Chainway Labs is seeking a Senior Protocol Engineer to join our team at Citrea, Bitcoin’s First ZK Rollup. At Citrea, our goal is to secure on-chain finance with Bitcoin. We believe that Bitcoin and its values should be scaled to serve as the standard for decentralized finance.

This approach makes Citrea the first scaling solution to enable more complex applications without compromising Bitcoin security and changing its consensus rules.

Collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure seamless protocol integration
Build and optimize core bridge components such as state proof generation, verifier binaries, and signature collection

Lead testing efforts to validate protocol correctness and bridge reliability
Requirements:
A minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in protocol development
Proficiency in Rust
Exceptional communication skills in English, both written and spoken
An aptitude for quick thinking, problem-solving, and clearly and effectively expressing solutions

Nice to have:
Knowledge of Bitcoin, Lightning Network, and Ethereum rollups, particularly ZK rollups
Understanding of Blockchain and layer 2 architectures
Previous start-up experience or demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit
