What we do
RISC Zero is on a mission to fix the internet. We're a diverse group of hackers, futurists, and nerds dedicated to making the internet the place we all deserve. We've already built the world's first zero knowledge virtual machine capable of running arbitrary code as a zero knowledge proof. We're now building an ecosystem on top of it.
We have a transparent pay structure with above market salaries and premium benefits. We've all been part of many startups before, so we care a lot about making sure everyone is treated fairly - when it comes to equity, founders have no meaningful advantage over the rest of the employees. You'll have a tremendous ability to take part in changing the world, and we believe that deserves meaningful ownership.
What you'll do
RISC Zero is seeking a Business Development Associate to help us secure important partnerships, developer relationships, and to promote the use of our Layer 1 protocol. We are seeking people with a deep knowledge and understanding of blockchain technology. Â
Who you are
We’re looking for someone who is obsessive and nerdy with a great sense of humor. We are looking for someone self directed with a history of getting up to speed quickly on complex technical topics. We’re looking for people who are great explainers and even better listeners. We want passionate people who know how to work closely with a team, who are competitive with themselves, and who know how to push for fast growth while also staying organized.Â
This role will consist of both managing inbound and pursuing outbound conversations around the utilization of RISC Zero’s layer 1 blockchain protocol as a base layer for developers of a variety of blockchain based applications. Application sectors we are focused on include gaming, financial services, social media, and any consumer or B2B applications that require fast, cheap, trustless computation services.Â
You will work closely with Ash Schap, our Chief Strategy Officer who has led growth at Uniswap and MakerDao. You will be joining a fast growing team with upward mobility and room for advancement. RISC Zero is a remote-first working environment which means you are able to work from anywhere.Â
Requirements
- 4+ years experience in sales, business development or growth focused roles
- 1+ years of blockchain experienceÂ
- Excellent communication skills
- Fantastic organization skillsÂ
- Self-starterÂ
- Strong writing skillsÂ
Nice to have
- Familiarity with cloud servicesÂ
- A technical background (e.g. CS degree, code school)
- Management experience
That said, we're looking for people who love this problem and are dedicated to making it work. If you don't perfectly match the description but you're still interested - apply anyways. We're always ready to bring on great people, even if we weren't expecting it.

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.
