Our Mission
Sunscreen is building the privacy engine of the new web. We're bringing private computation to all by making advanced cryptography (i.e. fully homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs) easy to use.
What you'll accomplish your 1st year here
- You'll help build the core infrastructure of a new cryptographic system (alongside a cryptographer!) 🛠
- You’ll implement cryptographic primitives (including zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption) and write robust, security-first code that will run in high-risk, adversarial environments
- You'll become familiar with the latest advances in cryptography and determine their applicability to Sunscreen’s system
- You'll have opportunities to present your work at conferences 👏
You...
- Believe everyone has the right to privacy 🔒
- Think technology should be frictionless (documentation is important to you!)
- Have significant experience implementing cryptographic primitives (ideally efficient zero-knowledge proof systems) in a performant and modular way
- Are comfortable working with multiple programming languages
- Are excited to get your hands dirty learning new math and cryptography (with help of course!) ✍️
- Look forward to collaborating with others
- Have excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical issues to a non-technical audience
We offer...
- A highly flexible, remote-first working environment 🌎
- Competitive compensation + significant equity 🤑
- Unlimited PTO (we encourage you to take off at least 3 weeks/year)
- Homecomings where we gather in one spot to meet each other and work together
