The role offers a chance to work and develop in an interactive Elixir codebase.
Role Overview
The systems of coordination and finance in our world today are not private enough for safe use by citizens, corporations, or dissidents. Heliax is looking for a senior engineer interested in helping us quickly, safely, and performantly implement the distributed operating system Anoma. As a member of the Anoma engineering team, you will be working on distributed ledger technology implemented in Elixir, all the way up and down the stack from the P2P layer to consensus algorithms, transaction execution systems, and privacy-enhancing cryptographic components.
This role offers the chance to work closely with experts and researchers in various domains. From cryptography to distributed systems research, a good sample of the work we do can be found on our Anoma Research Topics page. The job of Anoma engineering is often to help synthesise ideas found in research into an integrated system. In practice, this means that the role will include giving feedback to researchers about their designs, shaping their research to help fit an integrated system, and ultimately implementing the ideas in Elixir.
The role offers a chance to work and develop in an interactive Elixir codebase. In particular, we encourage tooling (visual or otherwise) that can help explain the system to others.

About Heliax Heliax is a remote-first public goods lab which researches, develops, deploys, and maintains open-source protocols & mechanisms designed to serve the everyday needs of humanity. Using this, we build vertically integrated open-source products and networks that form coherent open systems which are capable of acting as an alternative to existing exploitative paradigms. With team members located around the world, our work culture is characterized by open-allocation, where team members have a high degree of freedom and autonomy in choosing when to work, what to work on, and whom to work with. Heliax’ work include the Anoma protocol, a novel architecture for blockchains that enables a declarative paradigm for decentralized applications; Namada, a proof-of-stake L1 for interchain asset-agnostic privacy; Juvix and Vamp-ir, in the domain of languages for dApps and ZK circuits.
