Our Mission

Sunscreen is building the privacy engine of the new web. We're bringing private computation to all by making advanced cryptography (i.e. fully homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs) easy to use.

What you'll accomplish your 1st year here

• You'll help build the core infrastructure of a new cryptographic system (alongside a cryptographer!) 🛠
• You’ll implement cryptographic primitives (including zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption) and write robust, security-first code that will run in high-risk, adversarial environments
• You'll become familiar with the latest advances in cryptography and determine their applicability to Sunscreen’s system
• You'll have opportunities to present your work at conferences 👏

You...

• Believe everyone has the right to privacy 🔒
• Think technology should be frictionless (documentation is important to you!)
• Have significant experience implementing cryptographic primitives (ideally efficient zero-knowledge proof systems) in a performant and modular way
• Are comfortable working with multiple programming languages
• Are excited to get your hands dirty learning new math and cryptography (with help of course!) ✍️
• Look forward to collaborating with others
• Have excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical issues to a non-technical audience

We offer...

• A highly flexible, remote-first working environment 🌎
• Competitive compensation + significant equity 🤑
• Unlimited PTO (we encourage you to take off at least 3 weeks/year)
• Homecomings where we gather in one spot to meet each other and work together
