Summary
Meital Levy is a Co-Founder and CTO with 15 years of engineering leadership and deep academic roots, including a Ph.D. in Computer Science, focused on cryptography, secure multiparty computation (MPC) and blockchain-native privacy solutions. She spent over a decade as an R&D senior engineer at Bar-Ilan’s Applied Cryptography Center, driving the design and high-performance C++ and Java implementations behind the SCAPI open-source MPC library. At SodaLabs she now bridges research-grade cryptographic protocols with product engineering, applying optimization techniques honed in academia to startup-scale systems. Earlier roles span founding a diamond-tech startup and leading C++ application teams, reflecting a rare mix of low-level performance engineering, customer-facing product work and team leadership. Known for making state-of-the-art cryptographic research practical, she combines rigorous academic training with hands-on system-building in Tel Aviv’s security ecosystem.
