Senior Protocol Engineer
From the code to the values, we are Ethereum-aligned. We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a non-profit research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values.
At present the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem; Optimism's network improves Ethereum's performance by orders of magnitude. We do this out in the open because we believe in open source and its ability to accelerate innovation. We believe the future of the open internet is too important to be left to chance. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs is able to align its private incentives with public good and take positive-sum steps to provide a sustainable future for the internet.
What are the role responsibilities?
- Work alongside the OP Labs Client pod to build and decentralize the Optimism protocol
- Collaborate with the teams leveraging the OP Stack and building the Superchain
- Contribute to the development and review of security protocols and their implementations
What skills do you bring?
- Extensive experience in a software engineering role shipping production code
- Experience writing Golang
- Deep knowledge of Ethereum and the EVM
- Strong grasp of computer science and distributed systems fundamentals
- Experience with containerized infrastructure solutions such as Docker or Kubernetes is a plus, but not required
