Need to haves

📍Mastery of at least one zk-SNARK/zk-STARK proof system (e.g., PLONK, HALO/HALO2, Groth16, Bulletproofs), or a strong enough technical background to understand one (and this should have some direct connection to cryptography) 📍Ability to code and develop software. You should have experience with at least one major language, like Rust, Python, Java, or C; the exact language is not too important. You should be familiar with versioning software (specifically, GitHub), testing, and a familiarity with algorithms and data structures. 📍Knowledge of cryptographic primitives or concepts, like elliptic curve cryptography, hash functions, and PCPs. 📍Ability to read and interpret academic papers 📍Ability to communicate ideas 📍Partial availability (2-6h) during EST work hours to allow for communication with the team.
