\nAbout Status\n\nStatus is building the tools and infrastructure for the advancement of a secure, private, and open web3.ย \n\nWith the high level goals of preserving the right to privacy, mitigating the risk of censorship, and promoting economic trade in a transparent, open manner, Status is building a community where anyone is welcome to join and contribute.\n\nAs an organization, Status seeks to push the web3 ecosystem forward through research, creation of developer tools, and support of the open source community.ย \n\nAs a product, Status is an open source, Ethereum-based app that gives users the power to chat, transact, and access a revolutionary world of DApps on the decentralized web. But Status is also building foundational infrastructure for the whole Ethereum ecosystem, including the Nimbus ETH 1.0 and 2.0 clients, the Keycard hardware wallet, and the Waku messaging protocol (a continuation of Whisper).\n\nAs a team, Status has been completely distributed since inception.ย Our team is currently 100+ core contributors strong, and welcomes a growing number of community members from all walks of life, scattered all around the globe.ย \n\nWe care deeply about open source, and our organizational structure has minimal hierarchy and no fixed work hours. We believe in working with a high degree of autonomy while supporting the organization's priorities.\n\n\nWho are we?\n\nVacbuildspublic good protocols for the decentralized web.\n\nWe do applied research based on which we build protocols, libraries and publications. Custodians of protocols that reflect a set of principles - liberty, privacy, etc.\n\nYou can see a sample of some of our work here: Vac, Waku v2 and Ethereum Messaging, Privacy-preserving p2p economic spam protection in Waku v2, Waku v2 RFC. Our attitude towards ZK: Vac <3 ZK.\n\nThe role?\n\nThis role will be part of a new team that will make a provable and private WASM engine that runs everywhere. As a compiler engineer, you will be responsible for researching, designing, analyzing and implementing zero-knowledge circuits that allow for proving private computation of execution in WASM. This includes having a deep understanding of relevant ZK proof systems and tooling (zk-SNARK, circom, Plonk/Halo 2, zk-STARK, etc), as well as different architectures (zk-EVM Community Effort, Polygon Hermez and similar) and their trade-offs. You will collaborate with the Vac Research team, and work with requirements from our new Logos program. As one of the first hires of a greenfield project, you are expected to take on significant responsibility, while collaborating with other research engineers, including protocol engineers and senior Rust engineers.\n\n\nKey responsibilitiesย \n\n\nAnalyze and implement proof systems and architectures for private computation\n\nDesign and implement zero knowledge circuits in Rust\n\nPerform security analysis, measure performance of and debug circuits\n\nWrite specifications and communicate research findings through write-ups\n\nBreak down complex problems, and know what can and what canโt be dealt with later\n\n\n\n\nYou ideally will haveย \n\n\nExperience with compilers, VMs, domain-specific languages\n\nFamiliarity with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zk-SNARK, circom, Plonk/Halo2, zk-STARK), elliptic curve cryptography, and circuit design\n\nExperience with low level/strongly typed languages (C/C++/Go/Rust or Java/C#)\n\nVery strong academic or engineering background (PhD-level or equivalent in industry); relevant research experience\n\n* Keen communicator, eager to share your work in a wide variety of contexts, like internal and public presentations, blog posts and academic papers.\n\nExperience with Open Source software\n\nExperience in, and passion for, blockchain technology\n\n\nA strong alignment to our principles: https://status.im/about/#our-principles\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus points ifย \n\n\nExperience with hardware instruction set architectures\n\nExperience in provable and/or private computation (zkEVM, other ZK VM)\n\nRust Zero Knowledge tooling\n\nExperience with WebAssembly\n\n\n\n\n[Donโt worry if you donโt meet all of these criteria, weโd still love to hear from you anyway if you think youโd be a great fit for this role. Just explain to us why in your cover letter].\n\nCompensation\n\nWe are happy to pay in either 100% fiat or any mix of fiat and/or crypto.
