徴とあまり関係ない気がするので、今後の展開が気になる。
