About p0x labs

p0x labs, a group developing technologies behind projects including Manta Network, delivers privacy for web3 applications and decentralized assets through use of zero-knowledge proofs. The project is built in accordance with first principles, by applying cutting-edge cryptographic constructions such as zkSNARKs to design and deploy protocols with high performance and strong privacy/security guarantees.

Manta Network is supported by leading investors including Polychain and Binance Labs. The founding team has extensive experience in the blockchain space and come from educational institutions including Harvard and MIT, and leading web3 projects such as Algorand. If you are excited about building privacy-preserving solutions using zero-knowledge proofs, building blockchain applications, or learning about Polkadot ecosystems, then we want to hear from you.

About the Internship
Join us for a 12-week full-time internship program for those interested in working at the heart of the privacy space in Web3. You will work on one of a few project areas where you can implement an upgrade or add a new feature to our privacy protocols, with one-on-one mentoring by our Applied Cryptography Lead Engineer. The projects will have you working on and learning all about the important areas of any cryptographic protocol:
(1) the software implementation
(2) the formal specification
(3) integration into a user-facing wallet/app and
(4) user documentation.
 
You’ll conclude the program with a presentation of your work to our engineering teams.
