What We're Building

Succinct is building a secure, decentralized, permissionless interoperability layer for Ethereum and other blockchains, powered by zero-knowledge succinct proofs (zkSNARKs). We are working towards a world where all blockchains can communicate with each other in a trust-minimized way--without any centralized entities or multisigs in-between. Much like zk rollup teams are using zkSNARKs to scale execution, we believe using succinct proofs for scaling verification of consensus ("proof of consensus") can lead to much more secure and decentralized interoperability compared to existing bridging solutions. Given the billions of dollars hacked from bridges in the past year, this one of the most important problems in the entire crypto ecosystem. 

We strongly believe our approach with succinct proofs of consensus is the end game of interoperability. Our team is small and nimble but ambitious. We recently raised a seed round from the best investors in crypto and are building towards a proof-based future that many are excited about. We work in-person in an office in San Francisco, but are willing to be flexible for the right candidate. Join us!

The Role

We are looking for a full-stack engineer who will work on user-facing parts of our product. Our interoperability protocol is ultimately a developer tool that other blockchain developers can integrate with to build cross-chain applications. Building a developer SDK for easy integration and a developer dashboard to view system status information is critical to our protocol's success.

Qualifications

• Experience developing full-stack user-facing blockchain applications end-to-end 

• Experience implementing a polished and performant frontends (React, Next.js)

• Experience with backend systems that read events from, query and write to blockchain state, coupled with a deep understanding of EVM

• Deploying and monitoring high-quality production systems

Nice to have

• Prior experience with Golang (not hard requirement)

• Prior experience with Next.js and Tailwind

Even if the listed qualifications don't seem like an exact match, passionate and enthusiastic people who love to quickly learn are always welcome! Feel free to reach out or apply regardless and we would love to chat.
