The Role

Nomos requires a specialized role to bring in-depth knowledge and experience with ZK proofs and related tools and frameworks. This expertise will facilitate expedited prototyping, research, design of the proving system, and help in developing ZK-friendly solutions for the requirements of multiple components of the Nomos blockchain. The constant flux of tasks, varying in size and scope, requires a team member who can seamlessly integrate into the team and contribute immediately.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop an in-depth understanding of the multi-layered architecture of Nomos and how Zero Knowledge proofs can be effectively utilized at various stages.
  • Collaborate with other researchers and developers to ensure that Nomos's systems and protocols are efficiently designed and implemented.
  • Address and solve upgradeability concerns related to ZK schemes and ensure consensus proofs are ZK-friendly.
  • Design and help implement privacy-centered protocols that require the use of ZK proofs.
  • Evaluate and integrate ZK tools and frameworks to optimize the performance and efficiency of our systems.
  • Stay abreast of the latest developments and trends in the field of Zero Knowledge proofs and blockchain technology.
  • Provide support and guidance to the team on ZK proofs related issues.

You ideally will have

  • A strong technical background, preferably with a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field (PhD-level or equivalent in industry); relevant research experience.
  • Extensive knowledge and experience with Zero Knowledge proofs, cryptography, and blockchain technology.
  • Deep understanding of Zero-Knowledge proof systems (zk-SNARK, circom, Plonk/Halo2, zk-STARK), elliptic curve cryptography, and circuit design.
  • Previous experience in a similar role, where you successfully contributed to the development of complex systems using ZK proofs.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make informed decisions quickly.
  • The ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and communicate complex concepts clearly and effectively.
  • A passion for the blockchain technology and a desire to push the boundaries of what is currently possible.
  • Knowledge of current ZK tools and frameworks, and the ability to learn new tools quickly.

Bonus if

  • Knowledge of other privacy-preserving technologies (MPC, FHE).
  • Distributed systems knowledge.
  • Knowledge or interest in other areas related to blockchain systems.
