Applied Cryptographer

Gnosis Guild is hiring an Applied Cryptographer to join our incubated venture, Enclave.

Enclave is an open-source protocol for encrypted execution environments (E3), enabling web2 and web3 organizations to create the next generation of privacy-preserving applications. By integrating fully-homomorphic encryption (FHE) with threshold cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), Enclave simplifies the complexities of advanced encryption and fulfils the need for data privacy and computational integrity in an increasingly vulnerable landscape.

We envision a future where privacy-preserving applications are the norm, not the exception.
