  • Our World In Data (YC W19) | Senior Data Visualisation Engineer | Full-Time | Remote

    At Our World In Data, our mission is to make the world's biggest problems understandable, so that we can take effective action on them. We publish research and data on crucial topics like poverty, disease, hunger, inequality, war and climate change.

    The way we do this is especially through our data visualisation framework Grapher (https://github.com/owid/owid-grapher), which powers our interactive charts and our explorers for larger datasets. We're now looking for a senior engineer to join our team and take ownership over this visualisation framework.

    We are a remote-first team that spans EU and US East timezones. As a team, we're also passionate, talented, and driven to do work that makes a difference.

    Feel free to ask any questions you might have about the role. You can also learn more apply here: https://ourworldindata.org/senior-data-visualisation-enginee...

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • lurk-rs

    Lurk is a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs. It is a statically scoped dialect of Lisp, influenced by Scheme and Common Lisp.

  • Lurk Lab @ Protocol Labs | Multiple Positions | REMOTE | Full-time contract-to-hire

    Lurk Lab is building Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang), a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs. Lurk implements a minimal Lisp whose program executions can be proved in zero-knowledge, yielding succinct proofs that are concretely small and fast to verify. Lurk uses a Rust implementation (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs) for expression evaluation, proving, and verification, with Nova (https://github.com/microsoft/Nova/) as its proving backend. Because Lurk is Turing-complete, it can be used to make and prove arbitrary computational claims (within resource limits).

    We are looking for strong cryptography engineers, researchers, documentation specialists, applications developers, and start-up leaders/web3 entrepreneurs who want to build next-generation SNARK technology. Relevant programming languages include Rust, Lisp, and (less significantly) WASM.

    We are hiring for:

    - Rust Cryptography Engineers, https://grnh.se/d94e94ec4us

  • Nova

    Nova: High-speed recursive arguments from folding schemes (by microsoft)

  • namada

    Rust implementation of Namada, a Proof-of-Stake L1 for interchain asset-agnostic privacy

  • Heliax | Multiple roles | REMOTE (+-2 hours from CEST ideal) | Full Time | https://heliax.dev/jobs#all-jobs

    Heliax is a public goods lab which was built on years of pioneering experience across distributed systems, programming language theory, and zero-knowledge cryptography. All our work is open-source. Examples of some of our projects are Namada (https://github.com/anoma/namada), a sovereign proof-of-stake blockchain; Juvix (https://github.com/anoma/juvix), an experimental programming language; and Taiga (https://github.com/anoma/taiga), a framework for generalized shielded state transitions.

    We are currently actively hiring for a number of positions, most notably Senior Rust Engineers, Senior Full Stack Engineers, and a Protocol Security Lead.

    For the Senior Rust Engineer position, we are looking for experienced Rust developers that are interested in applying novel research to create high-quality open-source technology and solve outstanding problems in the blockchain space. You'll be working on distributed ledger technology implemented in Rust, all the way up and down the stack from the P2P layer to consensus algorithms, smart contract systems, proof-of-stake incentive mechanisms, privacy-enhancing cryptographic components, and on-chain governance procedures.

    For the Senior Full Stack Engineer position, we are looking for either web developers with experience using TypeScript and other modern web frameworks or software developers who have experience with Rust. Some representative examples of features you’ll be working on in this role are: adding support for Ledger hardware wallet connectivity, support for generation and use of file-based keys, generation of shielded transactions using cryptographic libraries, display of any digital asset (including NFTs) and associated transaction history, and on-chain management of staking and governance. It's a plus if you've previously worked with WebAssembly.

    For the Protocol Security Lead, you'll be responsible for breaking protocols both in theory and practice in and outside the company, and assembling a team to help them do so. You'll receive a high degree of latitude and autonomy to prioritize tasks and search for the weakest links in complex systems in order to break them. The rough structure could be compared to Google Project Zero, but with a focus on cryptographic protocols & implementations instead of web technology writ large.

  • juvix

    Discontinued Juvix empowers developers to write code in a high-level, functional language, compile it to gas-efficient output VM instructions, and formally verify the safety of their contracts prior to deployment and execution.
