Company Description

Our is a leading provider of shared security for Bitcoin, enabling the power of the world’s top economic collateral.

Founded by serial entrepreneurs from MIT, Stanford, and YC, they are backed by top crypto leaders, including Hack VC, OKX Ventures, and Franklin Templeton.

Role Overview

This role can flex to be senior, provided you’re capable of executing the work hands-on before building out and managing a team. You’ll join a small, focused team tackling highly technical challenges in a dynamic environment. You’ll collaborate regularly with dApp and infrastructure partner protocols, designing secure and incentive-aligned architectures tailored to their crypto-economic security needs. You’ll also identify emerging use cases for Bitcoin-based secure applications (BVS) and share those insights with the broader Web3 community.

Key Responsibilities

• Design crypto-economically sound architectures with partner protocols
• Research and write blog articles on emerging BVS use cases and core protocol mechanics
• Investigate new AVS projects and networks to analyze their architecture and cryptographic security assumptions
• Write technical litepapers covering various protocol aspects such as slashing mechanisms, tokenomics, and more
• Contribute to academic whitepapers demonstrating the protocol’s correctness and reliability

Key Requirements

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in a technical or engineering field
• Published technical or academic papers in peer-reviewed journals
• Comprehensive knowledge of various decentralized application architectures, including:
  • L1 consensus mechanisms
  • Optimistic and ZK-rollup settlement models
  • BitVM2 settlement on Bitcoin
  • Slashable safety mechanisms on Babylon
  • Restaking protocols (e.g., Eigenlayer)
  • Familiarity with DeFi protocols such as money markets, interest rate swaps, AMMs, perpetual protocols, etc.
    • Bonus if you can creatively explore how to re-implement these protocols as BVSes

What Our Client Offers

• The opportunity to work with a team of motivated, skilled colleagues with proven track records
• Engagement with pioneering work in the Bitcoin space
• A flexible, collaborative work environment with full autonomy in decision-making
• A competitive salary package, including a blend of tokens and other benefits
