We are looking for a   zero-knowledge proof engineer   to join a startup using zero-knowledge proofs to scale smart contract applications. You will implement and optimize cutting-edge cryptographic code for zero-knowledge proof generation. The role will involve both optimizing the prover and implementing novel ZK circuits in Axiom, our first product. Your work will be critical in scaling Axiom to empower smart contract applications to trustlessly access more data and more diverse compute. Your day-to-day work will involve implementing, benchmarking, and optimizing algorithms for cryptographic primitives in Rust. We are looking for someone with strong engineering fundamentals, problem solving skills, and willingness to learn new things. We will provide close mentorship and support to help candidates onboard in the novel fast-moving area of ZK. We expect backgrounds as diverse as high-frequency trading, math/physics/CS academia, and hardware engineering to be relevant....

About Heliax Heliax is a remote-first public goods lab which researches, develops, deploys, and maintains open-source protocols & mechanisms designed to serve the everyday needs of humanity. Using this, we build vertically integrated open-source products and networks that form coherent open systems which are capable of acting as an alternative to existing exploitative paradigms. With team members located around the world, our work culture is characterized by open-allocation, where team members have a high degree of freedom and autonomy in choosing when to work, what to work on, and whom to work with.   Heliax’ work include the Anoma protocol, a novel architecture for blockchains that enables a declarative paradigm for decentralized applications; Namada , a proof-of-stake L1 for interchain asset-agnostic privacy; Juvix and Vamp-ir , in the domain of languages for dApps and ZK circuits. Overview Blockchains are not private enough for...
