β You Should Have
- Ideally, 3-5+ years working in the decentralized realm, but open to less based on experience building/integrating ZK solutions (ZK protocols, modular blockchains, web3 developer tooling, security auditing)
- Prior experience in zK projects, but open to other open-source cryptography contributions
- Strong writing examples of translating technical concepts to absorbable material such as whitepapers, technical docs, technical content, etc.
- Ideally, PhD, but considering Bachelors or higher in Computer Science, Cryptography, Information Security or related Encryption field.
- 2+ years of experience with Rust, Go or C++ (as it pertains to building in the decentralized realm)
- Deep understanding/experience/research with zK protocols (SNARKS/STARKS, Rollups, ZKVMs, Fuzzing,etc)
