Careers at Horizen Labs
From cryptographic engineering to quantum security consulting — we hire across technical, commercial, and operational roles.
who we are
We build systems and deliver assessments that operate under adversarial conditions, with real compliance requirements and real institutional scrutiny.
Our team includes cryptographers and engineers with backgrounds in defense and institutional finance, alongside business development professionals who close enterprise and government deals, and operations and communications teams who keep everything running. The technical depth is real. So is the commercial and operational expertise that surrounds it. We have operated in production since 2019, with offices in New York, Milan, and San Juan.
Our Values
depth over breadth
We hire specialists. The problems we work on require real expertise, and we'd rather have fewer people who are excellent than a larger team spread thin.
privacy as principle
Most of us came to this work because we believe something: that people and institutions should control what they reveal, to whom, and when. That belief isn't in a slide deck. It shows up in the tradeoffs we make when the easier answer would be to expose more than necessary.
accountability at every level
Whether you're running a proof system, closing an enterprise deal, or managing a client relationship, the quality of the output is yours. That's a real weight to carry. We think it's the only way to do work worth doing.
long-term thinking
Our clients run systems that need to hold up for years, not quarters. Some of what we build today will be protecting sensitive data in a threat environment that doesn't exist yet. That changes how we think about every decision, not just the big architectural ones, but the small ones that compound over time.
