Lagrange Labs is looking to hire a Cryptography Engineer to join our fast growing research team. The ideal candidate would have familiarity developing production level zero-knowledge proof systems in Rust.
Our team (https://www.lagrange.dev/) is currently building ZK MapReduce, a novel proof system that is designed for concurrently proving large-scale batch storage inclusion and dynamic MapReduce >
Recproofs are optimized for onchain applications that require computing and efficiently maintain a proof over a moving stream of blocks. Each proof can be updated in logarithmic time whenever the leaves in a subset change or the overall set changes.
Our proofs are already being used to empower new applications ranging from trustless DeFi primitives computed from historical data, to digest transformations for ZK-rollups to verifiable public goods funding based on onchain activity.
The ideal candidate for the cryptography engineering role at Lagrange would have:
- A background in implementing applied cryptographic primitives in Rust (zero-knowledge proofs, elliptic curve cryptography, vector commitments, etc).
- Experience working with modern Rust based proving systems (Plonky2, Nova, Halo2, Bellman, etc).
- An strong understanding of the theoretical basis of zero-knowledge proofs
- An interest in working on low-level optimizations to novel proof constructions and distributed proving systems.
- Experience in writing and maintaining cryptographic libraries in Rust
- Strong written and verbal communications skills
- Independent motivation and an interest in being part of a team building innovative products
- Competitive salary + equity and token package
- Team offsites and conference travel
- Fully remote with flexible hours
- Unlimited vacation policy
- Top-tier health, dental, and vision coverage for US employees
Why Lagrange?
- Opportunity to work alongside other top-tier and passionate researchers and engineers
- Respectful team culture with high individual ownership of your work
- Be a part of developing groundbreaking solutions that can be a key piece of infrastructure for the crypto industry.
- Ability to contribute to high impact research publications
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.
