LayerZero The Future is Omnichain.
ABOUT THE ROLE As a Protocol Engineer, you'll work on the core infrastructure that underpins decentralized interoperability. You will design and implement core protocol components that operate across heterogeneous chains with rigorous security and performance constraints. You’ll be part of a deeply technical team working across LayerZero’s protocol and smart contract surface, contributing to novel cross-chain primitives and helping shape the architecture of systems used by some of the most demanding applications in Web3.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Design and implement core protocol contracts and logic on both EVM and non-EVM chains (e.g., message validators, data availability mechanisms, proof verification).
Collaborate with various teams to develop new system primitives, validate security assumptions, and improve protocol robustness.
Own components across their lifecycle: architecture, implementation, testing, deploym...
