Matter Labs
Job Posting
The role
We are looking for Research Scientists to join our Research Team. We are looking for accomplished researchers with a PhD in relevant areas of computer science interested in working on various aspects of the complex system that Matter Labs is building, including security, performance, networking, hardware, programming languages, program correctness, and various aspects of applied cryptography related to zero-knowledge proofs.
We expect you to have a track record of research in a relevant area and to be connected to both the academic community and industrial practice. Experience of working on other blockchain projects is a plus but not a requirement.
What You'll Be Doing
We expect you to be an expert in your field and to apply your knowledge and expertise to come up with solutions relevant to what Matter Labs is building We expect you to work with both research scientists as well as engineers and engineering managers to get what you produce deployed We expect you to be a member of the academic community and to read and possibly write papers, listen and possibly give presentations, in order to stay abreast of the most recent developments as they happen
What We Look For in You
Experience in one (or more) of the following areas: performance (distributed systems, runtimes, networking stack), security, verification and/or machine learning A PhD in computer science or related discipline A track record of research relevant to or deployed in an industrial setting Ability and willingness to produce technical blogs, reports, and papers Deep understanding of software engineering best-practices Ownership mindset and a track record of successfully accomplished projects In-depth knowledge of common algorithms, data structures, and their computational & memory complexities Proven publication history Experience implementing complex prototypes both from scratch and based on existing code bases Ability to produce code that leads to industrial deployment English is your native language or you are completely fluent
