We’re looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated engineer to help us build the verifiable Internet. As a core team member, you will gain ownership over our web products, as well as the ability to influence the creation, design, and execution of future products.
About Nexus
The Nexus Project is a scientific and engineering effort bringing truth to the field of computation. We’re enabling bringing to life a new form of compute: verifiable computation, powered by open science and open-source software so it can benefit everyone. Our work aims to bring to life decades of advancements in zero-knowledge cryptography, achieved by many scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, into a single software system.
Nexus raised $25M in Series A funding, co-led by Lightspeed and Pantera, with participation from Dragonfly, SV Angel and more.
Our team consists of some of the world's top cryptographers, mathematicians, and engineers, all working together with one goal: to unite the world's computers and prove humanity's computations.
We are headquartered at the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, and this role will be in-person, with the rest of the Nexus team.
Responsibilities
Write high quality and well tested code, and review code from other team members.
Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers to turn requirements into products and lead the execution end to end.
Provide guidance and technical leadership to peers in navigating architectural and coding tradeoffs.
Take charge of driving strategic technical initiatives across engineering pods that impact the entire engineering organization.
Requirements
6+ years of software engineering experience
Excellent coding skills, deep understanding of cloud architectures, algorithms, and strong debugging capabilities.
Consistently manage projects comprehensively, starting from gathering requirements and designing, to debugging and testing, and finally to release management and operational monitoring.
Design, build, and maintain a large-scale production system on the cloud, ensuring smooth operation and high availability.
Be able to build systems from the ground up, on a 0→1 fashion.
Desire to keep up with modern best practices in software development/Web3, and shape our tech stack as we build out new systems and services.
Mentored junior engineers
Nice to have
Has previously been a Technical Lead
Prior experience with time-series based monitoring / observability systems
Degree in computer science
Experience with Typescript
Experience with GCP, AWS, and/or Azure
Love for science and computation :)
Benefits
Competitive salary and generous equity compensation
Health insurance for employees and their dependents
Lunch and dinner provided at the office
Company-paid travel to events and conferences
We recognize the benefits of building a diverse and inclusive team and aspire to embed respect for all people and cultures.
What is Zero-knowledge?
Zero-knowledge is a concept in cryptography that allows two parties to exchange information without revealing any additional information beyond what is necessary to prove a particular fact
In other words, zero-knowledge is a way of proving something without actually revealing any details about the proof
Here are some examples of zero-knowledge:
- Password authentication: When you enter your password to log into an online account, the server doesn't actually know your password. Instead, it checks to see if the hash of your password matches the stored hash in its database. This is a form of zero-knowledge because the server doesn't know your actual password, just the hash that proves you know the correct password.
- Sudoku puzzles: Suppose you want to prove to someone that you've solved a particularly difficult Sudoku puzzle. You could do this by providing them with the completed puzzle, but that would reveal how you solved it. Instead, you could use a zero-knowledge proof where you demonstrate that you know the solution without actually revealing the solution itself.
- Bitcoin transactions: In a Bitcoin transaction, you prove that you have ownership of a certain amount of Bitcoin without revealing your private key. This is done using a zero-knowledge proof called a Schnorr signature, which allows you to prove ownership of a specific transaction output without revealing the private key associated with that output.
- Secure messaging: In a secure messaging app, you can prove to your contacts that you have access to a shared secret without revealing the secret itself. This is done using a zero-knowledge proof, which allows you to prove that you have access to the secret without actually revealing what the secret is.
