Full Stack Jobs at Aztec

Role focus:

Our SDK is the library that runs in the browser, enabling dapp developers to integrate with the Aztec network. It’s a complex piece of software that uses a lot of deep browser technology for state management and proof construction parallelisation. It’s resource heavy, both in terms of memory, and cpu usage. It will need careful attention to ensure it can handle a network processing many thousands of transactions per day. We’re looking for engineers with specific deep browser experience to:

• Improve the performance of the SDK, be it by reducing network data transmission for synchronisation, internal scheduling of jobs over workers, reduction in memory footprint etc.
• Ensure the SDK can run is many browser environments as possible, including on mobile, where resources are even further constrained.
• Investigate / implement ECC scalar multiplication code on GPU’s via WebGL or equivalent, if possible.
• Paying very close attention to the API to ensure a simple developer experience. Documenting where necessary.
• Extending the SDK to support new features, such as new signature schemes, atomic transactions for trading, and more.
• Building an Ethereum RPC adapter to enable certain transactions to take place with a drop-in replacement Ethereum provider.
• Integrate our next generation smart contract language compiler Noir into the SDK to enable arbitrary proof construction.

Desired skills:

• 5+ years engineering experience.
• 2+ years of Typescript experience.
• Deep browser tech experience e.g indexedDB, WebGL, Web/SharedWorkers, WebAssembly, etc.
• Demonstrable experience pushing the limits of the browser and optimising accordingly.
• Fluent in English with excellent communication skills.
