We are looking for a senior smart contract engineer to join a startup using zero-knowledge proofs to scale smart contract applications. You will be responsible for leading development and deployment of the Axiom smart contracts which interface with ZK proofs generated off-chain. This will involve designing and implementing the on-chain API call interface, implementing smart contracts for custom integrations with partners, and implementing a Solidity SDK. Your work will require implementing secure and efficient systems and making design decisions to empower developers using Axiom while maximizing security and auditability.
Your day-to-day work will involve extending and optimizing our core interfaces while supporting custom integrations we build with our partners on top of Axiom. We are looking for someone with knowledge of secure smart contract design patterns, empathy for smart contract developers, and a security mindset. We also value the ability to design tasteful and usable smart contract interfaces.
Qualifications
Fluency with Solidity and the EVM.
Experience with developer tools for smart contract application developers (Hardhat, Foundry).
Experience deploying smart contracts in production.
Security and ownership mindset.
About Us
We empower developers to build novel decentralized applications with the power of ZK. We believe blockchain applications have an unlimited appetite for data and compute, and zero-knowledge proofs are the key to providing it. We are tackling the hard research and engineering problems necessary to make ZK accessible to smart contract developers.
We are a small, well-funded team of researchers and developers backed by leading crypto investors. Our team previously wrote some of the most performant open-source ZK circuits, published number theory research in top mathematics journals, and worked in high frequency trading. Working as part of our team involves:
Working in-person at our New York office (remote possible but not preferred).
Competitive salary, equity, and benefits.
Working closely with a small elite team of researchers and developers.
We hope you will join us in our mission to unleash the power of ZK for crypto applications.
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.
