About the job

We are hiring for one of our ecosystem projects. The company is a seed-stage, stealth-mode rocket ship on a mission to accelerate adoption of zero-knowledge proofs. While the demand to generate proofs is exploding, the web3 ecosystem lacks a scalable infrastructure to generate proofs. They are building a cost-efficient and performant marketplace for proof generation, where the supply is a distributed network of GPUs, FPGAs and ASICs around the world.We are seeking a seasoned Protocol Engineer to join their engineering team that operates in an environment of shared accountability and without hierarchy. In this role, you will be responsible for co-architecting and co-leading the team with a hands-on approach. You will collaborate closely on the design with the team and co-lead the implementation, while helping to assimilate new members as we build out the necessary team.As an early team member, you will help shape not only the protocol, but also who we are as a company. You will set a technical standard and eventually become one of our core contributors. You will have the freedom and autonomy to shape the direction of our culture and platform, contributing your ideas and expertise to drive its evolution.
