Are you passionate about blockchain protocols, distributed systems, and applied cryptography? We are seeking a Lead Protocol Engineer to help build a cutting-edge Digital Asset Platform focused on solving one of the biggest challenges in institutional finance—delivering regulatory compliance while preserving transaction confidentiality.
This role sits at the intersection of cryptography, blockchain infrastructure, and high-performance distributed systems, offering the opportunity to design and develop core protocol components from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities Core Protocol Development
Architect and develop a custom blockchain application using Go (Golang), Cosmos SDK, and CometBFT (Tendermint).
Design scalable and secure protocol components for institutional-grade digital asset settlement.
Cryptographic Engineering
Implement and optimize privacy-preserving cryptographic primitives including:
Pedersen Commitments
Bulletproofs (Range Proofs)
Ensure cryptographic solutions operate without requiring a trusted setup.
Consensus & Distributed Systems
Develop custom ABCI++ extensions including:
Prepare Proposal
Vote Extensions
Build and support an on-chain Multi-Party Computation (MPC) mixing network.
State Machine Design
Design and maintain custom KVStore state machines.
Manage homomorphically encrypted balances using Elliptic Curve cryptography rather than traditional plaintext accounting models.
Performance Optimization
Optimize cryptographic operations such as:
Scalar multiplication
Point addition
Improve throughput, latency, and scalability across distributed environments.
