• This role is available to those located in the United States.

As a Senior Software Engineer on our SQL Proof Engineering team you will be joining highly skilled engineers, cryptographers, mathematicians, and tech leads responsible for developing high-performance in-database mechanisms to verify that the SQL results returned to a client are tamperproof and cryptographically guaranteed. You will be at the forefront of developing a novel Proof of SQL mechanism, akin to a specialized zero-knowledge proof/SNARK, that enables the secure loading of outsourced SQL job results into smart contracts via a decentralized oracle network, while minimizing potential attack surfaces. This role requires a strong background in applied cryptography or related mathematical fields, as well as a willingness to learn and research novel algorithms and techniques

What you'll do

• Collaborate with a highly skilled team to design and develop a Proof of SQL mechanism based on zero-knowledge proof principles and SNARKS
• Architect and implement high-performance in-database mechanisms to ensure tamperproof and cryptographically guaranteed SQL results
• Research and explore innovative cryptographic algorithms and techniques to enhance the security of efficiency of the Proof of SQL mechanism
• Ensure the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of the developed mechanisms through thorough testing and optimization
• Codifying the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of the developed mechanisms through thorough testing and optimization
• Working with engineering leadership to define, prioritize, and ensure smooth deployments with other operational components

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in math, computer science, computer engineering, or related technical field.
• Minimum 6+ years software engineering experience. Experience with applied cryptography is a bonus
• Experience with the design of zero-knowledge proofs and SNARKS
• Experience programming with Rust a plus
• Solid engineering fundamentals; algorithm development/design, high-performance distributed computing
• Solid cryptography fundamentals; hashing, elliptic curves/pairings, field/group theory, etc.
• Strong command of the English language, both written and spoken
