Ethereum scaling infrastructure and consensus client developer
Offchain Labs develops Arbitrum, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, alongside Prysm, a consensus client for the base layer. The tech stack is polyglot (TypeScript, Go, Rust, C++) and infrastructure-heavy (Kubernetes, ArgoCD, AWS/GCP/Azure), reflecting the complexity of distributed systems at scale. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering and finance, with a seniority skew toward senior and manager roles—typical of a scaling infrastructure company moving from research into production operations.
Offchain Labs is a Princeton-founded blockchain infrastructure company building scaling and consensus solutions for Ethereum. The core product is Arbitrum, a Layer 2 network that processes transactions off-chain to reduce gas costs and latency on Ethereum mainnet. In 2022, the company acquired Prysmatic Labs to deepen its footprint in Ethereum's consensus layer. The team is actively shipping Arbitrum Orbit (customizable L2s), Stylus (smart contract language interop), and Arbitrum Nitro (the underlying sequencer). Current work spans core chain infrastructure, developer tooling, wallet UX, and internal scaling challenges tied to rapid growth.
Primary languages: TypeScript, Go, Rust, C++. Infrastructure: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, AWS, GCP, Azure. Web layer: React, Next.js, Tailwind. Testing: Playwright, Cypress. Identity: Okta. Analytics: PostHex, Google Analytics.
Core focus areas: Arbitrum stack and infrastructure, developer experience improvements, Stylus and Orbit products, hardware deployment, and consensus layer work via Prysm. Internal priorities include automated testing, IAM, performance optimization, and scaling finance processes.
