• At Aztec, our goal is to add privacy to Ethereum. • In the current public blockchain paradigm, users and entities unknowingly broadcast data in the public, compromising privacy and security to get trustlessness. • Not only are unencrypted blockchains inherently privacy-exposing, they require significant redundancy to compute and verify the legitimacy of transactions. • Implementing scalable encryption in a public blockchain paradigm requires cutting-edge math and engineering. • Thankfully, our team of scientists and engineers invented Plonk, the industry-standard zkSNARK, and Noir, the universal language of zero knowledge. • Now, we’re building a first of its kind Layer 2 with private smart contracts. This requires new cryptographic primitives, a zero-knowledge DSL for writing contracts, a privacy-friendly execution environment, a carefully designed set of circuits that prove the validity of the chain to L1, a decentralized block-building and proving mechanism, and a top-tier user and developer experience. • And it’s now time to bring it to market.
• 3+ years experience in open-source community engagement and management • Strong knowledge of running blockchain infrastructure, ranging from small home to large scale cloud operations • Knowledge of peer-to-peer decentralized networking and monitoring tools • Familiarity with Docker, cloud computing services (e.g. AWS) • Experience coordinating communities operating peer-to-peer networks • Able to provide clear and constructive feedback on less senior engineers’ PR’s, mentoring where necessary • Ethereum infrastructure experience a bonus
• A highly competitive compensation package (including equity) • Flexible and remote work environment • 25 days holiday + bank holidays annually • An opportunity to work at the cutting edge of blockchain with a world class cryptography and engineering team
