As Zama continues our mission to infuse privacy into web3, we’re in the throes of crafting a homomorphic blockchain protocol. This revolutionary framework will enable computations directly on-chain on encrypted shared states. To make this vision a reality, we’re on the hunt for Blockchain Engineers who possess a robust foundation in cryptography. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to design and implement intricate cryptographic protocols, blending FHE, ZK, and other crypto techniques seamlessly.

Shouldering the responsibility alongside a team of distinguished cryptographers, blockchain enthusiasts, and full-stack developers, you’ll be instrumental in spearheading research initiatives, translating theories into practical solutions, and continually enhancing the efficacy of Zama’s homomorphic blockchain. You will:

• Work on research projects to conceptualize and refine complex cryptographic protocols, amalgamating the intricacies of FHE, ZK, and contemporary crypto methodologies.

• Foster collaboration with an interdisciplinary team, translating research findings into tangible developments for Zama’s homomorphic blockchain.

• Stay abreast of the latest research breakthroughs in blockchain and cryptography, ensuring Zama’s strategic alignment with evolving technological landscapes.

• Patent, publish, and present your work where appropriate.

• Demonstrable experience in researching and/or implementing cryptography in real-world scenarios, bonus points if you’ve done this on blockchain applications.

• Deep understanding of homomorphic encryption and its nuances and/or a willingness to learn.

• Proven expertise experimenting with, or researching on, smart contracts, zero-knowledge proofs, and/or FHE.

• Exceptional communication skills, fostering seamless collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Embracing a flexible remote working ethos, Zama values in-person interactions and as such, requires a visit to our Paris headquarters at least once every quarter.

At Zama, innovation isn’t just a buzzword – it’s our DNA. If you’re passionate about blockchain, cryptography, and are eager to help us shape the future of privacy in web3, we welcome you to be a part of our journey.

Our process is described in detail here: https://www.zama.ai/post/how-we-hire-at-zama. We will be in contact with exceptional candidates who we wish to advance through the recruitment process.

Zama values and promotes diversity. We give everyone a fair chance to be evaluated on their professional, academic, and personal skills. Our aim is to make the hiring process as pleasant, stress-free, and friendly as possible, even if the process is longer and more involved than you might find elsewhere.
