Remote Entry Level Jobs in Web3

About Us

At Aztec Labs, we believe privacy isn’t just a fundamental right but a creative force for Web3. Our goal is to unleash the full potential of decentralised technologies by building an open, privacy-first network with no compromises.

Privacy enables use cases that would otherwise be impossible and accelerates mainstream adoption. The next wave of Web3 applications will require programmable privacy. Aztec Labs’s technology empowers developers with the tools to build private applications and bring their ideas to reality.

Our journey started while building an application to bring syndicated loans on the chain. We realised that our idea was a nonstarter without privacy. There were no solutions to offer privacy on public blockchains, so we sought to build it ourselves. Since then, we've made industry-leading advances in cryptography and deployed a private money platform and a private DeFi platform.

To realise our vision of implementing privacy on a public blockchain, we are building a world-class team of cryptographers, engineers, and ecosystem builders. We’ve raised $125 million from industry-leading investors, including a16z crypto, Paradigm, Variant, Consensys, and a_capital, and we’re growing quickly.
