Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are critical to the future of blockchain scaling, interoperability, and privacy, but are too complex for most developers today. Succinct’s mission is to make ZKPs simple and accessible for all builders.
Our core product is SP1, a breakthrough zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) that enables developers to generate ZK proofs from normal code (like Rust) with state-of-the-art performance.
To support SP1, we’ve built the Succinct Prover Network -- a protocol on Ethereum that coordinates a decentralized network of provers for universal ZK proof generation. This lets developers outsource proving to a global, competitive marketplace of provers.
Our infrastructure is already in production with many of the best teams in crypto:
Polygon is using SP1 to build AggLayer and Katana
Celestia and Avail use our network to secure Ethereum bridges
Mantle ($2B TVL) is using it to become the world’s largest ZK Layer 2
And many more, including Celo, Interchain (IBC V2), Hibachi, Lido, Galxe, Taiko, Sovereign, and others
zkVMs are now a key part of Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, and Succinct is at the forefront -- delivering real-world impact, meaningful revenue, and some of the most technically ambitious work in ZK.
We’ve raised $55M across Seed and Series A from Paradigm, and we're a small, high-performing team focused on building deeply technical products with real-world adoption.
The RoleWe're looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to spearhead the growth and adoption of Succinct’s market-leading zkVM, SP1. You will be the primary point of contact for developer teams building applications on our platform.
In this role you will:
Be the bridge between Succinct, developers, and other teams working with Succinct
Provide support and guidance to developer teams building applications with SP1
Create content, videos, guides, resources, and documentation that enables builders to utilize SP1.
Collaborate with marketing and others on various initiatives (social media, blogs, case studies, newsletters, etc.) to support building a robust community
Respond to simple inquiries, such as locating documentation, as well as answering deep technical questions
Offer advice on implementation details and troubleshoot developer issues
Collaborate with the engineering team to identify gaps and improve resources based on developer feedback
Partner with the GTM team to engage and excite developers about building with SP1
Represent Succinct at developer-focused hackathons and conferences globally, as well as organize our own Succinct-led programs
Have experience in Rust and blockchain application development
Have excellent written and verbal communication skills and are excited about creating helpful technical content and documentation
Are passionate for interacting with people and providing technical assistance
Enjoy attending developer-focused hackathons and conferences worldwide
Are self-directed with excellent time management skills and are excited about the prospect of working in a fast-paced startup environment
Are passionate about ZK/blockchain technology
This role is remote-friendly with a preference for timezones with some overlap with PST (San Francisco). Our team is primarily based in San Francisco and works together in-person in an office. However, this particular role and team is remote-friendly and offers flexibility on location.
BenefitsHighly competitive salary and equity package
Full health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
Daily lunch and dinner at the office
Travel to industry events and conferences (company-paid)
That’s okay -- if you’re passionate about ZK, love to learn fast, and are excited by our mission, we’d love to hear from you.
