Lurk Lab @ Protocol Labs | Multiple Positions | REMOTE | Full-time contract-to-hire Lurk Lab is building Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang), a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs. Lurk implements a minimal Lisp whose program executions can be proved in zero-knowledge, yielding succinct proofs that are concretely small and fast to verify. Lurk uses a Rust implementation (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs) for expression evaluation, proving, and verification, with Nova (https://github.com/microsoft/Nova/) as its proving backend. Because Lurk is Turing-complete, it can be used to make and prove arbitrary computational claims (within resource limits). We are looking for strong cryptography engineers, researchers, documentation specialists, applications developers, and start-up leaders/web3 entrepreneurs who want to build next-generation SNARK technology. Relevant programming languages include Rust, Lisp, and (less significantly) WASM. We are hiring for: - Rust Cryptography Engineers, https://grnh.se/d94e94ec4us - Software Engineers for Lurk Application Development, https://grnh.se/de7e82424us - Documentation Engineer, https://grnh.se/10e2ca4d4us - Start-up operator / business lead (currently unlisted, email luke.sandquist@protocol.ai with CV and a brief cover letter describing your experience driving the business end of deep technical projects in the web3 space)
