These are positions that are continuously open for applications, reflecting our ongoing need for top talent in critical fields. By applying to an evergreen role, you're joining our talent pool for future opportunities.
About the role: An ideal candidate is a trained cryptographer with publications on top cryptography, security or blockchain venues. Such candidates should be able to work in a distributed research team, express their research ideas clearly, and know how to formally argue their findings, e.g., by writing security proofs. We appreciate candidates who are not afraid of voicing their opinions and motivate them or ask for explanations of concepts they are not familiar with.
Responsibilities:
As a cryptography researcher, you will participate in cryptographic research on topics such as, for example:
Zero-knowledge proofs, esp. zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, folding schemes, lookup arguments
Threshold encryption and signatures schemes.
Witness encryption
Must Haves:
Knowledge of cryptographic primitives, like threshold signatures, zero-knowledge proofs, folding schemes, lookup arguments, and witness encryption.
Ability to express thoughts precisely
Nice to Haves: Engineering skills to make a proof of concept implementation of the invented protocols.
What Happens Next? Your application remains active in our system for future consideration as our talent team regularly reviews applications for evergreen roles and will contact promising candidates. We may contact you about current openings or future opportunities that match your skills. Feel free to update your application or apply for other roles at any time.
