Are you the one?
An ideal candidate is a trained cryptographer with publications on top cryptography, security or blockchain venues. Such candidates should be able to work in a distributed research team, express their research ideas clearly, and know how to formally argue their findings, e.g., by writing security proofs. We appreciate candidates that are not afraid of voicing their opinions and motivate them or ask for explanations of concepts they are not familiar with.
Responsibilities:
As acryptography researcher, you will participate in cryptographic research on topics such as, for example:
- Zero-knowledge proofs, esp. zkSNARKs, zkSTARKs, folding schemes, lookup arguments
- Threshold encryption and signatures schemes.
- Witness encryption
Skills:
- Knowledge of cryptographic primitives, like threshold signatures, zero-knowledge proofs, folding schemes, lookup arguments, and witness-encryption.
- Ability to express thoughts precisely
Nice to have: Engineering skills to make a proof of concept implementation of the invented protocols.
Perks and benefits:
- Equity
- Fully remote
- Flexible working hours
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.
