Research Cryptographer & Mathematician
Full-time/Company: Heliax
Heliax is a remote-first company that researches, develops, deploys, and maintains open-source protocols and mechanisms and builds vertically integrated open-source products and networks. Their work includes Anoma (an intent-centric distributed OS architecture) and Namada (a PoS L1 focused on privacy and interchain asset-agnostic privacy).
Applicants must be based in Europe (including the UK) and willing to travel to Berlin for initial onboarding.
Responsibilities:
- Design new cryptographic protocols to achieve specified information flow, security, and performance goals.
- Evaluate and analyze zkSNARK/zkSTARK proof systems and other cryptographic protocols for security and performance.
- Update, reimplement, and combine existing cryptographic protocols for proofs-of-concept and production.
- Produce comprehensive technical specifications and collaborate with engineers on implementations.
- Implement, review, and test cryptographic operations and protocols, primarily in Rust.
Requirements:
- Strong mathematical and/or cryptographic background (e.g. complexity theory, abstract algebra, protocol design).
- Expertise in constructive protocol design and analysis of distributed cryptographic protocols.
- Demonstrable work: research papers, experimental projects, past work, or detailed designs/blog posts.
Nice to have:
- Published papers in mathematics, theoretical CS, or cryptography.
- Experience with distributed systems or OS architecture/design.
- Experience with Zerocash/Zexe/VeriZexe and related architectures.
- Academic qualifications in a relevant field.
Stack:
Rust, zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM, Arkworks, Zerocash/Zexe/VeriZexe, elliptic-curve cryptography, threshold encryption
Benefits:
- Relocation assistance to Germany (including visa help).
