## About the role

You'll own Wizlink end to end. You'll design the sync and data model for .wiz project state, ship cloud projects to Story's team, then turn on CRDT multiplayer. You'll work hand in hand with Sam Mills on Wizard Headless and Harry Pal on the open .wiz format, and with our web engineers on WizReview. Design a multiplayer-ready data model for timelines, graphs, and media references. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Production sync experience: you've shipped real-time sync or collaboration that people used every day
- Distributed systems depth: consistency models, replication, CRDTs or OT, and failure modes, from first principles
- Deep software fundamentals: memory management, concurrency, data structures, and system design. You can defend the engineering decisions you make
- Comfort across languages: C++ on the client, plus a systems language such as Rust or Go for services
- AI-assisted engineering: deep experience using AI coding tools to build and ship software
