We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a 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. We do this in the open (under an MIT open source license) because we believe in open source innovation and its ability to accelerate growth.
OP Labs is building Optimism mainnet, and by extension, the infrastructure that powers all OP-Stack chains. We are improving Ethereum’s performance by orders of magnitude and donating the profits from doing so to funding Ethereum public goods. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs can align its incentives with the public good and take positive-sum steps toward a sustainable future for the internet.
We’re looking for a practical and deep-thinking Product Strategist to help craft our “emerging technology” product strategy. Today, the Superchain is the leading L2 ecosystem w/ over 10M MAUs. This role will ensure the Superchain stays at the forefront of innovation, consumer UX, and security by defining, and executing, its path to adopt new and emerging technologies.
The Superchain is rapidly evolving: blobs, permissionless fault proofs, and (coming soon!) native interoperability. Many new and exciting technologies hold promise to further differentiate the Superchain and expand the design space of what’s possible with L2s. This role will enumerate, prioritize, evaluate, and, eventually, help integrate these technologies into the Superchain.
We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds to apply. We believe that our work is stronger with a variety of perspectives, and we’re eager to further diversify our company. If you have a background that you feel would make an impact at Optimism, please consider applying. We’re committed to building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best work of your career.
