Senior Applied Mathematician / Researcher (Background in Probabilistic Modeling)
Nomos
Nomos is a new blockchain designed from the ground up with the original cypherpunk ethos: decentralization, censorship resistance, permissionless-ness and privacy. It will serve as the trustless agreements layer of the Logos stack. The forthcoming Nomos network will provide a common infrastructure layer upon which communities and aspiring network states can build social, governance, and financial services that uphold their community members’ fundamental rights and values.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and analyze advanced algorithms for complex systems, focusing on privacy, efficiency and scalability.
  • Understand engineering requirements and translate them into mathematical models for their analysis.
  • Formalize and prove properties of protocols and algorithms currently in development by our team.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, translating theoretical constructs into commercially viable solutions.
  • Lead the applied research efforts, bridging academic rigor with practical, industry-focused outcomes.

    Ideally, you will have
  • Strong background in computer science or applied mathematics: advanced analysis of algorithms, complex systems and/or stochastic processes.
  • Proven track record of using advanced mathematical tools to tackle real-world problems.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly both in written and verbal form.
  • Experience with or strong interest in blockchain, cryptography, distributed systems or networks.

    Bonus points
  • Exposure to blockchain concepts or decentralized technologies.
  • Familiarity with cryptography and open-source contributions.
  • Familiarity with differential privacy analysis.
  • Advanced degree (PhD or MsC with significant research experience) in Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science, or a related field—paired with commercial experience
