ZK Engineer at ENS Labs
ENS Labs, a leading decentralized naming system built on the Ethereum blockchain, is seeking a talented ZK Engineer to join our team. As one of the first protocols built on Ethereum, ENS has over 3 million registered .eth names and has integrated with over 20 million ENS names from major teams such as Coinbase, Uniswap, and Linea. We are on a mission to make crypto-powered experiences as accessible and user-friendly as browsing the web.
Role Overview
As a ZK Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing and implementing Zero-Knowledge proof solutions for the ENS ecosystem. This includes enhancing the platform’s security, scalability, and privacy features. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate ZK technology into ENS’s existing and future infrastructure, ensuring alignment with decentralized principles and privacy concerns.
What You’ll Do
• Design, implement, and optimize Zero-Knowledge proof systems (such as zk-SNARKs or zk-STARKs) to improve the privacy, scalability, and performance of the ENS platform.
• Work with product and engineering teams to develop privacy-preserving features for ENS users, ensuring the protection of sensitive data while maintaining decentralization.
• Collaborate with Ethereum and blockchain engineers to integrate ZK solutions with existing smart contracts, layer-2 protocols, and other decentralized systems.
• Implement Zero-Knowledge scalability solutions to optimize ENS performance, ensuring security and integrity through testing and auditing cryptographic proofs and smart contracts.
• Work closely with other engineers to ensure seamless integration of ZK features across the ENS platform.
• Contribute to the ENS community and the broader Ethereum ecosystem by sharing knowledge about ZK technologies, best practices, and new developments in privacy and scalability solutions.
Who You Are
• 3+ years of experience with Zero-Knowledge proofs or cryptographic tech in blockchain or distributed systems.
• Proficient in ZK protocols and privacy-enhancing cryptographic techniques.
• Hands-on experience with Ethereum smart contracts, Layer-2 solutions, and blockchain tech.
• Strong understanding of Ethereum, DeFi, and Web3 ecosystems.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply ZK to privacy, scalability, and security challenges.
• Experience designing and implementing cryptographic solutions in decentralized systems.
• Strong communication skills, able to explain complex concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
It’s a Plus, If You Have
• Familiarity with Ethereum Layer-2 protocols (e.g., Optimistic Rollups, zk-Rollups) and their interaction with Zero-Knowledge proofs.
• Experience with formal verification of cryptographic protocols or smart contracts.
• Contributions to open-source cryptographic projects or publications in cryptography and blockchain.
