Senior Specialty Protocol Engineer

Full-time

Wells Fargo & Company

About This Role: Wells Fargo is seeking several Senior Specialty Software Developers (Protocol Engineers) to contribute to a next-generation Digital Asset Platform designed to solve the most critical challenge in institutional finance: achieving strict regulatory compliance without compromising transaction confidentiality. Wells Fargo is moving beyond standard public blockchains to build a custom, application-specific infrastructure. Our platform utilizes advanced cryptography to enable "auditable privacy"—allowing regulated institutions to settle digital assets securely while preserving strategic confidentiality, without relying on centralized intermediaries. As a Senior Protocol Engineer, you will be responsible for architecting the core settlement engine. You'll work at the intersection of distributed systems and applied cryptography, translating complex mathematical proofs into high-performance, production-grade Go code. Why apply to this job? To work on complex problems: You won't be building another yield farm copycat. You'll be solving fundamental privacy/compliance contradictions in the global financial system High-Impact Engineering: Your code will secure high-value institutional transactions Technical Autonomy: You'll play a key role in architectural decisions, choosing the right curves, libraries, and design patterns Responsibilities: Core Protocol Development: Architect and build a custom blockchain application using Go, Cosmos SDK, and CometBFT (Tendermint) Cryptographic Implementation: Implement and optimize privacy-preserving primitives, specifically Pedersen Commitments and Bulletproofs (Range Proofs), ensuring no trusted setup is required Consensus Customization: Engineer custom ABCI++ extensions (specifically PrepareProposal and Vote Extensions) to implement an on-chain Multi-Party Computation (MPC) mixing network. State Machine Design: Design a custom KVStore state machine that manages homomorphic encrypted balances (Elliptic Curve points) instead of plaintext integers. Performance Engineering: Optimize cryptographic operations (scalar multiplication, point addition) for low latency and high throughput in a distributed environment. Auditing Infrastructure: Build secure off-chain query layers and "view key" mechanisms that allow for granular, permissioned regulatory auditing. Required Qualifications: 4+ years of Specialty Software Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education Systems Engineering: 3+ years of experience in backend or systems programming, with expert-level proficiency in Go (Golang) Applied Cryptography: 6+ months of experience with Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Distributed Systems: 1+ year of experience with BFT consensus algorithms, P2P networking, and state replication Desired Qualifications: Blockchain Core: Deep experience with Cosmos SDK and CometBFT. Comfort building custom modules and modifying consensus logic, not just deploying smart contracts Pedersen Commitments (Homomorphic encryption properties) Zero-Knowledge Proofs (specifically Bulletproofs or Sigma protocols) Math-to-Code: Demonstrated ability to read academic whitepapers/preprints and translate mathematical specifications into functioning code Experience with MPC (Multi-Party Computation) or Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) schemes Familiarity with the Ristretto255 curve or libraries like gnark-crypto Background in FinTech, payment systems, or high-frequency trading platforms Understanding of the Account Model vs. UTXO Model trade-offs in privacy-preserving ledgers Job Expectations: This position offers a hybrid work schedule Relocation assistance is not available for this position Locations: 194 Wood Ave S, Iselin, New Jersey 3075 Loyalty Circle, Columbus, Ohio 1755 Grant Street, Concord, California Pay Range Reflected is the base pay range offered for this position. Pay may vary depending on factors including but not limited to demonstrated examples of prior performance, skills, experience, or work location.
