Technical Product Manager

What We're Building

ZK proofs are one of the most critical technologies to blockchain scaling, interoperability and privacy, but are too complex for most developers today. Succinct’s mission is to make zero knowledge proofs accessible to any developer.

SP1 is a state of the art, 100% open-source zkVM with performance that rivals custom ZK circuits and is up to 30x faster than any existing zkVM. SP1 is a turning point for ZKP adoption : it makes it easy for any developer to use ZKPs by writing normal code in Rust (instead of complex circuits). The Succinct Prover Network , under active development, is a hosted infrastructure layer for any application to outsource proof-generation for open-source proof systems.

Today, top teams in the space, including Polygon , Sovereign , Celestia , Wormhole , Lido , Taiko , EigenLayer , Avail , Near , and Gnosis are using Succinct’s infrastructure to build with ZKPs. We have a track record of shipping excellent products and cutting-edge technical work in ZK and have generated significant revenue already.

We recently announced our $55 million raise across our Seed and Series A led by Paradigm, the leading investor in crypto. Our team is still small but incredibly strong, and we are looking for exceptional people who are excited to work hard on challenging and impactful problems in a fast-paced environment. Our office is located in San Francisco and we have a strong preference for candidates based there for this role, but are open to exceptional remote candidates.
