About Hylé
Hylé is pioneering the future of blockchain infrastructure with ZK technology.
Our approach promises a streamlined, efficient blockchain, maintaining its key features: censorship resistance, permissionless value, and reliable decentralization.
Backed with $5M from leading VCs, we're building our team, currently led by founders Sylve (CEO) and Lancelot (CTO). Our goals are ambitious - B2B use cases within 4 months, series A within the year, and going live on mainnet within 24 months.
Programming Skills
The initial team will be 3-4 devs and the CTO, so product ownership will be essential.
The perfect candidate would have all of these, but deep experience in one area can be enough:
- Deep experience in one of: Go / Rust / C++ / C
- Deep experience in one of: Ruby / Javascript / Typescript / Python
- Some knowledge of Web3 / blockchain is a big plus
- Some experience with infrastructure stacks (either AWS/GCS/Azure management, k8s, …) is appreciated
Other skills
- Willing to work in a venture start-up with high risk - this is a go big or go home project
- Highly adaptable - we will try to remain rather nimble, and while the overall goal is well specified the path to get there is subject to change
- Good with feedback, communication, transparency
- Business & delivery oriented
- English mandatory, French appreciated
Key responsibilities
The core technical objective is twofold: shipping B2B use-cases in the coming months, then expanding that a permissionless mainnet blockchain with 24 months. You can expect:
- At first working on a Cosmos SDK app written in Go, augmenting it with verifiers for various ZK proving schemes (those mostly written in rust).
- Exporting the implications of our new architecture by writing our own apps
