Job Summary

About Dora Factory
Dora Factory is building the next generation of governance infrastructure for decentralized and real-world communities. With advanced cryptographic stacks such as MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) and anonymous MACI (aMACI) Dora Factory is a leader in privacy-preserving tamper-resistant voting technology. By pushing the boundaries of trustless anonymous and autonomous governance were not only creating infrastructure for communities of the future but also building new platforms for world consciousness.

About the Role
An aMACI - Cryptographic Research Engineer to join our research engineer team focused on advancing the MACI anonymous MACI and other advanced governance protocols. You will be designing and engineering novel cryptographic mechanisms that are core to collusion resistance anonymity and censorship-resistance in decentralized governance systems and autonomous work will directly contribute to the evolution of autonomous privacy-preserving organizations.

Key Responsibilities

Research and develop enhancements to the MACI and aMACI protocols with a focus on scalability anonymity and verifiability.
Implement and test advanced cryptographic primitives (e.g. ZK-SNARKs FHE threshold cryptography) in autonomous systems.
Collaborate with protocol engineers and product teams to integrate cryptographic innovations into real-world deployments.
Conduct threat modeling and security analysis to ensure robustness against collusion bribery and deanonymization.
Optimize cryptographic circuits and improve gas efficiency for on-chain operations.
Publish findings write documentation and contribute to open-source codebases supporting MACI/aMACI.
Stay up to date on cutting-edge cryptographic research and bring best practices to the team.

Required Qualifications

Bachelors Masters or Ph.D. in Cryptography Foundation Computer Science Applied Mathematics or related fields.
Experience working with libraries like Circom Halo2 Arkworks or gnark.
Solid understanding of cryptographic protocols such as zero-knowledge proofs (e.g. SNARKs STARKs) secure multi-party computation and anonymous credentials.
Experience implementing cryptographic systems in Rust TypeScript or Solidity.
A strong understanding of privacy identity and governance challenges in decentralized systems.

Preferred Qualifications

Contributions to open-source cryptography repos or zero-knowledge proof systems.
Prior experience with MACI or anonymous voting systems.
Familiarity with Ethereum and layer-2 ecosystems especially ZK-rollups.
Familiarity with CosmosSDK and CosmosWasm.
Publications or active participation in cryptography or blockchain research communities (e.g. IACR ZK Summit EthResearch).
Familiarity with governance design decentralized voting mechanisms and DAOs.
