  • Ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots in daily workflows, with human-in-the-loop practices and continuous learning as tools evolve.
  • Knowledge of security architecture for non-EVM-based blockchains (preferred).
  • Deep understanding of cryptography such as zk-SNARKs, FHE, and MPC (preferred).
