Compiler Engineer

As a Compiler Engineer, you will work primarily on two areas of our tech stack:

1. Compilation of programs targeting a custom cryptographic processor running on an FPGA

2. Translation of an assembly language into a ZK virtual machine.

You will also work closely with the hardware and cryptography teams to define both the instruction sets and high-level program representations. Being a self-starter is essential, as there are always a variety of challenges that need to be tackled. Your work will have a direct impact on our growth and success.
