Let’s work for a new tech #startup that aims to create a generic decentralized prover network. This network will be designed for deploying arbitrary provers as on-chain programs while maintaining performance levels similar to centralized provers. The vision behind this initiative is to make the creation of performant zk-based systems, such as validity rollups, as straightforward as deploying smart contracts. As a System Engineer, you will transform ideas into robust, elegantly written code that others will find easy to understand and modify. You possess a solid grasp of distributed systems and a deep understanding of Linux internals. Any additional experience in low-level systems is considered advantageous. Familiarity with blockchain is not mandatory but can be beneficial.
