About The Role

In this role, you'll collaborate closely with the CEO to develop, maintain, and expand the rollup stack offerings and customizations enabled by our leading Rollup-as-a-Service platform. You'll create custom precompiles and whitelisted contract deployers that introduce entirely new or more efficient functionalities, and you'll assist in broadening our support for emerging L2s. We value individuals who can rapidly gain a deep technical understanding, quickly create proof-of-concepts to validate novel approaches, and enjoy being self-directed in identifying and solving critical problems.
