Senior Cryptography Researcher
Special needs require special people.
The Senior Cryptography Researcher leads the cryptographic design and applied research behind our MPC wallet infrastructure and post-quantum roadmap. The role owns the threat model and architecture of our Rust MPC library, conducts protocol-level and code-level reviews of keygen and signing modules, and drives the library through external security audit. It also defines the cryptographic architecture for HSM and Ledger integration with non-extractable key shares, and serves as the internal cryptographic consultant across product lines on encryption, key management, and protocol selection.
The role further carries an original research mandate. This includes prototyping MPC protocols for lattice-based schemes such as Dilithium, investigating optimizations and attacks against existing constructions, and publishing results — with a target of at least two papers or preprints per year. The position represents the company in the Ethereum and Bitcoin communities through EIP/BIP proposals, forum contributions, and conference talks. It requires a PhD or equivalent research background, deep expertise in threshold signatures and post-quantum cryptography, and the ability to review and reason about production Rust cryptographic code.
