Role overview
🧭 Autonomous environment - fully remote, flat hierarchy, with low/no rules: just pure focus on delivering the compute protocol that will push the frontiers of artificial intelligence
❗️ Backed by visionaries - at the intersection of crypto infrastructure and deep learning, including: a16z crypto, CoinFund, Eden Block, Maven 11, Galaxy Digital, 7percent, Canonical Crypto, Protocol Labs, and Entrepreneur First
What you'll work on
👉 Research - identify, fully understand, and integrate relevant research concerning the verification of neural network computation
👉 Build novel PIOPs - take ownership of a novel Polynomial Interactive Oracle Proof system for verifiable machine learning computations
👉 Proof construction - develop new, lightweight, proofs to prove state-dependent graph computations have been executed as requested
👉 Engineering support - work with engineers on wider issues concerning cryptography (e.g. for our proof of data availability subsystem)
👉 Follow best practices - build in the open with a keen focus on designing, testing, and documenting your code
👉 Write & engage - contribute to technical reports/papers describing the system and discuss with the community
What we're looking for
🔥 Rust experience
🔥 Experience at an early stage, research-focused, startup
🔥 Experience with crypto protocols
🔥 Experience with machine learning
