This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Zero Knowledge/Cryptography Auditor in Canada .
This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of blockchain security and cryptographic research, focusing on the evaluation and auditing of zero-knowledge systems that power next-generation decentralized applications. You will be responsible for analyzing the correctness, soundness, and security of complex cryptographic protocols across cutting-edge ecosystems. The position combines deep theoretical cryptography with hands-on engineering, requiring close collaboration with researchers, protocol engineers, and clients. You will contribute to strengthening the security of high-impact blockchain systems while helping design and improve advanced auditing tools. The environment is highly technical, research-driven, and fast-evolving, with constant exposure to new cryptographic innovations. This is a unique opportunity to directly influence the security and reliability of foundational Web3 infrastructure.
Accountabilities:
- Conduct in-depth security audits of cryptographic protocols, zero-knowledge systems, zkDSL circuits, and zkVM guest programs
- Evaluate correctness, soundness, completeness, and privacy guarantees in ZK-based implementations
- Review production-level code across Ethereum, Layer 2, and other blockchain ecosystems to identify vulnerabilities and propose fixes
- Collaborate with security engineers and researchers to improve internal auditing methodologies and tooling
- Design and develop new tools for analyzing and securing cryptographic and zero-knowledge systems
- Stay up to date with emerging ZK frameworks, proof systems, and cryptographic attack vectors
- Participate in client discussions to present findings, recommend mitigations, and support remediation efforts
- Contribute to internal research documentation and knowledge sharing initiatives
Requirements:
- 1+ year of experience in security auditing, cryptography, or zero-knowledge systems
- Degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics, or a related technical field
- Strong understanding of cryptographic principles, including primitives and protocol design
- Practical experience implementing or auditing cryptographic systems
- Proficiency in Rust, with experience reviewing Rust-based codebases considered a strong advantage
- Hands-on experience with at least one zero-knowledge proof system (e.g., Groth16, PLONK, Halo2, Bulletproofs)
- Experience using at least one zkDSL (e.g., Circom, Noir, Cairo, Halo2, or similar)
- Solid understanding of zkVM architectures and proof generation pipelines
- Strong analytical and debugging skills, with reverse engineering experience considered a plus
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and client interaction
- Familiarity with advanced cryptographic primitives or prior cybersecurity experience is a plus
Benefits:
- Fully remote, global-first work environment
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge cryptography and blockchain security systems
- Exposure to leading experts in zero-knowledge and decentralized technologies
- Strong learning and professional development opportunities through mentorship and training
- Participation in global blockchain events and industry conferences
- Collaborative, research-driven, and innovation-focused culture
- Career growth opportunities in a rapidly evolving technical domain
- Inclusive and diverse international team environment
