Remote, Oregon, United States Offchain Labs Full time

Offchain Labs has developed a suite of scaling solutions for Ethereum. This includes Arbitrum, an Optimistic Rollup that instantly scales apps, reducing costs and increasing capacity without sacrificing Ethereum's security. Porting contracts to Arbitrum requires no code changes or downloads since it's compatible with existing Ethereum developer languages and tooling. Arbitrum today is the leading Ethereum scaling solution with a dominant market share, including hundreds of apps on the platform and over 50% of all rollup liquidity.

We strive to maintain an atmosphere that fosters innovation and new ideas through collaboration, research, and deep discussions. After raising an initial round of $3.8M in seed funding in January 2019, a $20M series A, and a $100M series B in 2021, we are ready to hire additional team members with an interest in working in the blockchain space and a knack for approaching problems in unconventional ways.
