Company mission
To unlock the collaborative power of communities by making web3 universally easy to use, access, and build on.
Role
Who you are
- Experience working with compilers
- Established Golang skills
- Strong understanding of blockchain technology and the zkEVM layer 2 protocol
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think creatively
- Strong project management skills and ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
- A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field
- Experience in blockchain development is a plus
- Familiarity with zk-SNARKs or related zero-knowledge proof systems is a plus
What the job involves
- The arithmetization team provides the constraint system underlying Linea’s zkEVM, the compiler which converts high level constraints to polynomial relations and the trace building and expansion tools
- (Compiled) constraints and (expanded) traces are the inputs for producing cryptographic proofs of EVM execution. As such we work in close collaboration with the prover team
- Help Linea scale by optimizing trace production and complex trace manipulations
- Help build a well tested, versatile and efficient constraint compiler and trace manipulation tool in Go
- Use your Go skills to port existing functionalities of our current constraint compiler / trace expander to Go
- Use your knowledge of compilers to enhance our constraints compiler
- Augment its underlying DSL (e.g. by adding new cryptographic primitives)
- Add optimizations (of the output constraint system, trace expansions, type system, …)
- Help us work towards building a field agnostic zkEVM (e.g. by building high level “field agnostic” primities)
- Work in close collaboration with the arithmetization and prover teams
Our take
ConsenSys is a Ethereum software company that builds blockchain tech, allowing businesses to build the next generation of digital and tech applications.
Founded in 2014, ConsenSys’s founder Joseph Lubin had already created the revolutionary Ethereum earlier that year and launched ConsenSys Software and ConsenSys Mesh, a blockchain investment company, to “harness” the powerful capabilities of Ethereum. ConsenSys have moved forward into the Web3 and metaverse space and continue to function on the principles of building a digital, decentralised economy.
Despite unicorn status, ConsenSys continue to operate in uncertain and unpredictable territory. After several bursts of reorganisation and a “merge” of sister company Ethereum, change is the norm for ConsenSys. Regardless, the revolutionary technology and continuous breakthroughs that ConsenSys and the companies it invests in spearhead, show that they're flexible enough to maintain momentum.
