Through our product suite, including the MetaMask platform, Infura, Linea, Diligence, and our NFT toolkit Phosphor, we have become the trusted collaborator for users, creators, and developers on their path to build and belong in the world they want to see.

Whether building a dapp, an NFT collection, a portfolio, or a better future, the instinct to build is universal. Consensys inspires and champions the builder instinct in everyone by making web3 universally easy to use and develop on.

Our mission is to unlock the collaborative power of communities by making the decentralized web universally easy to access, use, and build on.

You’ll get to work on the tools, infrastructure, and apps that scale these platforms to onboard one billion participants and 5 million developers. You’ll be constantly exposed to new concepts, ideas, and frameworks from your peers, and as you work on different projects — challenging you to stay at the top of your game. You’ll join a network of builders that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. Consensys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies.

Job Description:

We are seeking a skilled and passionate Core Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Engineer to join our team in building and implementing zero-knowledge protocols, circuits, and provers for a zk-EVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine). As a Core ZK Engineer, you will play a key role in pushing the boundaries of blockchain scalability and computation delegation, and performance by crafting cutting-edge cryptographic solutions that power ZK rollups and other decentralized applications.

Your work will focus on developing and optimizing zero-knowledge circuits and protocols to create an efficient, secure, and decentralized zk-EVM. If you are excited about the intersection of cryptography, blockchain, and Ethereum's technical ecosystem, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities:

- Help to refine the zk-EVM structure to ensure scalability, correctness, and Ethereum compatibility.

- Build and optimize ZK proving systems, ensuring efficient performance and reduced computational overhead.

- Collaborate with researchers and engineers to design and implement cutting-edge cryptographic protocols.

- Ensure security and correctness of all ZK implementations, rigorously testing and auditing circuits, protocols, and provers.

- Contribute to the development of supporting libraries and tooling to enhance ZK development.

- Stay up-to-date with advancements in cryptography, Ethereum's ecosystem, and zero-knowledge proofs.

- Participate in design decisions and code reviews for zk-EVM components.

- Work closely with product teams to ensure your implementations meet the functional and performance requirements of the zk-EVM.

Requirements

Technical Skills:

- Deep understanding of cryptographic principle, SNARK protocols, polynomial commitments, lookup protocols and the underlying mathematical concepts

- Hands-on experience designing and implementing ZK circuits and/or experience maintaining circuit-design tools.

- Familiarity with all the mathematical and cryptographic concepts used in ZK: finite fields, polynomials, hash functions, error correcting codes.

- Strong programming skills in languages like Rust, C++, or Go; experience with Solidity is a plus.

- Familiarity with Ethereum, the EVM and Layer-2 scaling solutions.

- Experience optimizing complex computations, either on CPU, GPU, FPGA

General Skills:

- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with a focus on achieving correctness, soundness and efficiency in ZK implementations.

- Ability to challenge his own and his peers solutions

- Ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.

- Experience working in a collaborative environment using Git, CI/CD pipelines

- Experience with in-production code

Preferred Qualifications:

- Advanced degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Cryptography, or related field.

- Published research or contributions to open-source zero-knowledge proof or cryptographic projects.

- Experiences working on ZK projects or L2 projects

- Contributions to cryptographic libraries or tools

If you are passionate about zero-knowledge cryptography and excited to shape the future of Ethereum scalability and privacy, we encourage you to apply and join our team!

Don't meet all the requirements? Don't sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you've got what it takes for our chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly, start-up environment—apply anyway, detailing your relevant transferable skills in your cover letter.

What is Zero-knowledge?

▼

Zero-knowledge is a concept in cryptography that allows two parties to exchange information without revealing any additional information beyond what is necessary to prove a particular fact

In other words, zero-knowledge is a way of proving something without actually revealing any details about the proof

Here are some examples of zero-knowledge:

Password authentication: When you enter your password to log into an online account, the server doesn't actually know your password. Instead, it checks to see if the hash of your password matches the stored hash in its database. This is a form of zero-knowledge because the server doesn't know your actual password, just the hash that proves you know the correct password.
Sudoku puzzles: Suppose you want to prove to someone that you've solved a particularly difficult Sudoku puzzle. You could do this by providing them with the completed puzzle, but that would reveal how you solved it. Instead, you could use a zero-knowledge proof where you demonstrate that you know the solution without actually revealing the solution itself.
Bitcoin transactions: In a Bitcoin transaction, you prove that you have ownership of a certain amount of Bitcoin without revealing your private key. This is done using a zero-knowledge proof called a Schnorr signature, which allows you to prove ownership of a specific transaction output without revealing the private key associated with that output.
Secure messaging: In a secure messaging app, you can prove to your contacts that you have access to a shared secret without revealing the secret itself. This is done using a zero-knowledge proof, which allows you to prove that you have access to the secret without actually revealing what the secret is.
