Job Summary

You will work closely with researchers, protocol designers, software architects, and QA teams to ensure cryptographic correctness, performance, and maintainability, with a strong emphasis on high-assurance coding and practical deployment.

📍Collaborate with distributed teams across time zones, taking ownership of assigned tasks and delivering to agreed standards. 📍Design and implement cryptographic constructions, such as digital signatures, zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable random functions (VRFs), commitment schemes, and accumulators. 📍Develop and maintain cryptographic libraries, primarily using Rust and Haskell (with occasional use of C-with attention to safety, clarity, performance, and auditability. 📍Translate academic research and formal specifications into reliable, well-structured production code. 📍Participate in cryptographic design discussions, parameter tuning, and performance benchmarking. 📍Analyse and validate protocol design to ensure security, via properties such as soundness, liveness, and resistance to practical attacks. 📍Troubleshoot, debug, and optimise cryptographic code and its interaction with broader systems. 📍Write and maintain clear documentation, including developer guides and internal design notes. 📍Stay current with developments in cryptography and assess their relevance for ongoing or future projects.

Who you are:

📍Typically, a PhD in Computer Science, Cryptography, Mathematics, or a related field. 📍Proven experience in academic publications. 📍Practical experience in applied cryptographic engineering through academic research, industry work, or open-source contributions. 📍Proven proficiency in Rust (and ideally some Haskell) for systems-level cryptographic development. 📍Experience with version control systems, especially Git, in collaborative development environments. 📍Exposure to cryptography for blockchain, distributed systems, or consensus mechanisms is a plus. 📍Solid mathematical foundation in cryptography, number theory, finite fields, and probability. 📍Ability to work independently in highly-complex cryptographic topics.

The future of finance is here — whether you’re interested in blockchain, cryptocurrency, or remote web3 jobs, there’s a perfect role waiting for you.
