Who we are

Aztec Network releases its next iteration of zk.money, demonstrating the power of the Aztec Connect SDK to build seamless integrations with DeFi protocols like Lido and Element. At Aztec we believe decentralization is premised on individual rights. Without widely accessible privacy, we compromise our ability to choose how we live our lives and earn our livelihoods. Aztec is built from the ground up to be privacy-first. Our UTXO architecture, inspired by Bitcoin, allows for end-to-end encrypted transactions. And our category-defining zero-knowledge research means privacy is fast and efficient.

YOUR CHALLENGES:

We are looking for a software engineer with experience in high-level language architectures and compiler design.

You will be working with Noir's lead designer Kevaundray Wedderburn to develop the language and enhance its features.

Noir is written in rust, which will be the core language you will be working with as part of our team.

Our cryptography backend, barretenberg, is written in C++. Knowledge of C++ would also be helpful as part of interfacing Noir's frontend with barretenberg.

Your role will focus on helping us with the following projects:

  • Further develop and refine the semantics of Noir
  • Develop debugging tools for Noir
  • Writing documentation and specifications for Noir

The latest version of Noir can be found at https://github.com/noir-lang/noir Our cryptography backend can be found at https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-2-bug-bounty/tree/master/barretenberg

GET ONBOARD IF:

  • 2+ years experience with at least one low-level programming language, ideally rust
  • 1+ years experience with developing programming language backends and/or frontends
  • Strong focus on code quality and simplicity
  • Some experience implementing cryptographic protocols is preferrable but not required

Few of these are hard requirements - but what we certainly want is:

  • A drive to learn and willingness to dive into the weeds of highly complex code


It's great if you are:

WHY US:

  • A highly competitive compensation package (including equity)
  • Flexible with remote working
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • An opportunity to work with a world class cryptography and engineering team
  • An opportunity to work at the cutting edge of blockchain and fintech
