Trabajos remotos de criptografía - Remoto

Research Cryptographer & Mathematician Full-time/Company: Heliax Heliax is a remote-first company that researches, develops, deploys, and maintains open-source protocols and mechanisms to serve everyday needs. Their work includes Anoma (an intent-centric distributed operating system architecture) and Namada (a proof-of-stake L1 focused on interchain privacy). Applicants must be based in Europe (including the UK) and willing to travel to Berlin for initial onboarding. Responsibilities: - Design new cryptographic protocols (e.g. shielded state sync) to meet information flow, security, and performance goals. - Evaluate and analyze proof systems (zkSNARKs/zkSTARKs) and implementations (e.g. Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM) for security, expressivity, and performance. - Update, reimplement, and combine existing cryptographic protocols for proofs-of-concept and production use-cases. - Produce comprehensive technical specifications and collaborate with engineers on protocol implementations. - Implement, review, and test cryptographic operations and protocols, primarily in Rust. Requirements: - Mathematical and/or cryptographic background in relevant subfields (e.g. complexity theory, abstract algebra, protocol design). - Expertise (formal or informal) in constructive protocol design and analysis of distributed cryptographic protocols. - Demonstrable protocol design experience (research paper, experimental project, past work, or detailed technical write-up). Nice to have: - Published papers in mathematics, theoretical computer science, and/or cryptography. - Experience with distributed systems and/or operating systems architecture/design. - Experience with Zerocash/Zexe/VeriZexe and related architectures. - Academic qualifications in a relevant field (cryptography or mathematics). Stack: Rust, zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM, Arkworks Benefits: - Relocation assistance to Germany (e.g. visa assistance). - Remote-first role with a high degree of independence in working conditions and task prioritization. - Opportunity to work on open-source protocols and cross-disciplinary research. 📩 Apply
