location: croatia (planning relocation to central/north asia)

remote: yes

willing to relocate: yes

technologies: Go (7+ years production), LLVM, distributed systems, blockchain protocol design, CSP concurrency, compiler engineering, Nostr protocol, linux systems programming

systems engineer, 7+ years professional Go. no degree - production code is the credential.

currently building moxie, a self-hosting compiler descended from TinyGo. no GC, deterministic scope-based memory management, CSP-pure concurrency via kernel threads with dual-buffer channels. compiles to LLVM IR. soon to be shipping a streaming pipeline architecture that breaks compilation into isolated unix-style phases for bounded memory usage. the compiler compiles itself.

also built and operate a Nostr relay and web app stack (smesh/orly) with NIP-42 AUTH enforcement and MLS encrypted messaging. browser-only, no npm, no bundler, multi-service-worker architecture.

built iskra, a graph-based semantic engine using Bethe/Cayley lattice structure for translation and reasoning - not transformer-based, runs on modest hardware, language-agnostic by design.

looking for: distributed systems, infrastructure, blockchain/protocol engineering, compiler tooling, or anything where Go and systems thinking intersect. remote strongly preferred. comfortable with ambiguity, solo ownership, and building from scratch.
