International Association
for Cryptologic Research

The Laboratory for Computation Security at EPFL, led by Prof. Alessandro Chiesa, is hiring a Cryptography Engineer.

You will join the lab as a full-time developer, and collaborate with other researchers (graduate students and postdoctoral scholars) to create high-quality open-source software that realizes complex cryptographic protocols.

The group's research include, but is not limited to, computational complexity, zero-knowledge proofs, succint non-interactive arguments (SNARGs) and privacy-enhancing technologies (such as peer-to-peer private payment systems and smart contracts).

Responsabilities:

• Realizing secure and efficient implementations of new cryptographic protocols
• Developing and contributing to open-source libraries for cryptographic proofs
• Helping prepare pedagogical material (software projects for courses)

Your Profile:

• Master's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent engineering experience)
• Experience in software development with Rust and C++
• Knowledge of basic algebra (groups, finite fields, ...) and basic cryptography (hash functions, encryption, ...)
