About Provable

At Provable, our mission is to redefine trust and privacy in the digital world.

By creating tools that simplify the complexities of zero-knowledge technology, we empower developers to build applications that prioritize security, user control and scalability. We envision a future where privacy is not an afterthought but a fundamental standard, enabling a more secure and equitable Web3.

Our commitment extends beyond technology to fostering a vibrant, collaborative community of innovators. Through accessible resources, thoughtful design, and a focus on developer success, we aim to bridge the gap between cutting-edge blockchain technology and real-world applications. Together we’re not just building tools-we’re shaping the foundation for a private decentralized future.

Summary

Provable is searching for exceptional senior Rust engineers to help build privacy preserving zero knowledge protocols and products.

As a Provable senior engineer you will use your engineering talent to design, implement and maintain both cryptographic and distributed systems and help build privacy preserving products on top of those systems. Collaboration will be key. You should be able to work well with engineers, designers, and leadership to turn our products and technical vision into deliverables each quarter. You should be able to clearly and thoroughly communicate your ideas.

The Work

Distributed Systems Development: Engineer distributed system components such as consensus logic, memory-mapped databases, networking stacks, and synchronization logic to be performant, safe, and correct.

Cryptography Engineering: Maintain and optimize low level cryptographic logic, from signature schemes to zero-knowledge proof systems. You will be working in close collaboration with other mathematicians, so we do not expect you to be a cryptographer.

Product Engineering: Help product teams integrate the protocols you work with into their products by encapsulating useful pieces of the protocols into easy to use interfaces and APIs.

Key Qualifications

5+ years of software engineering experience
2-3+ years of professional Rust experience
A strong foundation in blockchain concepts and ideally, experience contributing to a blockchain project
Low-level system programming and/or distributed systems design experience
