Looking to join a world-class blockchain development team? Ava Labs makes it simple to deploy high-performance solutions for Web3, led by innovations on Avalanche. The company was founded by Cornell computer scientists, who partnered with Wall Street veterans and early Web3 leaders to execute a promising vision for redefining the way people build permissionless networks. Ava Labs is redefining the way people create value with Web3. Join us as we empower people to easily and freely digitize all the world’s assets on one open, programmable blockchain platform

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Safely apply existing cryptography systems to unlock new functionality in Avalanche
  • Research and implement novel cryptography algorithms that could be used to unlock new functionality in the Avalanche Network and/or to custody assets on Avalanche
  • Support the growth of Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machines on Avalanche by providing recommendations and proofs-of-concept to the Subnet builder community
  • Collaborate with other researchers in the space and present findings at academic conferences

WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT

  • You believe in a future where blockchain technologies make the world a more fair and free place for everyone.
  • You have the desire to work on open-source code and engage with the community. You wish to work together with other talented contributors instead of working alone.
  • You are a coder. You implement demos and proofs-of-concept before writing multi-page technical documents.
  • You create and find projects that provide value. You don’t need to wait for someone to tell you what to research or work on. We hire awesome engineers to tell us what we should build, not the other way around.
  • You have an obsession with code quality and performance. You ship code when it is ready, not as soon as it passes unit tests.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

  • Demonstrated capability in subject area (open source code or published work is a bonus)
  • Rust, Golang, Java, or C++ programming experience

What about minimum experience or education?  If you are smart and talented, it doesn’t matter how you became smart and talented. What about location restrictions? We have a fully remote engineering team and look to hire the best wherever they are.

Salary Range: $158,400.00 - $208,200.00 (**This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience and geographic location.)
