San Francisco, California, United States Succinct Full time

Overview of Our Vision

Zero-knowledge proofs represent a pivotal advancement in blockchain technology, enhancing scalability, interoperability, and privacy. At Succinct, our goal is to simplify the use of zero-knowledge proofs for developers of all skill levels.

Our flagship product, SP1, is an innovative, fully open-source zkVM that delivers performance comparable to bespoke ZK circuits, achieving speeds up to 30 times faster than existing zkVMs. SP1 is a game-changer for the adoption of zero-knowledge proofs, allowing developers to utilize ZKPs through standard Rust programming rather than intricate circuit designs. Additionally, we are developing the Succinct Prover Network, a hosted infrastructure that facilitates proof generation for open-source proof systems.

Leading teams in the blockchain space, such as Polygon, Sovereign, Celestia, Wormhole, Lido, Taiko, EigenLayer, Avail, Near, and Gnosis, are leveraging Succinct's infrastructure to innovate with ZKPs. Our history of delivering high-quality products and advanced technical solutions in zero-knowledge technology has already resulted in substantial revenue.

Recently, we secured $55 million in funding through our Seed and Series A rounds, led by Paradigm, a top investor in the cryptocurrency sector. Our team, though small, is exceptionally talented, and we seek outstanding individuals eager to tackle challenging and meaningful problems in a dynamic environment.

Position Summary

We are in search of a senior GPU engineer responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing software solutions that facilitate GPU acceleration for our zkVM, SP1, and contribute significantly to the evolution of our hardware-accelerated prover network. In this role, you will:

  • Assess and resolve GPU performance constraints
  • Identify performance bottlenecks within both hardware and software
  • Investigate and assess new technologies to enhance system efficiency
  • Monitor SP1's performance in client environments
  • Coordinate with the team to facilitate functional and performance evaluations

Required Qualifications

  • Deep understanding of GPU/CPU architecture
  • Proficient in GPU software stacks (CUDA), compiler technologies, low-level APIs, and operating systems
  • Proactive ownership mentality
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with programming in Rust or C++
  • Background in OS kernel development and/or device driver programming

Work Environment

Our team collaborates in-person, and we prefer candidates who are located in the same area or are willing to relocate, with relocation costs covered. For senior candidates who are an exceptional fit, we may consider remote work arrangements, provided you can onboard in-person initially.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive salary with substantial equity options
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for employees and their families
  • Complimentary lunch and dinner at the office
  • Opportunities for company-sponsored travel to industry events and conferences

We welcome passionate individuals who may not meet every qualification but are eager to learn and grow. We encourage you to reach out or apply to discuss potential opportunities.
