Research Engineer

We’re working with an applied research and engineering lab operating at the intersection of cryptography, blockchain, and emerging technologies. The team focuses on building forward-compatible security infrastructure to protect digital assets, combining applied research with production-ready tooling used across leading ecosystems.
‍

The Role

As a Research Engineer, you’ll join a growing R&D Engineering team working on cutting-edge research that directly informs real-world products. You’ll help shape next-generation cryptographic systems while ensuring research outcomes are practical, secure, and ready for production. This is a full-time, fully remote role based in Europe (GMT–GMT+2).
‍

What You’ll Do

• Research, design, and build high-fidelity proof-of-concepts
• Provide cryptographic guidance and protocol-level support to product teams
• Uphold rigorous security and cryptographic best practices
• Own key R&D initiatives and drive external contributions
• Support partners through post-quantum migration efforts
• Track emerging threats and new cryptographic primitives
• Translate complex research into clear technical content and documentation
  ‍

What You Bring

• Strong experience with Rust or similar systems languages
• Solidity experience shipping secure smart contracts
• TypeScript experience building production tooling or applications
• Deep understanding of cryptographic primitives and real-world constraints
• Strong knowledge of EVM internals and cross-chain ecosystems
• Proven problem-solving ability and strong technical writing skills
• Public contributions to the blockchain or cryptography ecosystem
  ‍

Nice to Have

• ERC-4337 / account abstraction knowledge
• Experience with post-quantum cryptography
• Protocol or decentralised identity experience
• Frontend experience (React or similar)
• Formal verification or AI-assisted research experience
