What Will You Do?

• Architect powerful, flexible privacy primitives. Work hand-in-hand with Etherealize’s President and CTO to design a set of primitives that are capable of forming the privacy-preserving backbone of all of our institutional products.
• Own development of the privacy protocol. Turn abstract designs into circuits and code that are ready to be deployed to production.
• Build secret management & private state UX. Build, utilize, and extend tooling and standards for storing, updating, and interacting with private state; work with the rest of the engineering team to ensure our products can seamlessly integrate with private state.
• Stay at (and push) the cutting edge. Become our resident ZK nerd: stay on top of emerging research and latest developments in the field and contribute upstream to open‑source projects as needed to move the ecosystem forward.

Who Are You?

• 1337 builder. You love solving impossible problems. You’ve worked on extremely challenging projects and are capable of turning complexity into elegant solutions.
• ZK native. You have direct, hands‑on experience with writing low-level circuits, using zkVMs, and working with the latest ZK tooling, as well as a foundational grasp of zero‑knowledge proof systems and design paradigms.
• Startup mindset. You’re not just a researcher. While diving deep into technical rabbit holes is certainly a part of the job, you also have a bias to action and the ability to stay laser-focused on solving real problems.

What’s In It For You?

• Solve hard problems… You’ll work on the absolute cutting edge of ZK tech, immersed in complex problems all day every day.
• …for the real world… Your code will unlock the privacy guarantees required for institutional capital to flow on‑chain, and will be backbone behind high-value institutional products. If we succeed, the protocols you work on will become some of the most critical code in the ecosystem.
• …with great people. You’ll collaborate closely with Danny Ryan (President) and Zach Obront (CTO), ecosystem leaders with deep expertise across crypto, technical architecture, and company-building.
