We are headquartered in San Francisco, and this role will be in-person with the rest of the Nexus team.

  • Integrate zkVM and verifiable compute R&D into the chain (e.g., Rust).

  • Write and audit smart contracts in Solidity, ensuring security best practices.

  • Collaborate with Nexus partners to build and expand the ecosystem.

Requirements

  • Experience building Layer 1 blockchains or deep expertise in distributed systems.

  • Proficiency in Rust, Golang, or equivalent.

  • Strong passion for consensus protocols, ZK, and cryptography.

  • Open-source contributions and a desire to work in an open, transparent environment.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with programming competitions or math Olympiads.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to spearhead new projects.

  • Experience with zero-knowledge proofs and zkVM concepts.
