You will be working alongside a team of cryptographers, protocol designers, and full-stack engineers to design, implement and launch Zama’s homomorphic blockchain.

Your job as a Blockchain Engineer will be to:

  • Develop and maintain the Zama blockchain.
  • Take part in architecture discussions.
  • Develop our blockchain ecosystem and work closely with partnering protocols.
