Day in the Life at Succinct
Succinct exists to solve one of the most important problems of the next decade: how do we prove what’s real?
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are the breakthrough technology that will define trust on the internet for blockchains, enterprises, AI systems, identity, and beyond. But today, ZK is still too complex for most developers to adopt.
We’re changing that.
Succinct is building the foundational infrastructure that makes ZK accessible, reliable, and scalable. Our mission is simple: bring verifiability to every product, everywhere.
And we’re doing it with a team small enough that every person’s contribution directly shapes the industry.
How We Work: A Culture Built for High-Impact Builders
The core of our culture is not output - it’s impact. Top-tier talent thrives here because the work is meaningful, the expectations are clear, and the bar is high. This is how we operate:
Own Work End-to-End
You drive projects from idea to launch. From concept to launch, you drive the entire lifecycle of your work.
Understand the Why
We expect everyone to know the problem deeply and define success clearly.
Prioritize Ruthlessly
We focus on what matters most - the work that moves the company and industry forward.
Communicate Proactively
High-performance teams stay aligned through fast, direct, and intentional communication.
Raise the Bar
Everyone here operates at a high level and we push each other to stay there. This is how we work and move the needle.
