About Provable

At Provable, our mission is to redefine trust and privacy in the digital world.

By creating tools that simplify the complexities of zero-knowledge technology, we build applications that prioritize security, user control and scalability. We envision a future where privacy is not an afterthought but a fundamental standard, enabling a more secure and equitable Web3.

Our commitment extends beyond technology to fostering a vibrant, collaborative community of innovators. Through accessible resources, thoughtful design, and a focus on developer success, we aim to bridge the gap between cutting-edge blockchain technology and real-world applications. Together we’re not just building tools-we’re shaping the foundation for a private decentralized future.

The Role

You should be able to clearly and thoroughly communicate your ideas.

The Work
  • Engineer distributed system components such as consensus logic, memory-mapped databases, networking stacks, and synchronization logic to be performant, safe, and correct.

  • Support our infrastructure engineers in maintaining our monitoring and alerting stack to ensure high uptime and streamlined debugging. Participate in an on-call rotation to respond promptly to production incidents and outages.

  • Make protocols accessible to product teams by wrapping key functionality in clean interfaces and APIs.

Key Qualifications
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience

  • 2-3+ years of professional Rust experience

  • A strong foundation in blockchain concepts and ideally, experience contributing to a blockchain project

  • Low-level system programming and/or distributed systems design experience
