Cryptographers at Iron Fish are specialized in practical and secure cryptographic protocols for blockchains. You will work to design, develop, and prove new and secure cryptographic protocols for a distributed system.\n\nWe are a small startup and have support from some of the top VCs in the cryptocurrency world (Electric Capital (Avichal Garg), Elad Gil, Metastable (Naval Ravikant and Lucas Ryan), A Capital (Kartik Talwar), Slow Ventures (Jill Carlson), Dylan Field (Figma), John Lilly, Jack Abraham (Atomic), Juan Benet (Filecoin), Jack Chou, Balaji Srinivasan, Lemniscap (Roderik van der Graaf), James Prestwich, and Linda Xie). \n\nIron Fish mission is to enable free flow of assets through easy to use, accessible, and private cryptocurrency transactions. \n\nIf you are excited to work on uncharted territory in decentralized computing and cutting edge cryptography, we are looking forward to meeting you!\n\nWhat should I expect working here?\nYou will be challenged and always learning. This project spans concepts of distributed systems, heavy-duty cryptography, UI/UX challenges of simplifying complex information, cross-chain communication, and much more.\n\nYou will be encouraged to think about world economies and what it takes to build a universal privacy layer for all crypto assets. You will build tools to bring equality to the global economy so that everyone has access to complete financial sovereignty.\n\nWe value kindness, curiosity, and the willingness to learn and to teach. 😊\n\nWhat you’ll do:\n\nAs an engineer in a fast growing company, the day-to-day may vary.
