About Us
Axiom is using zero-knowledge proofs to scale smart contract applications in a new way. We are a small but incredibly strong team backed by the best investors in crypto. We’re looking for exceptional people who are excited to work on challenging and impactful problems in a fast-paced environment. Our office is in NYC and working in person in NY is our strong preference, but we're open to remote candidates as well.
We recently released OpenVM, a performant and modular zkVM framework built for customization and extensibility. OpenVM allows developers to verify the correct execution of Rust code in a flexible and performant way. We are building new products using OpenVM and supporting teams building on OpenVM.
The Role
We are hiring for a Chief of Staff to join the early team at Axiom. We’re looking for a scrappy generalist who can work in‑person with us in New York City and partner directly with the CEO. Your work will stretch across go-to-market, business development, and internal operations to drive excellence across the company.
Your responsibilities will include:
Enabling strategic customer relationships, interfacing directly with founders and functional leads, and guiding pilots to paid contracts.
Building GTM collateral, including sales target lists, sales decks, and product announcements for our blog and Twitter account.
Maintaining finances, coordinating monthly reporting with external accountants, and streamlining invoicing and payments using tools like Ramp.
Overseeing general office management to keep our NYC office productive and welcoming.
Wearing multiple hats for initiatives across the company. This is a generalist role on a small team, and we expect everyone to pitch in across areas.
This is a rare opportunity to have a front row seat in the field of zero-knowledge cryptography, one of the most exciting areas of frontier technology today. If you thrive in an ambiguous, fast‑moving environment and want to build a category‑defining frontier tech company, we’d love to chat.
Who you are
You are a first-principles business thinker able to think critically and make decisions in a new domain in the presence of ambiguity.
You are extremely detail oriented, have high operating standards, and pride yourself on delivering defect-free work.
You communicate clearly and are able to efficiently cover essential information in both written and verbal communications.
You know how to drive projects to completion while prioritizing and managing both internal and external stakeholders.
No experience in crypto or ZK is necessary, but a passion to work in a frontier tech domain is required.
Our Team
Our founders Yi Sun and Jonathan Wang met at Harvard and have been working on ZK since 2021. Before Axiom, Yi was a professor at UChicago Statistics, was an early advisor to several unicorn startups, and worked at an HFT startup from inception to profitable trading. Jonathan published number theory research in top journals during his career at MIT, UChicago, and the Institute of Advanced Study.
Our world-class engineering team includes alums of Applied Intuition, Coinbase, Color, Neon, Google, and Perplexity as well as winners of international olympiads in computing, math, and physics. We look forward to working with you!
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.
