The role as a Core Engineer within the Zcash Foundation team will be responsible for working with the engineering team to build Zebra and its associated projects. The ideal candidate will embody the Foundationâs values while fully aligning with its mission and goals. Currently the engineering team is working on Zebra, an independent implementation of the Zcash protocol written in Rust, and over the coming year, the team will expand its scope to include user-facing functionality, as well as new functionality, such as support for FROST. The position reports to the Zcash Foundationâs engineering manager.
The Zcash Foundation is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit, public charity that builds and supports privacy infrastructure for the public good. We work on strengthening financial privacy with technology, focusing primarily on the Zcash protocol and blockchain.
Â
We are looking for someone who is as excited as we are about building private financial infrastructure for the public good.
Â
Why work at the Zcash Foundation?
Â
Â
It is the Zcash Foundationâs policy to provide equal employment opportunity (EEO) to all persons regardless of age, color, national origin, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, race, religion, creed, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, genetic information, marital or domestic partner status, status with regard to public assistance, veteran status, physical characteristics, family care, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. In addition, the Zcash Foundation will provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities.
When evaluating candidates, the Foundation will primarily evaluate candidates on the results of their take home project and interviews. Additionally, we look at work samples and collaborative interviews for further evaluation.
Â
To apply, please submit the following to this form:Â
Â
Â
We will follow up within a week of your submission.
We expect this position to contribute to producing engineering artifacts that meet the needs of our projects. We use past work to evaluate how you will likely perform in future work for the foundation. If you donât have existing public work, thatâs OK â just pick something youâve done and describe it for us in as much detail as necessary to understand it.Â
We work remotely on an open source project, so most of our communication with each other, our users, and external contributors happens through text. Send us some writing that youâre proud of. This could be something like:
Â
Itâs important to be able to make our work legible both to our collaborators and to the public we serve. Along with writing well, oral presentation skills are an important vehicle for this kind of communication. If youâve given a technical presentation that is publicly available, please provide a link to the slides and video (if available).
If you donât have a publicly available presentation, please describe a topic youâve presented in the past.
There will be two technical interviews and at least one non-technical interview, all conducted over video chat.
Â
Â
All interviews will be conducted over Google Meet.Â
Privacy is a fundamental human right. Its essence is the individualâs ability to choose what information is shared with others. Privacy comprises both autonomy and consent; it is essential to human dignity, and the healthy continuation of a diverse and civil society.
Â
Personal financial data can reveal a huge amount of information about a person, and so protecting financial privacy is an essential component of protecting the right to privacy.
Â
Our mission at the Zcash Foundation is to help sustain and improve open financial networks that allow anyone and everyone to protect their own privacy, on their own terms. While our primary focus is the Zcash protocol and blockchain, we also support broader applications of zero knowledge proofs, as well as other approaches to financial privacy.
