Equity Only – Remote – Pre-Seed – Patent-Backed – Stealth Mode


About NIOV Labs


NIOV Labs is a bold new venture building what comes next at the convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain. We’re assembling a world-class founding team to build an intelligent infrastructure powered by privacy, ownership, and autonomy.


Our protocol is being built with Polygon CDK, and we’re bringing together some of the sharpest minds across AI, machine learning, and cryptographic systems. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new category before the rest of the world even knows it exists.


We’re operating in stealth, with patents already filed and more in development. This is your chance to own early equity in what could become a generational protocol.


⸝


Your Role


As a Founding Polygon Blockchain Developer, you’ll be one of the key builders behind our L2 chain using Polygon CDK. You’ll work alongside elite AI researchers and engineers to help build core infrastructure from the ground up.


You’ll bring deep Polygon and smart contract experience to the table, along with a willingness to move fast, explore edge cases, and work closely with our CTO and Founder on protocol strategy and implementation.


⸝


What We’re Looking For

• Experience with Polygon CDK, rollups, zkEVMs, or L2 blockchain architectures.

• Strong Solidity development and smart contract deployment experience.

• Comfortable architecting blockchain infrastructure from scratch.

• Familiarity with privacy layers, zero-knowledge cryptography, or token economics a plus.

• Bonus: Any exposure to AI models, agent communication, or LLM integration.

• Startup mentality: eager to move fast, collaborate, and help define something new.


⸝


Why You Should Join

• Equity in a patent-backed AI x blockchain company at the ground floor.

• Work with PhDs, engineers, AI researchers, and product designers obsessed with building what’s next.

• Use your skills on something that could redefine how intelligence, ownership, and privacy work online.

• Be part of a founding team that operates with intensity, integrity, and innovation at its core.


⸝


Let’s Be Clear


This is an equity-only opportunity. No cash comp at this stage. If that’s a deal-breaker, we understand. But if you’re looking to own the protocol you help build and want to work with people swinging for the fences, this is your moment.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
