Trabajos remotos de criptografía - Remoto

Research Cryptographer & Mathematician Full-time/Company: Heliax Heliax is a remote-first company which researches, develops, deploys, and maintains open-source protocols and mechanisms to serve everyday needs. They build vertically integrated open-source products and networks such as Anoma (an intent-centric distributed OS) and Namada (a privacy-focused proof-of-stake L1). 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 achieve specified information flow, security, and performance goals. - Evaluate and analyze zkSNARK/zkSTARK proof systems (e.g. Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM) for security, expressivity, and performance. - Update, alter, reimplement, and combine cryptographic protocols for proofs-of-concept and production use-cases. - Produce comprehensive technical specifications and collaborate with engineers on implementations. - Implement, review, and test cryptographic operations & protocols, primarily in Rust; evaluate implementations for correctness and performance. Requirements: - Strong mathematical and/or cryptographic background (complexity theory, abstract algebra, cryptographic protocol design). - Expertise in constructive protocol design and analysis of distributed cryptographic protocols. - Experience implementing and evaluating cryptographic implementations for correctness and performance. - Familiarity with Rust for implementing cryptographic protocols. - Ability to produce detailed technical specifications and work closely with engineering teams. Nice to have: - Published papers in mathematics, theoretical CS, and/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: Rust, zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM, Arkworks, elliptic curves, hash functions Benefits: - Relocation assistance to Germany (e.g. visa assistance). - High degree of independence in working conditions. 📩 Apply
