This position is in Blockchain team.
Zama recently unveiled the Zama Confidential Blockchain Protocol, which enables confidential smart contracts on top of any blockchain L1 or L2 using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). The Blockchain division is working on our managed relayer that lets internal teams and external developers use the open-source Zama Protocol through simple, authenticated HTTPS endpoints. Think Infura or Alchemy, but confidential by default.
We are looking for a hands-on DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to design, build, and operate the cloud and platform foundations of ZDP. You will help shape the front door to Zama’s privacy-preserving technology. Your work will remove complexity for developers, accelerate internal iteration, and underpin how confidential applications get built and scaled.
