SDK Engineer
Full time
Remote
At O(1) Labs, we are on a mission to drive a new era of applications powered by zero-knowledge cryptography. We are seeking a skilled and enthusiastic engineer to join the O(1) Labs Engineering team. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a close-knit team, work independently on captivating interdisciplinary challenges, and contribute to groundbreaking projects.
Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain o1js, integrating it with various cryptographic systems and leveraging Mina Protocol.
Build and maintain the zkapp-cli, which assists in scaffolding zkApps and offers developer tools for testing and deployment to Mina Protocol.
Create and maintain innovative tools to support zkApp development.
Understand and address the obstacles encountered by developers in this space.
Collaborate with a Product Manager and other engineering teams.
Participate in periodic team offsites held globally.
We welcome applications from engineers with diverse skill sets who are motivated to tackle novel problems in challenging areas. Proficiency in TypeScript or at least JavaScript is essential, with additional interest or expertise in functional programming, cryptography/blockchains, zero-knowledge proof systems, low-level performance optimizations, distributed systems, and conference speaking viewed favorably. While a strong foundation in TypeScript is a prerequisite, we value an individual's unique background and skills over specific requirements.
About the Company:
O(1) Labs comprises the team behind the incubation, launch, and development of Mina Protocol, a Layer 1 blockchain that drastically reduces blockchain size and remains scalable and decentralized, empowered by zero-knowledge technology. Through Mina and zk tech, we are at the forefront of constructing a privacy-focused Web 3.0.
Our pursuit aims to reshape societal systems, guided by a commitment to integrating diverse perspectives at every stage of innovation.

Engineering manager - Exploration team
Full time
Remote
The Opportunity:
We are seeking skilled and driven engineers to join the Engineering team at O(1) Labs. This role provides a unique chance to be part of a small, collaborative team, offering significant autonomy while working on complex interdisciplinary challenges in computing. You will be instrumental in advancing the first cryptocurrency protocol with a succinct blockchain, Mina Protocol.
The Team:
The Exploration team at O(1) Labs will focus on leveraging o1js, kimchi, and Mina directly. This team will prototype the latest zkApp concepts internally, experiment with new zk designs, and develop innovative uses for o1js. They are poised to inspire both the community and the O(1) staff through impactful projects that can serve as models, spark new ventures, and contribute to the ecosystem's success.
By sharing their progress at events, this team will reinforce O(1) Labs' standing as experts in zk engineering and pivotal contributors to the ecosystem. They will also actively support and guide developers of all levels, enabling prompt resolution of any issues or challenges faced.
The team's unique insights and expertise will play a crucial role in shaping the direction of O(1) Labs, guiding the focus for the organization's growth. Additionally, they will uphold the engineering tradition of sharing learnings and innovative projects to position O(1) Labs as a thought leader in the zk field.
The Role:
Mina is at the core of O(1) Labs' mission, and as zkApps rapidly evolve, there is a need to expand the community and set standards for innovation. We are seeking a dynamic leader to cultivate and empower the Exploration team, ensuring they remain at the forefront of zk technology. This role involves guiding team members in supporting and enriching the ecosystem through engagements with external partners and the broader Mina community.
Responsibilities Include:
Providing mentorship to engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and empowerment
Establishing team structure, culture, and processes that promote high collaboration and accountability
Nurturing an environment for continuous learning and expertise development, keeping abreast of the latest technologies
Demonstrating a deep understanding of the interplay between the proof system, protocol, and SDK to enable zkApps effectively
Collaborating with various teams to drive well-informed engineering roadmaps
Assisting in partner project development through zkApps solutions architects
Contributing to the overall success and excellence of O(1) Labs
Ideal Candidates Should Have Experience In:
Managing an engineering team
Zero-knowledge proof systems and cryptographic concepts
Public-facing projects and innovative research
Programming language theory, particularly JavaScript or Typescript
API abstractions and enhancing Developer Experience
While preference will be given to candidates with relevant experience, we are open to diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
