As a Cryptographic Engineer in Applied Cryptography, you will play a vital role in developing and implementing cryptographic solutions. You'll work alongside a team of talented individuals, contributing to various projects ranging from prototyping new cryptographic products to optimizing existing ones. You will collaborate closely with software architects, product managers, and other team members to successfully deliver high-quality cryptographic solutions that meet market demands.

You will need to have a strong foundation in engineering principles and a keen interest in cryptography. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies while continuously learning and growing in applied cryptography.

As a Cryptographic Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in implementing Zero-Knowledge (ZK) circuits tailored for integration within the Midnight chain. Your focus will involve leveraging recursive proof technologies, particularly those based on Halo2, to create proofs regarding the Midnight state. These proofs are designed to interface with other ecosystems, such as Cardano, providing a secure and efficient means to interact and exchange information across platforms. Your duties will include:
