Partisia | Aarhus, Denmark or REMOTE | https://www.partisiablockchain.com Do you want to build the next generation internet platform? Blockchains with smart contract support (like Ethereum) allow for arbitrary computations with guaranteed integrity. However, computations are public, which is often a major limitation. Partisia is making a blockchain where computations can also be confidential, even to the nodes that are running it. It is done with a blockchain based secure multiparty computation (MPC) orchestration platform. MPC is an extension of ZK proofs, giving the possibility to perform arbitrary privacy-preserving computations. We need engineers to work on a new programming language for writing smart contracts which allows distinguishing public state from private state. Executing computations in MPC requires specialized optimization and reordering of the computation graph - which needs to be integrated into the execution environment of the language. Expertise in compilers, optimization, graph theory, distributed systems or cryptography is helpful. Apply here: https://partisia.com/career/programming-language-expert-for-... We are also looking for people to build the governance layer of the blockchain, i.e. the operating system for users of the platform. This work will be part software part cryptographic engineering. Understanding of game theory and finance is helpful. Apply here: https://partisia.com/career/software-developer-governance/
