Job description
Who are we?
The Midnight Foundation is the steward of the Midnight protocol, a next-generation blockchain platform designed to protect sensitive personal and commercial data while enabling decentralized innovation. Our mission is to empower developers, enterprises, and users to build secure, compliant, and privacy-preserving applications through advanced cryptographic technologies, including zero-knowledge proofs.
We believe that innovation begins at the edge of the unknown. By cultivating curiosity, creativity, and purposeful collaboration, we aim to shape a world where individuals and businesses can confidently harness the power of blockchain to drive real-world impact.
About Midnight:
The Midnight protocol is a zero-knowledge data protection blockchain platform, enabling developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) that require fine-grained control over what data is disclosed on-chain. As the first blockchain to offer programmable data isolation, Midnight enables selective disclosure and compliance with legal and commercial privacy requirements—without sacrificing decentralization.
The Midnight Foundation is the protocol’s ecosystem enabler, advancing adoption through business development, partnerships, grants, and developer engagement.
