Job Description

UltaHost is building next-generation hosting powered by decentralized storage protocols. We’re looking for a Distributed Systems Engineer with deep experience in IPFS, peer-to-peer networking, and resilient architectures. Your mission will be to help design and maintain our decentralized storage backbone across multiple data centers and regions. This role requires hands-on experience with distributed storage systems and a strong understanding of how to achieve performance, scalability, and reliability in decentralized networks.

Job Responsibility

  • Design and deploy scalable IPFS infrastructure across global data centers
  • Architect high-availability peer-to-peer systems using libp2p and custom overlays
  • Improve content discovery and data retrieval performance in IPFS clusters
  • Develop internal services to manage pinning, data indexing, and replication across nodes
  • Optimize content persistence, garbage collection, and deduplication logic
  • Coordinate with blockchain and backend teams to bridge IPFS with smart contract systems, NFT metadata storage, and Web3 domains
  • Monitor node health, DHT participation, and ensure content addressability guarantees
  • Implement fault tolerance, versioning, and update propagation logic
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and help push UltaHost toward decentralized infrastructure leadership

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience building and managing distributed systems
  • Strong understanding of IPFS internals, DHT, content addressing, and CID mechanics
  • Experience with peer-to-peer protocols such as libp2p or BitTorrent
  • Advanced skills in Go, Rust, or Python
  • Solid background in Linux systems, networking, and distributed file systems
  • Experience building or contributing to decentralized storage or compute platforms
  • Understanding of container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm)
  • Comfortable with performance profiling, debugging, and low-level optimization

Nice to have

  • Contributions to IPFS, Filecoin, or related open-source projects
  • Experience building decentralized CDN or similar high-throughput P2P systems
  • Familiarity with blockchain-integrated storage logic such as on-chain pin records or tokenized access control
  • Background in network simulation or modeling tools to analyze protocol behavior

What we offer

  • Competitive salary with bonus and Web3 equity/token options
  • Fully remote work
  • Opportunity to build infrastructure used by millions of developers and creators
  • Work at the frontier of decentralized tech alongside an ambitious and fast-moving team
