Binance Accelerator Program - Post-Quantum Cryptography Researcher
Job Description
Binance Accelerator Program - Post-Quantum Cryptography Researcher
About The Team
Join the Cryptographic Tech Team at Binance and be at the forefront of pioneering advancements in cryptographic technology! We research the latest cryptographic protocols and encryption primitives, implementing them in our products to enhance user asset security, on-chain privacy, and exchange transparency. Make a significant impact in the world of cryptography with us.
Responsibilities
- Conduct cutting-edge research on post-quantum cryptographic protocols, including threshold signatures, signature aggregation, and proof systems for blockchain applications
- Explore and benchmark NIST post-quantum signature standards and emerging constructions from recent academic literature
- Collaborate with senior researchers and engineers to translate research outcomes into practical applications
- Publish research findings and contribute to open-source cryptographic projects when appropriate
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science, Cryptography, or a closely related field
- Strong theoretical and practical knowledge of cryptography, especially in post-quantum signatures, MPC/threshold protocols, or interactive proof systems (e.g., sumcheck-based protocols)
- Proficiency in at least one of Rust, C++, or Python - Ability to read and formalize security proofs from academic literature
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior research experience or publications in post-quantum cryptography, threshold signatures, or verifiable computation
- Familiarity with blockchain architectures, smart contract platforms, and on-chain signature verification constraints
- Proficiency in leveraging AI tools to accelerate research workflows
