Apply for this job
Autonomys Network, in collaboration with the Subspace Foundation, is supporting an open research effort led by our Technical Co-Founder, on designing a permissionless unbounded sharding protocol. This role is for a Senior Cryptography Researcher with strong expertise in permissionless blockchain consensus protocols and distributed systems.

Research Objective: The goal is to design a permissionless sharding protocol that extends PoAS while maintaining its permissionless property with, ideally, shared security across unbounded number of shards. This work builds upon the Subspace v2 (Dilithium) consensus, which was developed over several years and launched as Autonomys Network. The work is open-ended but with clear milestones, focusing on extending our Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) consensus protocol.

Given this is an open research role, there is flexibility in how the work is structured. We would like to have someone that can commit to a full time contract, but we are open to part time commitments for the right person.

Materials (Research Context):

    • High-level Subspace PoAS consensus overview: https://academy.autonomys.xyz/subspace-protocol/consensus
    • Implementation specifications: https://subspace.github.io/protocol-specs/docs/protocol_specifications
    • Research paper: https://github.com/subspace/consensus-v2-research-paper
    • Preliminary design constraints: https://gist.github.com/nazar-pc/760505c5ad7d56c20b2c75c1484e672f

Research Scope:

    • Propose an initial candidate design of a permissionless sharding protocol with PoAS consensus within one month.
    • Advance to a state in which implementation prototyping can begin within three months.
    • Complete a formalized design with an initial security proof within one year.

Requirements:

    • Strong expertise in permissionless consensus protocols (Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Space) and large-scale distributed systems like public blockchains.
    • Good familiarity with current landscape of blockchain sharding designs and blockchain protocols at large.
    • High agency: solving complex problems, proposing alternatives and novel solutions with minimal to no oversight.
    • Strong communication skills: responsiveness in async communications, timely updates about progress and any roadblocks, and ability to explain complex topics in approachable way.
    • Result-oriented, not process-oriented.
    • Ability to formalize and evaluate properties cryptographic protocols, analyze and extend existing protocols and security proofs.
    • Ability to author research articles and papers.

Is cryptography a good career?

Cryptography can be a very rewarding and fulfilling career for those who are interested in mathematics, computer science, and security

Cryptography is the science of protecting information from unauthorized access or modification, and it plays a critical role in information security

With the increasing need for secure communication and transactions in our digital world, there is a growing demand for professionals with expertise in cryptography

Cryptography professionals can work in a variety of fields, including government agencies, financial institutions, technology companies, and more

Cryptography requires strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as an understanding of algorithms and programming

In addition, communication skills are important, as cryptography professionals often work in teams and must be able to explain complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders

If you have a strong interest in mathematics, computer science, and security, and enjoy solving complex problems, cryptography can be an excellent career choice with many opportunities for growth and advancement.
