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 OverviewWe'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.
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.
Research and Implementation:
Be at the frontiers of cryptography and follow the latest advancements in cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs research.
Communication and Collaboration:
Collaborate effectively and fast with our research and engineering teams, ensuring seamless integration with the product, partners and clients.
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.
Experience:
Expert experience with Rust, having shipped production-level code. Proficiency in C/C++/Go is also considered.
Experience implementing production-grade cryptography.
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.
Competitive salary and equity compensation.
Immerse yourself in a dynamic startup culture where creativity is highly encouraged, and where autonomy and meritocracy are highly valued.
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.
