About Hylé Hylé is pioneering the future of blockchain infrastructure with ZK technology. Our approach promises a streamlined, efficient blockchain, maintaining its key features: censorship resistance, permissionless value, and reliable decentralization. Backed with $5M from leading VCs, we're building our team, currently led by founders Sylve (CEO) and Lancelot (CTO). Our goals are ambitious - B2B use cases within 4 months, series A within the year, and going live on mainnet within 24 months.

Programming Skills

Deep experience in one of: Go / Rust / C++ / C
Deep experience in one of: Ruby / Javascript / Typescript / Python
Some knowledge of Web3 / blockchain is a big plus
Some experience with infrastructure stacks (either AWS/GCS/Azure management, k8s, …) is appreciated

Other skills

Willing to work in a venture start-up with high risk - this is a go big or go home project
Highly adaptable - we will try to remain rather nimble, and while the overall goal is well specified the path to get there is subject to change
Good with feedback, communication, transparency
Business & delivery oriented
English mandatory, French appreciated

Key responsibilities

The core technical objective is twofold: shipping B2B use-cases in the coming months, then expanding that a permissionless mainnet blockchain with 24 months. You can expect:
At first working on a Cosmos SDK app written in Go, augmenting it with verifiers for various ZK proving schemes (those mostly written in rust).
Exporting the implications of our new architecture by writing our own apps
Bridging the state of the chain to/from other networks such as Ethereum
Working on support for various wallets
Investigate the need to switch away from the Cosmos SDK, and if this path is taken, participate in writing a new blockchain stack. If not, modify the cosmos SDK accordingly.

Compensation & benefits

Highly competitive salary + Equity
Alan Green Mutuelle
Computer of your choice
Flexible remote policy (but no fully remote hire at this time)
Socials - company retreats, weekly gathering

Other important info We share an office in Paris (Le Peletier) with other tech companies, and would prefer avoiding fully remote hires at this time. Flexible remote is very possible. Interview process is straightforward - a quick initial screening call, an in depth technical dive to answer any questions, a technical architecture interview, and a “fit” interview with my cofounder.
