As a Lisp-based Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs, Lurk is doing something new and exciting in the zk-proof space. Many people come to Lurk saying, āLurk is so cool! How can I learn more? Are there things I can read to help me begin to use Lurk?ā So far, the answers to those questions have been less thorough than they should be. We are looking for someone to create robust and accessible documentation that thoroughly responds to these needs.

- Work closely with the current Lurk engineering team, the technical program manager, and key collaborators to identify and prioritize documentation needs
- Devise and implement a plan to document all aspects of Lurkās code, anticipating and accommodating its evolving nature
- Documentation should include explanations, code samples, interactive examples, and resources for further study
- Documentation should be relevant to both domain experts and newcomers
You are probably a good fit for this position if youā¦
- like to make it easier to learn complex topics and use new technology
- learn new concepts easily and with excitement
- are familiar with the overall landscape of zk-proofs
- are familiar with the Lisp family of programming languages (Common Lisp, Scheme, or another Lisp dialect)
