Nexedi is looking for a trainee to create a prototype of a Web Mesh Network developing a serverless solution accounting for low bandwidth and high latency. You will have to setup a WAN with optimized routing on top of WebRTC focussing on ways to reach edges of the network reliably and optimizing routes for exchange of data like our software Re6st is doing – but all inside the browser using our libraries renderjs and jIO.

Opportunities:

• Find ways to create a browser based mesh network
• Investigate ways to synchronise data from edge to edge
• Extend the jIO sync functionality with different synchronization algorithms

Responsibilities:

• Master our front end libraries RenderJS and jIO JavaScript
• Learn how to build a serverless resilient mesh network in the browser

Requirements:

• Passionate, self-driven
• Willingness to contribute to an open source ecosystem and the Free Software community
