This is a part‑time equity/token‑based co‑founder opportunity. You will receive equity in Launch Legends, Autheo, and the WFO Creator Network, along with token allocations in the Autheo blockchain. We have already completed an initial financing round to support infrastructure and marketing, and are currently in discussions with VCs and crypto investors to fund expansion and salaries. Salaried compensation is expected to begin within 4–5 months, following our node, token sales or funding.

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Linux & Kernel Engineer to join our pioneering team as an Equity Co‑Founder at the forefront of native blockchain execution. At Autheo, we are building the platform that redefines decentralized computation, delivering sub‑microsecond execution speeds, billions of transactions per second throughput, and mathematically proven security against adversaries.

You will own the hardened, real‑time Linux kernel that powers every Autheo node worldwide — delivering 0.4 µs encrypted syscalls at 1 B+ TPS, native FHE and zk‑proof acceleration, SGX/Trust Zone integration, DAG scheduling, and 80 % state compression — while running on bare‑metal DePIN clusters and achieving nation‑state resistance.

• Ship custom kernel achieving 0.4 µs encrypted syscall latency at 1 B+ TPS
• Implement DAG‑based real‑time scheduler with zero re‑execution overhead
• Embed CKKS/BFV fully homomorphic encryption directly in kernel for encrypted computation
• Build in‑kernel zk‑proof generation and verification (1–5 ms) for system calls
• Integrate SGX and ARM Trust Zone with 1 TB sealed memory and remote attestation
• Deliver kernel‑level post‑quantum networking stack (Kyber + Dilithium) at
