Cryptography Engineer

We are looking for a hands-on cryptography engineer or experienced software developer to join our core engineering team and work on privacy-first, next-generation blockchain technology. Our stack is primarily built in Rust (with some components in C++), and we use zero-knowledge proofs, elliptic curve cryptography, and other cutting-edge cryptographic techniques.

Please note: this role operates within the European time zone

Who you are

You are either:

• An experienced software engineer (strong in Rust) with a deep interest in applied cryptography; or
• A security auditor/cryptography researcher experienced in reviewing and analyzing cryptographic implementations, and practical programming experience in real-world codebases.

What you’ll do:

• Contribute to the design and implementation of advanced cryptographic protocols.
• Work closely with researchers and engineers to translate theory into production-grade code.
• Take part in internal and external reviews of cryptographic primitives and implementations.
• Participate in collaborations with academic and industry partners.
• Audit cutting-edge cryptographic libraries.
• Apply FV methods on highly sensitive codebases.

What we’re looking for

• Strong programming experience in Rust.
• Understanding of applied cryptography and familiarity with concepts like ZKPs, elliptic curves, and blockchain protocols.
• Curiosity and drive to learn new cryptographic tools and frameworks.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.

Bonus points

• Experience in auditing or verifying cryptographic codebases.
• Contributions to open-source cryptography or blockchain projects.
• Publications or participation in cryptography research communities.
• Familiarity with formal verification methods with emphasis on cryptography.
