International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Clearmatics is a protocol engineering company who are building a new financial market architecture that is more open, fair, and resilient than the legacy systems that are in use today.

We are looking for a cryptography engineer, who loves challenges and has a research-oriented mindset. You cultivate an adversarial attitude, always thinking ahead and trying to exploit the code you write and protocols you design. You always look forward to making your code more efficient without compromising on readability and robustness. Code quality and consistency mean everything to you.

Above all, you are a truth seeker and an outstanding communicator/listener not afraid of challenging (and being challenged by) your peers. Unconditional lover of simplicity and robustness, you never miss an opportunity to learn and extend your knowledge basis.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Assist in the design of cryptographic protocols.

- Collaborate with your colleagues on the implementation of cryptographic primitives and protocols.

- Produce technical design specifications.

- Produce externally facing artefacts (e.g. blog posts, papers, documentation excerpts etc.)

- Support research colleagues in conducting their research.

- Interface with the Engineering team to ease the transition of the research pieces of code into robust production software fully integrated with our stack.

- Keep up with new research in the space.

REQUIREMENTS​

- Fluency in English (written and spoken).

- Background in applied Computer Science.

- Experience with system programming (C/C++/Rust).

- Strong applied cryptography skills (experience implementing robust elliptic curve cryptography).

- Outstanding algorithmic thinking.

- Strong focus on code quality/documentation and simplicity.

Nice to haves

- Knowledge of Unix and bash.

- Experience with constant time cryptography.

- Experience with cryptography on embedded systems.

- Experience with Ethereum or other blockchain projects.

- Experience contributing to open-source cryptography libraries.

- Experience with Pyt
