Applied Cryptographer

Gnosis Guild is hiring an Applied Cryptographer to join our incubated venture, Enclave.

Enclave is an open-source protocol for encrypted execution environments (E3), enabling web2 and web3 organizations to create the next generation of privacy-preserving applications. By integrating fully-homomorphic encryption (FHE) with threshold cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), Enclave simplifies the complexities of advanced encryption and fulfils the need for data privacy and computational integrity in an increasingly vulnerable landscape.

We envision a future where privacy-preserving applications are the norm, not the exception.

Responsibilities

• Contribute foundational research for the Enclave protocol across protocol design, FHE/ZK implementations, and p2p node infrastructure.
• Work closely with a team of engineers to develop the Enclave testnet and eventual public launch

Requirements

• 5+ years of engineering/cryptography experience
• Experience in at least two of the following:
  • Designing and coding zero knowledge circuits
  • Designing and coding FHE circuits
  • Designing and coding p2p networks (libp2p)
  • Designing and coding smart contracts
  • Expertise in Rust/Solidity
• Strong organizational and communication skills, including writing
• Founder-mindset with ability to innovate on product

Benefits

• As a builder-led org, you’ll be granted generous ownership in our DAO
• Contribute from anywhere in the world
• Competitive compensation level
