About the team
We are a team working on Ceno (paper link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/387), one of the cutting-edge ZKVM solutions. It is the first ZKVM that exploits the program structure and compiler techniques to improve the proof generation time. The project consists of three modules: GKR prover, ZKVM protocol, and recursive prover. Our whole team is working on the following tasks:
- The GKR prover acceleration.
- ZKVM infrastructure optimization, and opcode implementation.
- Recursive prover design and implementation.
- ZK research discussion.
Responsibilities:
- Enhance performance through innovative optimization techniques.
- Benchmark protocols, including different IOP protocols, polynomial commitments, and circuit designs.
- Maintain and enhance the zk[E]VM architecture for optimal performance and reliability.
- Implement opcode circuits, test, benchmark and optimize opcode design.
- Design and implement recursive proof systems.
- Analyze academic papers, design algorithms, and develop compiler systems to implement new solutions.
Requirements:
- Proficient in Rust/C++, and experience with low-level optimizations.
- Advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field, In-depth understanding of algorithms and mathematical concepts.
- Experience in designing and developing compilers and algorithmic systems.
- Ability to read, understand, and implement ideas from academic papers.
- Experience in MPI development.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Strong algorithm or mathematics contest background.
- Publications or contributions to ZK research.
- Hands-on experience with ZKVM and recursive proof systems.
- Experience in collaborative zkSNARKs, or decentralized provers.
