We’re looking for generalist engineers to join us in building the future of privacy-preserving infrastructure, specifically fully homomorphic encryption, proxy re-encryption, and related technoloies.<p>Responsibilities:
* Design, build, and maintain the core infrastructure powering our decentralized network;
* Implement cryptographic primitives and write robust, security-first code that will run in high-risk, adversarial environments;
* Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes;
* Review team members’ code to collaboratively identify bugs and correct security issues;
* Help establish threat models against our decentralized network and protocol.<p>Competencies:
* Deep knowledge of Python, Go, Javascript, Rust, or C;
* Familiarity with public-key cryptography and related cryptosystems, and the OpenSSL APIs ;
* Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD processes (CircleCI experience a plus!), git, automated testing (such as pytest), and other software development best practices;
* Verbal and written technical English.<p>Bonus Points:
* Experience with AWS deployment and management (IAM, ec2, s3, etc);
* Familiarity with applied cryptography literature/papers, and advanced cryptographic concepts like lattice-based cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs;
* Experience with designing and/or implementing large-scale distributed systems;
* Experience working with Ethereum, other blockchain ecosystems, or managing any distributed network at scale (not necessarily blockchain-related) is a major plus;
* Deep understanding or knowledge of consensus networks and protocols, specifically as they relate to cryptocurrencies and other blockchain applications;
* Any experience, professional or amateur, working in security engineering, appsec, or other information security roles is a major plus (hackers are welcome!).<p>If you’re a good fit, send your CV and a code sample that you’re proud of to careers@nucypher.com. No recruiters, please.
