Virtual Labs is seeking a skilled and dedicated Senior Blockchain Engineer to play an instrumental role in advancing our cutting-edge cryptographic technologies and fostering wider adoption of Web3. Our protocol leverages advanced cryptographic techniques to create more secure, efficient, and transparent Web3 ecosystems.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and deploy a peer-to-peer cryptographic system.
- Implement secure on-chain verification processes and manage efficient off-chain computations.
- Design, build, and maintain secure, efficient, and scalable blockchain infrastructure.
- Work on cryptography advancements to bolster Web3 adoption.
- Troubleshoot and resolve cryptographic and blockchain-related issues.
Requirements:
- Strong proficiency in Rust, Solidity and Typescript. React experience is a huge plus.
- Knowledge of cryptographic primitives.
- Extensive experience with blockchain technologies, smart contract development, and security.
- Understanding of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Multi-Party Computations, commitment, and signature schemes.
- Profound knowledge of Ethereum, EVM-compatible chains, Layer 2 solutions, and related technologies.
- Proven problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and passion for developing robust, secure systems.
In this role, you’ll be an integral part of a dynamic team focused on building next-generation cryptographic technologies to enhance the functionality, security, and user experience of Web3. Your work will help us push the boundaries of current Web3 capabilities and catalyze broader adoption of decentralized systems. Compensation includes salary and competitive equity.
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.
