Senior Software Engineer, Cryptography

As Software Engineer, Cryptography you will own foundational features of the platform that runs the network and the solution built on top of the network. You will build the next generation of peer-to-peer software for mission critical applications using technologies such as zk-SNARK, libp2p and Substrate. You will make an impact by working closely with the Chief Technology Officer, cryptographers, architects and blockchain engineers. This is a hands-on role and the ideal candidate will be actively working on the implementation as well as the design.

What you will do:

• Design and implement key components of the Network
• Work with the Chief Technology Officer, architects and engineers to design and implement innovative protocols based on modern cryptographic methods
• Apply cryptography beyond security and deliver business applications which use it at their core to drive business transactions
• Integrate research results into production-grade software
• Engineer smart contracts and zero-knowledge predicates
• Work alongside a cross-functional team including engineering and product
• Educate the team on how to design and build systems with security first

What you will need:

• In-depth knowledge of applied cryptography
• Demonstrated ability to implement cryptographic protocols
• Significant experience building secure applications, including the use of cryptographic libraries
• Knowledge of the latest attack trends, tools and the threat landscape
• Proven track record of independently driving projects in a fast-paced environment
• Experience with fundamental systems languages, modern technologies and functional programming, including Rust, C and C++.
• Familiarity with blockchain-related technologies, such as Substrate and libp2p
• Proven experience with working on emerging technologies
• At least 5 years of hands-on software engineering experience
• BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
