Job description

Prover Network is developing the infrastructure necessary to meet the increasing demands for proof generation, due

to the increasing popularity of zero-knowledge proofs. While proof generation is time-consuming for end users,

leading to a bad user experience, proof generation for industrial provers requires them to deploy power-hungry and

partially utilized GPUs, leading to the challenging task of making the proof generation business economical. Prover

Network aims to solve the problem by creating a platform for easy delegation of the proving task.


Prover Network will build a specialized zkVM optimized not only for fast parallel proving, but also for

privacy-preserving delegation. Furthermore, it will build a platform around it for seamless delegation of proving

computation and for fast proving.

We are seeking a seasoned Protocol Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design and
implementation of core components of Prover Network, including highly optimized communication between the
clients and GPUs and the consensus protocol. You will collaborate closely on the design with Dr. Rao and lead the
implementation, while building out the necessary team.

As an early team member, you will help shape not only the protocol, but also who we are at Prover Network. You
will set a technical standard for Prover Network and eventually one of the core contributors of how verifiable
delegation of computation is executed in the world. You will have the freedom and autonomy to shape the direction
of our culture and platform, contributing your ideas and expertise to drive its evolution. You will be challenged with
complex problem-solving in a rapidly evolving problem space, allowing you to expand your skill set and grow
alongside the company.
