Web3 Engineer

role overview

You will write and improve code, and take part in the engineering processes of the Privacy & Scaling Explorations Research Group.

It's a cutting-edge technological research group exploring practical applications for Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Scaling solutions. Our mission is to build the cryptographic primitives that will form the bedrock of a rich and vibrant ecosystem of decentralized applications, built on Ethereum. We do this through pure research projects, by building proofs of concept, and by facilitating the integration of technological primitives into decentralized applications. Examples of projects we are working on include zkEVMZkopru, Unirep, Semaphore and MACI.
