About
We’re building Omni: a platform allowing developers to deploy applications across all rollups without fragmenting liquidity. We’re looking for early team members to help us bring this ambitious vision to life.
We’re a team who already built a platform that processed over $70M leading to our $18M fundraise from top investors including Pantera, Two Sigma Ventures, Coinbase Ventures alongside angel investors including Stani Kulechov (founder of Aave), Sandeep Nailwal (cofounder of Polygon) and more. In addition to this our most recent testnet onboarded over 300,000 users in less than two months. We are growing rapidly and we need ambitious and experienced team members to join us to help scale Ethereum's future.
About the role:
Engineers who join the team in this role will be responsible for designing and implementing foundational components of the Omni stack. This involves working heavily with Golang, Tendermint, Eigenlayer, interoperability components, and off-chain services while also having responsibilities to collaborate with the wider engineering team to improve our overall architecture and code quality.
Responsibilities
- Develop our core software stack – consensus and execution layers, Eigenlayer integration, and messaging protocol – from the design stage all the way to production ready implementations. Primarily in golang.
- Build a modular interoperability standard that is highly secure while also being flexible enough to incorporate future innovations in the interoperability space
- Build a network of validators that leverages restaked $ETH to secure the Omni chain
- Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain our node software and off-chain coordinating agents to power our distributed network
- Improve the design of peer’s architecture through thoughtful, professionally communicated feedback.
- Contribute to open source projects and play a role in building out the crypto ecosystem at large.
Requirements
- 3-7+ years of experience in a backend software engineering role with Go
- 2-4+ years of experience developing a blockchain client / node that launched mainnet in production with > $50m at stake
- Experience architecting, deploying, and maintaining a production system with > $100m and/or 1m users at stake
- Extensive experience managing the software development life cycle for medium to large projects
- Experience with AWS, GCP or similar cloud providers
- Desire to keep up with modern best practices in software development and crypto, and shape our tech stack as we build out new systems and services
- Daily overlap with 9am-12pm EST
Competencies
- Autonomous — specifically seeks to take greater ownership and responsibility and thrives in their personal growth by doing so
- Action oriented — we are looking for people who take action by default, consistently driving forward progress without asking for permission
- An engineer in both thought and implementation — they must be able to design architecture and see it through to implementation
- Adaptable — thrives in ambiguity, able to quickly iterate and push forward as the business dynamically expands
- Highly intelligent — learns quickly and can participate in abstract intellectually engaging conversations
- Effective communicator — clearly articulates ideas and engages in debates in a productive manner that leads us to making better decisions
Nice to Haves
- Experience scaling out infrastructure for distributed services
- Experience building a system with a distributed consensus mechanism
- Deep understanding of the Ethereum Virtual Machine
