Quantstamp is looking for an applied cryptographer. Quantstamp often deals with a wide range of cryptographic problems, including reviewing implementations and tackling new theoretical problems using cryptography. For example, Quantstamp regularly receives requests to review code bases which either invoke or implement (custom) cryptography, as part of an audit.
Requirments
Mastery of at least one zk-SNARK/zk-STARK proof system, or a strong enough technical background to understand one (and this should have some direct connection to cryptography)
Strong ability to code and develop software. You should have experience with at least one major language, like Python, Java, or C; the exact language is not too important. You should be familiar with versioning software (specifically, GitHub), testing, and a familiarity with algorithms and data structures.
Ability to read and interpret academic papers
Ability to communicate ideas
Partial availability (2-6h) during EST work hours
Familiarity with existing ZK Rollup designs and multiple ZK proof systems
Knowledge of software development in Solidity, including testing and various development frameworks like Hardhat
Familiarity with blockchain ecosystems, particularly Ethereum
Familiarity with Circom for writing zero knowledge circuits
