About IOHK

IOHK is a company developing new cryptocurrencies and related applications. The goals of IOHK Research, our research division, are to advance the science behind cryptocurrencies and to attest the security of our products by careful analysis of their underlying protocols. Our team at IOHK Research focuses on the analysis of protocol specifications and on theoretical research while programming and implementation are handled by a separate team. At IOHK Research you will be responsible for investigating current cryptocurrencies, formalising security models, proposing new techniques, constructing new schemes and analysing their security.

We want the results of our research to impact both our products and the community, so we highly encourage our researchers to collaborate with other institutions and to publish papers in top conferences and journals. Moreover, we intend to open source most of our software, which will be developed based on techniques investigated by the IOHK Research team. We offer a flexible work style with a chance to work in a very dynamic team with talented people from all around the world, including partners from academia and the open source community.

Full-time Positions in Japan and Remote Part-time Positions

We are currently looking for talented cryptographers to join our team in Japan in full-time positions. We also offer part-time positions to outstanding students who are interested in joining our team while working remotely from their current locations. Knowledge specific to cryptocurrencies is not mandatory at the start, as the candidate is expected to spend 1-2 months developing it.
