Responsibilities You will contribute to one or more of the following research and engineering areas:
Collaborate with cryptography researchers and engineers on protocol design. Topics include:
Data availability & federated storage solutions:
Authenticated data storage / verifiable database query evaluation
Fair data exchange protocols with practical implementations
Data witnessing and non-repudiation in federated systems
Sharding and data replication strategies for distributed storage
ZK-friendly consensus mechanisms
Incentive design for distributed protocols
Privacy-preserving data witnessing
Analyze existing solutions and propose improvements. Propose new, meaningful approaches based on novel cryptography research available in academia.
Document research findings and implementation details.
Implement and test cryptographic protocols.
Clear communication and articulation of abstract ideas.
Requirements No prior experience with web3 / blockchain protocols is required. However, an understanding of cryptographic primitives and protocols is necessary, with focus on either ZK protocols, or distributed systems (consensus protocols / storage protocols).
Excellent problem-solving abilities
Good communication skills and ability to work remotely / independently
Experience with writing academic papers
General familiarity with blockchain / distributed ledger technology
Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience designing zero-knowledge proofs, or systems that utilise ZKPs
Good programming skills (e.g. rust, ocaml)
Industry-level skills are not required, but a hands‑on/hacker mindset is welcome. Understanding of practical software development (e.g. performance aspects)
Learning Opportunities
Mentorship from experienced cryptographers and engineers
Exposure to cutting‑edge research in applied cryptography
Practical experience implementing theoretical protocols
Potential for academic publication and open-source contributions
About O1Labs o1Labs is the team that incubated, launched, and contributed to Mina Protocol, a Layer 1 blockchain that compresses the blockchain from hundreds of gigabytes to the size of a few tweets and can scale to millions of users while remaining decentralized enough for cell phones to be fully verifying nodes.
