Nexus: Enabling Verifiable Computing

Founded at Stanford in 2022, Nexus is a scientific effort enabling large-scale verifiable computing, powered by zero-knowledge proofs.

Nexus is an open scientific project, attempting to culminate decades of research in cryptography, mathematics and computer science, into the first general-purpose system for verifiable computation: The Nexus zkVM.

Our team consists of some of the world's top cryptographers, mathematicians, and engineers, all working together with one goal: to unite the world's computers and prove all of humanity's computation.

Job Overview

We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Cryptography Engineer to join our team. As a Senior Cryptography Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, implementing cutting-edge zero-knowledge proof systems and other cryptographic protocols, as well as contributing robust, safe and high-performance production-grade code, primarily in Rust.

In particular, we seek candidates with extremely strong mathematics background, and who are excited to shape the future of computation.

Responsibilities
  1. Implement Advanced Zero-Knowledge Cryptography:

    • Implement cutting-edge high-performance zero-knowledge proof systems, vector/polynomial commitment schemes, lookup arguments, arithmetic circuits, and varied types of zkSNARKs / zkSTARKs in Rust.

  2. Research and Implementation:

    • Be at the frontiers of cryptography and follow the latest advancements in cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs research.

  3. Communication and Collaboration:

    • Collaborate effectively and fast with our research and engineering teams, ensuring seamless integration with the product, partners and clients.

Qualifications
  1. Education:

    • Master's or Ph.D. in Cryptography, Formal Methods, or a related field of Computer Science. Ph.D.s in Theoretical / Applied Physics and Mathematics are also welcome.

  2. Experience:

    • Expert experience with Rust, having shipped production-level code. Proficiency in C/C++/Go is also considered.

    • Experience implementing production-grade cryptography.

  3. Skills:

    • Excellent communication skills and the ability to convey complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

    • Embrace a high-energy startup mentality, and be ready to thrive in the dynamic and fast-paced landscape of the zero-knowledge industry and scientific advancements.

Benefits
  1. Competitive salary and equity compensation.

  2. Immerse yourself in a dynamic startup culture where creativity is highly encouraged, and where autonomy and meritocracy are highly valued.

  3. Be a part of a foundational transformation of the future of computation.

This role is an in-office position in San Francisco. For candidates based outside of San Francisco, we will offer relocation assistance.

Don't meet all the qualifications? We still encourage you to apply if you're passionate about cryptography and eager to learn and contribute to our mission.
