    Founding ZK Circuit Engineer - New York, United States - Axiom Global

    Default job background
    Description
    About Us

    Axiom is using zero knowledge proofs to scale smart contract applications in a new way. Our recent V2 release on mainnet allows smart contracts to compute over the entire history of Ethereum in a fully trustless way. This is critical infrastructure to help blockchain applications scale and will empower developers to build novel decentralized applications with the power of ZK.

    We are a small but incredibly strong team backed by the best investors in crypto. We're looking for exceptional people who are excited to work on challenging and impactful problems in a fast-paced environment. Our office is in NYC and working in person in NY is our strong preference, but we're open to remote candidates as well.

    The Role

    We are looking for a Founding ZK Circuit Engineer who will implement and optimize cutting-edge cryptographic code for zero-knowledge proof generation. You will be working on interesting and challenging problems necessary to make ZK accessible to smart contract developers. The role will involve both optimizing the prover and implementing novel ZK circuits. Your work will be critical in scaling Axiom to empower smart contract applications to trustlessly access more data and more diverse compute.

    Who you are
    • You have a strong background in math/cryptography, or strong problem-solving skills and interest in zero-knowledge proofs
    • You have proficiency in Rust, C++, Golang, or Python. We work primarily in Rust, but prior experience is not mandatory
    • You are extremely detail oriented and have a security mindset
    • You've worked on challenging software projects and have an eye for performance
    • You're a clear communicator and value collaboration
    • You have a strong bias towards action
    • You have an extremely strong work ethic
    Bonuses
    • You have experience with VMs, programming languages, databases
    • You have experience with low-level details of Ethereum
    We welcome diverse backgrounds. Some non-traditional profiles that may be a good fit include high-frequency trading, math/physics/CS academia, and hardware engineering.

    Why join us
    • As a founding engineer, you'll be one of the earliest employees with ownership to make key technical/product decisions.
    • You'll be working on groundbreaking tech that has the potential to be a key piece of infrastructure for the crypto industry.
    • You'll receive a competitive salary with equity.
    • You will work with and receive mentorship from an exceptional team.
    Our Team

    Our founders Yi Sun and Jonathan Wang met while studying math at Harvard and have been working on ZK since early 2022. Together, they wrote some of the most performant ZK circuits for elliptic curve cryptography and Ethereum data reads before starting Axiom.

    Before Axiom, Yi researched probability and machine learning as a professor at UChicago Statistics and did a math PhD at MIT. He was an advisor for Gauntlet and Scroll and worked at an HFT startup from inception to profitable trading. Jonathan published number theory research in top math journals and did a math PhD at UChicago.

    The rest of our small but incredibly strong engineering team includes alums of Coinbase, Snap, Neon, Kernel, and Google. We look forward to working with you
