Prover Network: Revolutionizing Proof Generation

Prover Network is at the forefront of developing the infrastructure necessary to meet the increasing demands for proof generation, driven by the growing popularity of zero-knowledge proofs. However, proof generation is a time-consuming process for end users, leading to a poor user experience. On the other hand, proof generation for industrial provers requires them to deploy power-hungry and partially utilized GPUs, making it a challenging task to make the proof generation business economical. Prover Network aims to solve this problem by creating a platform for easy delegation of the proving task.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement core components of Prover Network, including highly optimized communication between clients and GPUs and the consensus protocol.
  • Collaborate closely with Dr. Rao on the design and lead the implementation of the protocol.
  • Build out the necessary team and contribute to shaping the direction of Prover Network's culture and platform.
Requirements
  • Deep familiarity with protocol engineering aspects.
  • Expertise in Rust, including a high comfort level with advanced concepts such as generics, lifetimes, memory management, concurrency, etc.
  • Familiarity with advanced benchmarking and testing frameworks (e.g., prop-testing, fuzzing).
  • Experience in working independently on open-ended problems.
  • A strong sense of responsibility and comfort with autonomous work.
Nice-to-Have
  • Interest in zero-knowledge proof-based blockchain systems.
  • Experience writing smart contracts.
  • Familiarity with the fundamentals of cryptography, such as hash functions and finite fields.
  • A passion for open-source software and an eagerness to learn.
  • A strong interest in privacy.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and equity as an early member of our team.
  • Full benefits package, including healthcare coverage and more to come.
  • Stipend for learning and professional development.
  • Opportunity to work with a driven, talented, dedicated team that values collaboration, innovation, and making a strong positive impact.
  • Culture built upon mutual respect, empathy, learning, and growth.
