Developer Experience Engineer

At Matter Labs, we believe freedom drives progress and prosperity. We don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a team aligned around a single mission: to advance personal freedom for all (see ZK Credo).

To achieve this goal, we’re building zkSync — a credibly neutral, fully open source technology stack and network on top of Ethereum, which is owned and governed by its community. We use advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum infinitely without compromising on security or decentralization. With a world-class team, a community of over 1M supporters across Twitter + Discord, and hundreds of millions $ in funding, we have abundant resources to accomplish the mission.

The Role

As a Developer Experience Engineer, you will play a critical role in building tools for web3 developers to deploy dApps on our network.

We're looking for engineers who love to deliver value through new tools and building cool stuff. You must be deeply technical, deeply curious, and willing to dive straight into code. Not everything will be perfectly explained or documented, but code is the source of truth and that’s where we spend our day-to-day.

What You'll Be Doing

Full end-to-end ownership of plans and processes to improve developers’ experience
Building, supporting, and scaling developer tools
Unblocking developers facing technical questions and issues
Pushing out content targeted towards platform developers, including release notes, platform design, issues, and upgrades
Engaging our developer community on GitHub, Discord, and X
Improving and maintaining documentation so it’s accessible to developers at all levels
Cooperating with marketing and business development leads to improving developer-facing product positioning and communications

What We Look For in You

2+ years of experience as a software developer or engineer
Proven experience in ownership of development projects where you were a key factor in driving measurable positive outcomes
First principles approach to software development
A strong vision for where the industry is going, and staying on top of new technologies and stacks
Passionate and familiar with dApp developers, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology
Experience with popular web3 libraries (ex: Foundry, Viem, Hardhat, etc.) is a plus
Previous experience in web3 or blockchain companies/projects is a plus
Crypto experience, especially knowledge of Ethereum & L2s is a plus
Excellent communication skills as a strong technical writer is a plus

Both our team and community are made up of people from diverse backgrounds. That's why, out of politeness and respect, we refrain from opinions on politics, religion, or sex at the workplace.
