International Association
for Cryptologic Research

We bring to life fast, permissionless, decentralized computation. The Nillion team is looking for talented cryptographers to help build a new paradigm in decentralized computing to redefine network computation on private data. As a Cryptographer at Nillion, you will research, design, and define cryptographic protocols within the larger framework of distributed systems, formally proving their security. You will be responsible for conducting groundbreaking research that will lead to commercially viable and reliable products by analyzing, proposing, and validating cryptography solutions within a decentralized computing environment. We work in an environment where tangibility and flexibility are key attributes that help us innovate. Our engineering team embodies those qualities, bringing clarity and direction to help move new ideas forward. If you enjoy keeping up to speed on current technological trends and have a background in cryptography and security - get in touch! Requirements: - 5+ years of academic research experience in cryptography - Qualified to a PhD or Postdoc degree in cryptography or related field - Several international scientific publications - Deep understanding of multi-party computation (MPC) -Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English -Extensive experience working with internal and external stakeholders -Have highly effective communication, interpersonal and critical thinking skills -Ability to understand, formally describe and prove mathematical concepts in writing -The ability to write formal security proofs in the UC framework -Publications in the domain of MPC (Publications in the domains of ZKP or FHE are a bonus) Responsibilities: -Developing new protocols and their security proofs -Creating variants of existing protocols (synchronous/asynchronous, computational/ITS, passive/active, static/mobile adversaries, boolean/arithmetic, etc.) -Verifying existing NMC protocols and their security proofs -Proof-reading existing written material (e.g. technical whitepaper) -Writing new security proofs for existing NMC protocols..
