Trabajos remotos de criptografía - Remoto

Research Cryptographer & Mathematician Employment type: 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 OS architecture) and Namada (a proof-of-stake L1 focused on interchain privacy). Applicants must be based in Europe (including the UK) and be willing to travel to Berlin for initial onboarding. Responsibilities: - Design new cryptographic protocols (e.g. shielded state sync) to meet specified information flow, security, and performance goals. - Evaluate and analyze existing proof systems (e.g. zkSNARKs/zkSTARKs such as 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 for protocol designs and collaborate with engineers on implementations. - Implement, review, and test cryptographic operations and protocols, primarily in Rust. Requirements: - Mathematical and/or cryptographic background in relevant subfields (complexity theory, abstract algebra, protocol design). - Expertise in constructive protocol design and analysis of distributed cryptographic protocols. - Demonstrated protocol design experience (research paper, experimental project, past work, or detailed technical writeups). Nice to have: - Published papers in mathematics, theoretical CS, or cryptography. - Experience with distributed systems and/or operating systems architecture/design. - Experience with Zerocash/Zexe/VeriZexe and related architectures. - Academic qualifications in cryptography or mathematics. Stack: zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, threshold encryption, distributed key generation, elliptic curves, hash functions, Rust, Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM, Arkworks, Zerocash/Zexe/VeriZexe Benefits: - Remote-first company culture and a high degree of independence in work and task prioritization. - Relocation assistance to Germany (including visa assistance) and support for onboarding travel to Berlin. 📩 Apply
