Rust Engineer - ZKP

Rust Engineer - ZKP
Up to $275k + .2% Equity | Fully Remote (must already be based in Europe)

We are seeking a highly skilled Rust Engineer to join our team of Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) specialists as a core Engineer. There is no expectation of you knowing all things ZKP, but you need to show some interest in ZK before applying.

Our focus is on driving standards and functionality in the creation of state proofs, underpinning the creation of new use cases and providing improved alternatives to Messaging Protocols, or Bridges. You though just need good experience in Rust and understanding different chains.

The team have over $50 million in funding. Already we have built a team of world-leading specialists who together are architecting and implementing a cross-chain infrastructure that enables generalised state proofs; but in line with further funding injections and broadening team requirements, we are now seeking to expand our core engineering team.

You will hopefully also have:

- Experience working with modern Rust-based systems
- A computer science focused Degree/Masters/PHD
- Preferably an understanding of theoretical ZKPs (or at least a demonstrable interest in this... you do not NEED experience here, we know how niche that is)
- A focus on low-level optimisations through to distributed Rust systems
- Experience in cryptographic libraries (Rust)

These technical skills should also be supported by excellent communication and collaboration skills.

In return, you can expect:

- A salary of up to $275,000 per annum
- An equity package of about .2% (Founders discretion)
- Flexible working hours
