<h2>What Were Building</h2>Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are critical to the future of blockchain scaling, interoperability, and privacy, but are too complex for most developers today. Succinct’s mission is to make ZKPs simple and accessible for all builders.Our core product is <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.succinct.xyz/introducing-sp1/">SP1</a>, a breakthrough zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) that enables developers to generate ZK proofs from normal code (like Rust) with state-of-the-art performance.To support SP1, we’ve built the <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.succinct.xyz/succinct-network/">Succinct Prover Network</a> -- a protocol on Ethereum that coordinates a decentralized network of provers for universal ZK proof generation. This lets developers outsource proving to a global, competitive marketplace of provers.Our infrastructure is already in production with many of the best teams in crypto:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://blog.succinct.xyz/polygon-sp1/">Polygon</a> is using SP1 to build AggLayer and Katana</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://blog.succinct.xyz/blobstreamx/">Celestia</a> and Avail use our network to secure Ethereum bridges</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://blog.succinct.xyz/succinct-mantle/">Mantle</a> ($2B TVL) is using it to become the world’s largest ZK Layer 2</li><li>And many more, including Celo, Interchain (IBC V2), Hibachi, Lido, Galxe, Taiko, Sovereign, and others</li></ul>zkVMs are now a key part of Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, and Succinct is at the forefront -- delivering real-world impact, meaningful revenue, and some of the most technically ambitious work in ZK.We’ve raised $55M across Seed and Series A from Paradigm, and were a small, high-performing team focused on building deeply technical products with real-world adoption.<h2>The Role</h2>We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead rollup integrations that combine SP1 and the Succinct Network with the various rollup stacks. This is a high-impact, customer-facing role where you’ll own core infrastructure and drive product adoption among leading blockchain teams.In this role you will:<ul><li>Lead integrations of Succinct products with top-tier blockchain projects (e.g. <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/succinctlabs/op-succinct">OP Succinct</a>).</li><li>Design and build new product features across SP1 and our Prover Network APIs based on real customer needs.</li><li>Prototype use cases and developer experiences that showcase the power of ZKPs and push the boundaries of what’s possible.</li></ul>This role is ideal for engineers who combine technical depth with user empathy, and who thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.<h2>Qualifications</h2><ul><li>Deep experience with Rust, Go, or TypeScript.</li><li>Strong familiarity with blockchain infrastructure and systems design.</li><li>Ability to ship end-to-end — from writing APIs to smart contracts to dev tooling.</li><li>A hacker mindset: pragmatic, fast-moving, and eager to explore new stacks.</li><li>Excellent communication and a collaborative approach to cross-functional work.</li><li>A bias for ownership and grit — you figure things out and drive them to completion.</li></ul><h2>Nice to have</h2><ul><li>Experience with rollup frameworks (e.g. OP Stack, Polygon CDK, or Arbitrum)</li><li>Familiarity with zero-knowledge proof systems and cryptographic protocols.</li></ul><h2>Location</h2>This role is remote-friendly with a preference for timezones with some overlap with PST (San Francisco). Our team is primarily based in San Francisco and works together in-person in an office. However, this particular role and team is remote-friendly and offers flexibility on location.<h2>Benefits</h2><ul><li>Highly competitive salary and equity package</li><li>Full health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents</li><li>Daily lunch and dinner at the office</li><li>Travel to industry events and conferences (company-paid)</li></ul><h2>Not Sure You’re 100% Qualified?</h2>That’s okay -- if you’re passionate about ZK, love to learn fast, and are excited by our mission, we’d love to hear from you.
