Jobbeschreibung

=nil; Foundation has been at the forefront of Ethereum scalability solutions since 2018. With a mission to overcome the Ethereum scalability challenge, the team has been working on cutting-edge products such as =nil;’s native Proof Market, zkLLVM, and Placeholder, combining advanced cryptography, zero-knowledge technology, and database management systems.

Now we are looking for an experienced Cryptographer, who has an experience or a strong interest in developing zkProof systems.

Responsibilities

• Developing cryptography algorithms design including proof system design.
• Design circuits for protocols’ state proofs for a proof system.
• Academic writing.
• Security analysis.
• Research other solutions related to proof-system, circuits, other cryptography tasks.

Qualifications

• MS with major in Applied Math or equivalent experience
• Expertise in cryptographic algorithms and primitives
• C++ experience
• Understanding or experience in ZK proof techniques, zk-SNARK circuits or proof systems (for example, Groth16, Halo, Plonk, STARKs, Marlin) is a strong plus
• The language is English, so you’re supposed to be at least B2 level
