  • Experience: Previous work in ZK rollups, industry research, or crypto infrastructure projects is highly valued.
  • Programming: Proficiency in Rust and/or C/C++ for low-level programming, distributed systems, and compiler knowledge is a plus.
  • Client-Facing Aptitude: Comfortable communicating complex cryptographic concepts to clients and participating in technical discussions during client meetings.
  • Sales & Business Collaboration: Ability to work closely with business development teams to align cryptographic benchmarks with client needs.
  • Research Mindset: Although a cryptography research background is preferred, candidates should have practical engineering experience and a strong drive to learn.
  • Education: BS or MS in Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field. Advanced degree preferred.
