Our Mission
Sunscreen is building the privacy engine of the new web. We're bringing private computation to all by making advanced cryptography (i.e. fully homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs) easy to use.
What you'll accomplish your 1st year here
You'll help build the core infrastructure of a new cryptographic system (alongside a cryptographer!)
You’ll implement cryptographic primitives (including zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption) and write robust, security-first code that will run in high-risk, adversarial environments
You'll become familiar with the latest advances in cryptography and determine their applicability to Sunscreen’s system
You'll have opportunities to present your work at conferences
You...
Believe everyone has the right to privacy
Think technology should be frictionless (documentation is important to you!)
Have significant experience implementing cryptographic primitives (ideally efficient zero-knowledge proof systems) in a performant and modular way
Are comfortable working with multiple programming languages
Are excited to get your hands dirty learning new math and cryptography (with help of course!)
Look forward to collaborating with others
Have excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical issues to a non-technical audience
We offer...
A highly flexible, remote-first working environment
Competitive compensation + significant equity
Unlimited PTO (we encourage you to take off at least 3 weeks/year)
Homecomings where we gather in one spot to meet each other and work together
Annual health and wellness budget
Personal development budget
Medical/dental/vision insurance
401k plan + match
1:1 charity donation match
Opportunity to travel to and present at conferences if desired (we hope you do!)
About Us
We're currently a team of 5.
We like exploring new parks (one of us has a golden retriever), grabbing a coffee to read with a good book (preferably non-fiction), playing tennis, and volunteering in our free time!
