Research Engineer - Applied Cryptography
May 07
Posted by LeriaMay 07, 2024
Research Engineers are passionate about DVT and have a thorough understanding of the Ethereum Stack. This role is responsible for charting the next order of magnitude improvement in Distributed Validator Technology by researching and prototyping novel cryptography, solidity, and consensus implementations. At Obol we are stripping Ethereum clients down to their fundamentals and rebuilding them in a highly-available by default, byzantine tolerant architecture, capable of being run by multiple operators. This project will push the envelope on distributed systems and their coordination via smart contracts beyond what has been seen in the space to date.
Responsibilities
- Prototype and design cluster migration mechanisms, and key resharing schemes that allow for operator addition and replacement, and validator addition.
- Research manners to objectively prove DV performance to a solidity contract using ZKPs, VDFs, MPC schemes and the EVM consensus layer interface.
- Research manners to reduce the cost of these performance measures by taking computation into a state channel layer between operators.
- Integrate novel consensus mechanisms into charon to reduce communication rounds, add attributability, and to increase scale and performance of DVs.
- Develop EVM smart contracts for the provisioning of Ethereum distributed validators.
- Participate in the hiring processes of the Obol Technical Team.
What you will like about us
- Developing open-source public goods for permissionless networks.
- Solving groundbreaking problems in distributed cryptography and crypto-economics.
- Fully Remote, flexible working hours (Independent contractor).
- Unlimited paid time off (based on our company policy).
- Personal hardware & professional training budget.
- Annual opportunity to attend DevCon (or a blockchain conference of choice).
- Opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading cryptography researchers and advisors.
🕰️ In order to scale efficiently, we focus our hiring on candidates able to work during the standard business hours of the following timezones: GMT-8 to GMT+3.
This does not mean that you have to be located in these timezones to get the job but must be able to work the bulk of your time during their standard business hours.
Thank you for your interest. Looking forward to building amazing stuff together!
