Since 2022 we’ve diligently served our clients top-quality audit reports, focusing on long-term, high-trust partnerships with top protocols such as The Graph, Story Protocol, ZKsync, OlympusDAO, Agora USD and Curvance. We take pride in identifying security holes others miss. Our bug bounty arm continuously secures the ecosystem, having safely disclosed live issues to various Web3 projects over the past years, including Chainlink, Optimism, Arbitrum, Uniswap and AAVE. In the competitive audit landscape, the Trust team established MVP status by consistently winning contests by a wide margin. The founder (Trust) leads all technical execution and delivery. We are looking for a **Commercial Director** to own and operate the commercial, brand, and relationship surface of the firm. ## Role Overview This is a lead, founder-adjacent independent contractor role, structured as a long-term, full-time-equivalent engagement. You will own TrustSec’s commercial surface area end-to-end: brand positioning, inbound demand, partnerships, and client relationships. You will work closely with the founder, who retains final authority on pricing, contracts, and financial decisions. We believe in a slim, tightly-packed, high-signal formation - no employees would be assigned, and external contractors would be engaged for specific scope support. Your mandate is to turn exceptional technical work into sustained market trust, high-quality inbound demand, and long-term client relationships - without compromising credibility or signal. This is not a traditional sales or marketing role. It is a position of trust and ownership over nearly the entire non-technical surface of the business. ### **Responsibilities** #### **Brand & Positioning** - Own and evolve TrustSec’s market narrative and positioning from a very early stage starting point. - Ensure consistency across all published contents, including posts, announcements, social presence and marketing material. - Translate complex technical work into clear, credible market messaging #### **Demand & Visibility** - Design and execute inbound demand driven by reputation and expertise - Proactively & reactively identify opportunities to drive business demand through high-signal, reputation-aligned marketing avenues - Coordinate content, research releases, and announcements - Build visibility with protocol founders, core dev teams, foundations and ecosystem leaders #### **Conferences & External Presence** - Decide which conferences and ecosystem events matter - Secure speaking opportunities, private meetings, and high-signal engagements - Represent TrustSec externally with professionalism and discretion. - Organize side events or private gatherings when appropriate #### **Partnerships & Client Relationships** - Be the first point of contact for inbound leads, referrals, and partners - Lead early-stage client discussions - Coordinate proposals and commercial discussions - Bring the founder into conversations at the right time for technical depth and deal closure - Build and maintain long-term strategic relationships ## Who This Role Is For This role is designed for someone who has already built and owned a commercial or growth function in a demanding and dynamic environment. It is not a stepping-stone role or a managerial title upgrade - it is a long-term position of trust and leverage. ### **You are likely:** - A highly-experienced, commercial, growth, or partnerships leader in Web3, crypto infrastructure, or in the security space - Or an early employee who built and owned go-to-market at a respected technical company - Comfortable working directly with founders, CTOs, and protocol leadership ### **You have:** - Excellent written and verbal communication - Equally capable of strategic out-of-the-box thinking and hands-on execution - Strong judgment and taste - High credibility with technical audiences - The ability to operate independently and without heavy process or playbooks - Demonstrable experience in all role components, with specialization in brand development and high-signal marketing - A Web3-native mindset, backed by strong networking across Web3 ecosystems ### **Nice to Have:** - Experience leading related scopes for a security firm or other high-credibility business - Prior founder or founder-adjacent experience - Familiarity with dev & security jargon ## Perks - Working with a highly flexible and slim team, calling the shots and translating corporate and brand vision into reality - Travelling to key conferences and representing the company - Top of the range base salary + performance upside - Long-term orientation and financial stability - firm bottom-lined over $5M in the past two years (fully bootstrapped) and looking for long-term growth prospects ## How to apply Send us your CV alongside a couple of paragraphs covering: - Why this role excites you - Your vision for how to translate an exceptional technical firm with hardly any branding & marketing focus into a household name in Web3 circles - Examples of work you are proud of, that have shaped perception, trust, or demand. Explain the context and your involvement with the work - Anything else that shows how you think The candidate may choose to discuss some of these over VC instead. *When applying, mention the word CANDYSHOP to show you read the job post completely.*

## About Aztec At Aztec, our goal is to add privacy to Ethereum. In the current public blockchain paradigm, users and entities unknowingly broadcast data in the public, compromising privacy and security to get trustlessness. Not only are unencrypted blockchains inherently privacy-exposing, they require significant redundancy to compute and verify the legitimacy of transactions. Implementing scalable encryption in a public blockchain paradigm requires cutting-edge math and engineering. Thankfully, our team of scientists and engineers invented **Plonk**, the industry-standard zkSNARK, and **Noir**, the universal language of zero knowledge. Now, we’re building a first of its kind Layer 2 with private smart contracts. This requires new cryptographic primitives, a zero-knowledge DSL for writing contracts, a privacy-friendly execution environment, a carefully designed set of circuits that prove the validity of the chain to L1, a decentralized block-building and proving mechanism, and a top-tier user and developer experience. And it’s now time to bring it to market. We’ve raised $125 million from industry-leading investors including a16z crypto, Paradigm, Variant, Consensys, and a_capital, and we’re growing quickly. ## What You’ll Do We’re looking for entrepreneurial, impact-driven engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments and want to be at the forefront of privacy-first decentralized applications. You’ll be part of a highly collaborative team working on the client-side stack that powers Aztec's zero-knowledge execution environment. ### You Will - Design and build tools & SDKs that enable developers to build powerful, privacy-preserving dApps on Aztec. - Develop a secure client-side execution environment, used by wallets and applications to produce and handle encrypted transactions. - Architect reusable patterns and libraries for writing auditable and verifiable Aztec smart contracts. - Collaborate cross-functionally with protocol, cryptography, and product teams to build end-to-end privacy-preserving applications. - Refactor, document, and test existing code for maintainability, performance, and correctness. - Identify and reduce technical debt, while continuously improving architecture and developer ergonomics. ## What We’re Looking For - 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in blockchain or cryptography-related systems. - Deep proficiency in **TypeScript**, with strong software architecture and API design skills. - Working knowledge of system-level concerns such as performance tuning, memory management, and secure data handling. - Able to provide thoughtful code reviews and mentor other engineers. - Comfortable working autonomously and asynchronously within a distributed team. - Located in or able to work within GMT to EST time zones. ## Bonus Points - Experience with **Rust**, **Solidity**, or other smart contract languages. - Contributions to open source projects, especially in the Web3 or cryptography space. - Familiarity with zk systems like ZCash or other privacy-preserving protocols. - Exposure to modern web development frameworks and tooling. - Passion for zero-knowledge cryptography and its role in reshaping the internet. ## What We Offer - Flexible, remote-first culture with HQ in London. - Competitive salary + equity/token options. - 25 days annual leave + bank holidays. - Health, dental, and retirement benefits (based on location). - Quarterly offsites for team collaboration and bonding. - Conference and learning budget for continual professional development. - A chance to work on truly cutting-edge zero-knowledge infrastructure with some of the best minds in the field. Aztec Labs is an equal opportunity employer and we value creativity, diversity, and intellectual curiosity. If you're passionate about leveraging your creative talents to make a real-world impact, and if you want to be part of a team that's shaping the future of digital privacy, then we would love to hear from you.
