Job Description
[AI-summarized by JobStash]
You will perform in-depth security assessments of cryptographic protocols and implementations used in Web3 systems. You will review protocol designs and low-level code, analyze mathematical constructions for vulnerabilities, and write clear, precise security reports. You will review Rust, Go, and Solidity implementations, contribute to cryptographic research and methodology, and collaborate with protocol teams to improve security and robustness. You may also contribute to open-source infrastructure and tooling related to cryptography and consensus.
Requirements
- āAdvanced knowledge of applied cryptography
