International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Role focus Research techniques to improve both the constant and asymptotic performance of our cryptographic protocols Perform literature reviews to identify new developments that could improve the Prover/Verifier efficiency of our cryptographic protocols (or replace them entirely) Develop security proofs for our ZK-SNARK circuit architectures Liaise with our applied cryptographers to assist them with implementing our cryptographic protocols in software Required experience PhD-level qualification in cryptography or a related field 4+ combined years of experience in post-PhD cryptographic research in academia and/or industry Lead author in one or more papers in the field of zero-knowledge cryptography Familiarity with algorithms, data structures and basic programming concepts Ability to read and understand software implementations of cryptographic protocols written in C++ A penchant for clear and comprehensive documentation Able to provide clear and constructive feedback for more junior cryptographers / applied cryptographers, mentoring where necessary A passion for blockchain, its potential, and what we’re trying to achieve.
