Who We Are

Source is building edge-first data infrastructure that unchains developers from the cloud. We're a team of "Sourcerers" creating systems that run where life happens — on devices, in vehicles, across cities, under water, and out in orbit. Our mission is to give developers and users true sovereignty over their software and data.

You'll be joining our team dedicated to delivering a novel open financial stack that combines zero-knowledge privacy infrastructure with Source's edge-native technology — creating financial systems that work everywhere, not just where cloud coverage permits.

What We're Building

Multi-chain privacy infrastructure with a zero-knowledge UTXO root chain (Penumbra) connected to an EVM application layer via native interoperability protocols. Built for an institutional client with regulatory compliance features.

What You'll Do

• Design ZK circuits for private UTXO note transactions with confidential amounts/addresses
• Extend cross-chain privacy protocol with interchain accounts
• Implement selective disclosure systems (viewing keys) for regulatory compliance
• Optimize proof generation for high-throughput institutional transaction volumes

Requirements

• 5+ years production ZK proof system experience
• Strong UTXO blockchain and privacy protocol knowledge
• Advanced Rust for cryptographic implementations
• Experience with Groth16, or similar zk-SNARK systems, and curves like BLS12-377

Compensation

• $200k - $300k base + equity
• Comprehensive benefits

Apply With

1. ZK circuit portfolio with performance benchmarks
2. Resume highlighting relevant ZK/privacy protocol experience
3. Rust code samples (ZK implementations preferred)
