Remote Crypto Jobs - Удаленка

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. They build vertically integrated open-source products and networks, including Anoma (an intent-centric distributed OS architecture) 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 to meet specified information flow, security, and performance goals. - Evaluate and analyze existing zkSNARK/zkSTARK proof systems (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 for protocol designs 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, cryptographic protocol design). - Expertise in constructive protocol design and analysis of distributed cryptographic protocols. - Demonstrable examples of protocol design work (research papers, experiments, past projects, or detailed write-ups). - Experience implementing or evaluating cryptographic code, preferably in Rust. Nice to have: - Published papers in mathematics, theoretical CS, or cryptography. - Experience with distributed systems and/or operating systems architecture. - Experience with Zerocash/Zexe/VeriZexe or related architectures. - Academic qualifications in cryptography or mathematics. Stack: Rust, zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, Halo2, ProtoStar, Risc0 zkVM, Arkworks, elliptic curves Benefits: - Relocation assistance to Germany (e.g. visa assistance) 📩 Apply
