Overview Blockchains are not private enough for safe use by citizens, corporations, or dissidents. Heliax is looking for a research cryptographer interested in fully-homomorphic encryption protocols and their application to distributed ledger technology to work with us to design, evaluate, and implement FHE constructions, then put this cryptography into practice in order to realise privacy and scalability capabilities required by the next generation of blockchain networks. This role offers the chance to work closely with a small team on compelling cross-disciplinary problems in theoretical computer science, cryptography, game theory, economics, and systems design, and enjoy a high degree of independence in working conditions and task prioritization. Responsibilities -Evaluate and analyze existing FHE protocols for security, expressivity, and performance, monitor the state of the research field for compelling new theoretical advances, and conduct original exploratory research...

Overview Blockchains do not scale to a global user-base of seven billion people. Rust engineering at Heliax focuses on building, extending, and maintaining decentralized, permissionless, and censorship-resistant protocols. We are looking for experienced Rust developers that are interested in applying novel research to create high-quality open-source technology and solve outstanding problems in the blockchain space. As a member of the core protocol engineering team, you will be working on distributed ledger technology implemented in Rust, all the way up and down the stack from the P2P layer to consensus algorithms, smart contract systems, proof-of-stake incentive mechanisms, privacy-enhancing cryptographic components, and on-chain governance procedures. This role offers the chance to work closely on compelling cross-disciplinary problems in computer science, systems engineering, cryptography, and economics, and enjoy a high degree of independence in working conditions and...

We are looking for talented cryptographers or developers with strong math background to join our core team. Your task scope will include design and implementation of the latest zero-knowledge proof systems and cryptographic protocols (SNARKs, STARKs, Bulletproofs, etc). 【job requirements】 Strong background in math/cryptography / information security (although most people in our crypto team hold a Ph.D. in cryptography or physics, we do not strictly require a formal academic degree) Proficiency in Rust, C++, Golang, or Python. We are working primarily with Rust, but prior experience with this language is not mandatory Ownership- and results-driven mindset

“It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! Magazine Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine…” Is blockchain real or just a figment of people’s imagination? Come help us discover the next great technology revolution… At Figment, our mission is to create an Internet that is truly decentralized where users can freely interact, share, collaborate, and exchange goods and services in a trustless environment. We offer staking, middleware, and application layer solutions for token holders and developers investing in and building on Web 3 technologies. Together, we can build a better Internet.  About the Role We are seeking a Blockchain Research Analyst to help support and grow our staking business division. Candidates should have a deep curiosity about the potential of blockchain and want to "go deep" on a small number of protocols to become Figment's resident expert on how they work, what is going on with their development communities, and...
