What We're Building

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 SP1, 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 Succinct Prover Network -- 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:

  • Polygon is using SP1 to build AggLayer and Katana

  • Celestia and Avail use our network to secure Ethereum bridges

  • Mantle ($2B TVL) is using it to become the world’s largest ZK Layer 2

  • And many more, including Celo, Interchain (IBC V2), Hibachi, Lido, Galxe, Taiko, Sovereign, and others

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 we're a small, high-performing team focused on building deeply technical products with real-world adoption.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced BD & Growth Lead to join our team to focus on growth related to SP1 and our prover network. In this role you will:

  • Create written content around product developments and partnerships to present to a broader audience and manage a content calendar

  • Work closely with the CEO to build our GTM function from 0 to 1, handling all the inbound and outbound motions for us to scale up our customer base

  • Maintain and deepen relationships with existing customers, as well as explore new partnership opportunities to take Succinct to the next level

  • Work with customers to explore new use-cases for Succinct's technologies based on their feedback and collaborate cross-functionally with the engineering team to incorporate into the product roadmap

This role enables prospective and existing customers to learn more about Succinct and offers a unique opportunity to accelerate Succinct’s growth trajectory while also helping scale the broader crypto ecosystem. You’ll find this work exciting if you enjoy building long-term relationships with customers and working with important, cutting-edge technology.

Qualifications

  • Crypto-native, familiar with ZK and the broader landscape, and understand why ZK will unlock new experiences and applications in crypto

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills 

  • Experience with highly technical products and building customer relationships

  • Ownership mindset 

Nice to have

  • Strong understanding of ZK cryptography and/or some coding background

  • Prior experience in marketing, business development, product management, or a related field in the crypto space

Location: Everyone on our team is located in San Francisco and works together in-person. Ideally, we’re looking for someone who enjoys in-person work and is already in San Francisco or willing to relocate (we can cover relocation costs). For senior candidates who are an exceptional fit, we’d consider a remote position as long as you’re available to onboard in-person for the first few months.

Benefits
  • Highly competitive salary and equity package

  • Full health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents

  • Daily lunch and dinner at the office

  • Travel to industry events and conferences (company-paid)

Not Sure You’re 100% Qualified?

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.
