Cryptographic Implementation: Develop and optimize core cryptographic functionalities, ensuring robustness and efficiency.
Security & Performance: Implement cryptographic solutions that balance security with high-performance execution.
Research Application: Translate advanced cryptographic research into practical, real-world implementations, particularly in areas like Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Multi-Party Computation (MPC).
System Integration: Seamlessly incorporate cryptographic protocols into broader system architectures for secure data handling and privacy-preserving computation.
Code Maintenance: Maintain, debug, and enhance cryptographic libraries, keeping them aligned with the latest security standards and best practices.
Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams to design and implement cryptographic solutions that align with product needs and privacy requirements.

Requirements:

Experience:
5+ years in software engineering, with at least 3 years of cryptography-focused development.
Strong hands-on experience with Rust.

Technical Skills:

Expertise in advanced cryptographic technologies such as ZKPs, FHE, and MPC.

Deep understanding of cryptographic principles, security protocols, and privacy-preserving technologies.

Innovation in Cryptography:

Proven ability to work with emerging cryptographic techniques and apply them to real-world use cases.

Problem-Solving Ability:

Strong analytical skills to tackle complex cryptographic challenges and ensure system integrity.

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cryptography, Mathematics, or equivalent experience.

Additional Considerations:

Experience contributing to open-source cryptography projects or academic research.
Familiarity with blockchain or distributed systems where cryptography is integral.
Passion for staying ahead of cryptographic trends and continuously learning new methodologies.
