Job description

About Nexus

Nexus is building a world supercomputer by leveraging the latest advancements in cryptography, engineering, and science. Our team of experts is developing and deploying the Nexus Layer 1, the Nexus Network, and Nexus zkVM in support of our mission to enable the Verifiable Internet.

Nexus raised $25M in Series A funding, co-led by Lightspeed and Pantera, with participation from Dragonfly, SV Angel, and more.

We are headquartered in San Francisco, and this role will be in-person with the rest of the Nexus team.

Software Engineer - Frontend

The Prover network team is building a massively parallel ZK proving network, where nodes (browsers, servers, phones) contribute compute to the Nexus Supercomputer. Each testnet has drawn significant traction, requiring engineers to help scale it further.

For context, the previous testnet:

2.1 million unique users joined the network during the 4.5-day test period
3.6 million total nodes, more than doubling the node count from the previous testnet
