A “Rust Cryptography Engineer for Lurk” will support the development of the Lurk programming language, a Turing-complete language for zk-SNARKs. The ideal candidate for this job will have experience writing zk-proofs or zk-proof adjacent software in Rust, as Lurk expression evaluation, proving, and verification are done in Rust.
Job Responsibilities...
- Work closely with the current Lurk engineering team, a technical program manager, and core collaborators to support the growth of the language
- Invest significant time in learning and understanding the current Lurk language and understanding its trajectory
- Maintain and develop the code base
- As needed:
- Write Lurk circuits in Rust
- Support and improve Nova integration and other proving backends
- Work directly in or with forks of external repositories on which Lurk depends (, , )
- Author new libraries to improve manual and automated creation of efficient circuits/witnesses
- Engage with research literature and researchers to ensure the correct deployment of new technologies
You might be a good fit for this job if you...
- are excited by cutting-edge cryptography
- have experience coding cryptographic circuits
- love working in Rust
- have been a part of open source collaborations across organizations and repositories
- are familiar with the landscape and technology of zk-SNARKs
- grok why a Turing-complete language for recursive zk-SNARKs is significant
- are familiar with one or more SNARK proving systems (Lurk currently supports Groth16 and will soon support Nova proofs)
- want to turn cryptography research into working tech
