In this role, you will be responsible for the architecture and design of protocols within Ockam. This is an applied cryptography role which will involve researching and applying robust, peer reviewed, cryptographic primitives to the design of our protocols. The role will also involve implementing cryptographic primitives and protocols in Rust. You will also get to work with our C and Elixir libraries. Your expertise with Elliptic Curve Cryptography, Bi-linear Parings, and several Authenticated Key Exchange protocols will be challenged in this role on the Ockam Team. Ockam is a small and extremely senior team. This role involves architecture, interface design, writing code, responsibility for testing, and publishing documentation. Everyone on the Ockam team takes responsibility for their parts from end-to-end, including the creation of long term objectives, issues in GitHub, task management, and summaries of key results.
