NuCypher (YC S16) is hiring engineers to build privacy-preserving infrastructure

We’re looking for generalist engineers to join us in building the future of privacy-preserving infrastructure, specifically fully homomorphic encryption, proxy re-encryption, and related technoloies.

Responsibilities: * Design, build, and maintain the core infrastructure powering our decentralized network; * Implement cryptographic primitives and write robust, security-first code that will run in high-risk, adversarial environments; * Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes; * Review team members’ code to collaboratively identify bugs and correct security issues; * Help establish threat models against our decentralized network and protocol.

Competencies: * Deep knowledge of Python, Go, Javascript, Rust, or C; * Familiarity with public-key cryptography and related cryptosystems, and the OpenSSL APIs ; * Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD processes (CircleCI experience a plus!), git, automated testing (such as pytest), and other software development best practices; * Verbal and written technical English.

Bonus Points: * Experience with AWS deployment and management (IAM, ec2, s3, etc); * Familiarity with applied cryptography literature/papers, and advanced cryptographic concepts like lattice-based cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs; * Experience with designing and/or implementing large-scale distributed systems; * Experience working with Ethereum, other blockchain ecosystems, or managing any distributed network at scale (not necessarily blockchain-related) is a major plus; * Deep understanding or knowledge of consensus networks and protocols, specifically as they relate to cryptocurrencies and other blockchain applications; * Any experience, professional or amateur, working in security engineering, appsec, or other information security roles is a major plus (hackers are welcome!).

If you’re a good fit, send your CV and a code sample that you’re proud of to careers@nucypher.com. No recruiters, please.
