Senior Applied Cryptographer

The Security Research Group at Microsoft Research Redmond is pushing the boundary of what is possible with the fascinating primitive of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. You’ll work alongside experts who are shaping the future of secure and privacy-preserving computation through real-world applications of this primitive. Your contributions will help define the next generation of secure, scalable, and private systems in the cloud. As a Senior Applied Cryptographer, you will design and implement next-generation zero-knowledge proof systems targeting improved performance, higher security (e.g., resistance to quantum computers), and programmability (e.g., supporting general computation). In this role, you’ll deepen your expertise in state-of-the-art proof systems and high-speed implementations. You’ll have opportunities to grow your skills through hands-on innovation and collaboration with world-class researchers and engineers.
