About Cryptography Jobs

This page lists cryptography jobs at crypto and blockchain companies — applied cryptographers, zero-knowledge engineers, cryptography researchers and security engineers who work on protocol internals. Listings come from protocol teams, zk infrastructure providers, wallet and custody companies, and audit and research firms.

Two fairly different profiles show up here. Research roles want publications, proofs and familiarity with the underlying literature; engineering roles want people who can implement primitives correctly and fast, often in Rust or C++. Recurring topics include zero-knowledge proof systems, elliptic curves and pairings, multi-party computation, threshold signatures and secure key management. Titles are inconsistent across companies, so read the responsibilities rather than filtering on the title alone.

What qualifications do cryptography jobs require?

Research-oriented roles often ask for a PhD or published work in cryptography, since the job involves designing and analyzing schemes. Applied and engineering roles are more flexible and weigh implementation skill, strong mathematics and evidence you can work from papers into production code. Open-source contributions to proving systems or cryptographic libraries are persuasive in either direction.

What is a zero-knowledge engineer?

Someone who builds systems using zero-knowledge proofs — writing circuits, integrating proving systems, and optimizing proof generation and verification so it is practical at scale. The work sits between cryptography and performance engineering, and often involves Rust or a circuit language such as Circom or Noir. These roles appear on this page alongside broader cryptography positions.

Are cryptography jobs in crypto remote?

Many are, because research and protocol teams are frequently distributed, though some companies prefer people near an existing team for custody or hardware-adjacent work. Remote listings often restrict hiring to particular countries or time zones, so confirm that before you apply. To see only remote roles across the site, use /jobs/remote.
