Member of Technical Staff, Sync
About Rift
Rift is the universal filesystem for agents. It keeps everything a person's agents produce in one encrypted filesystem, on all of that person's machines.
The role
You will own how files move between machines. A file written on one machine should reach every other machine as fast as the network allows, and it should still arrive after machines sleep and connections drop.
What you will do
- Design the protocol that keeps every copy of a folder identical.
- Find and remove whatever keeps a large transfer below the speed of the network.
- Define correct behavior in writing, then prove the system meets it.
- Reproduce every sync failure a user reports, then fix its cause.
You may be a good fit if you
- Have built distributed systems that people relied on.
- Write systems code and care about correctness under concurrency.
- Can reason about consistency and failure, and explain your reasoning in writing.
- Settle a disagreement by writing the test that decides it.
