Engineer (Distributed Systems, Rust)

Logos is a movement supporting the development of the decentralised web. Logos technologies lay the foundations for a freer internet upon which communities can evolve into network states. Each protocol in the Logos stack seeks to empower its users while upholding civil liberties and fundamental freedoms.

The project, Nomos, is a sovereign, modular, zk-encrypted network of blockchains, serving as the trustless agreements layer of the Logos stack. It will provide a common infrastructure layer for communities and aspiring network states to build social, governance, and financial services that uphold their members' fundamental rights and values.
