Responsibilities

📍Protocol Engineering: Design and implement secure and efficient bridging protocols based on zero knowledge primitives. 📍Architectural Leadership: Drive key architectural decisions, balancing trade-offs in scalability, performance, and security. 📍Security-First Design: Proactively identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities in cross-chain interactions. 📍Mentorship & Collaboration: Provide technical guidance to junior engineers, and work closely with the broader engineering, research, and product teams. 📍Lead by Example: Set high standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and effective communication.

Who You Are

📍Experienced Engineer: 5+ years of backend or systems-level programming experience working in both Rust and Golang. 📍Understanding of solidity is a bonus. 📍Knowledgeable on Bridging: You’re familiar with current interoperability protocols in web3, specifically Hyperlane and are opinionated about what designs have the best properties for what users want. 📍Knowledgeable on Zero Knowledge: Familiarity with designing and hands-on coding experience at implementing circuits, specifically using sp1 and risc0. You should be aware of tradeoffs in performance and efficiency between different designs and algorithms. 📍Security-Conscious: Deep understanding of secure systems design, particularly around adversarial environments. 📍Self-Directed: You’re highly autonomous and able to identify and own high-impact work. 📍Problem-Solver: Skilled at identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks and security gaps with effective solutions. 📍Technical Leader: Known for setting technical direction, mentoring team members, and driving projects to success.

The crypto industry is evolving rapidly, offering new opportunities in blockchain, web3, and remote crypto roles — don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
