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 OS architecture) and Namada (a proof-of-stake L1 focused on 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 properties. - Evaluate and analyze existing cryptographic protocols and zk proof systems (e.g. Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM) for security, expressivity, and performance. - Update, alter, reimplement, and combine existing 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 and protocols, primarily in Rust. Requirements: - Mathematical and/or cryptographic background in areas such as complexity theory, abstract algebra, and protocol design. - Expertise (formal or informal) in constructive protocol design and analysis of distributed cryptographic protocols. - Experience implementing or evaluating cryptographic operations and protocols, with familiarity working in Rust. Nice to have: - Published papers in mathematics, theoretical CS, or cryptography. - Experience with distributed systems and/or operating systems architecture/design. - Familiarity with Zerocash/Zexe/VeriZexe and related architectures. - Academic qualifications in cryptography or mathematics. Stack: Rust, zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, 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 support) and support for initial onboarding in Berlin. - Opportunity to work closely with a small, cross-disciplinary research and engineering team. 📩 Apply
