Senior Ecosystem Solution (Full-Stack) Engineer

Taiko Labs is at the forefront of blockchain innovation, developing the Taiko ZK-EVM, a Layer 2 solution that scales Ethereum by faithfully emulating its technical and non-technical characteristics. Our solution, an Ethereum-equivalent (Type 1) ZK-EVM, enhances the performance of Ethereum by supporting all EVM opcodes within a decentralized, permission-less, and secure Layer 2/3 framework.

Our team is rooted in a firm belief in the power and potential of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). Comprising seasoned professionals who have been utilizing ZKPs since 2018, our team has the distinction of having built the first ZK-Rollup on Ethereum. As we continue to push boundaries and innovate, we are eager to augment our team with talented, driven individuals who align with our vision and are ready to make a significant contribution to the blockchain landscape.

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our team to help design and develop high-quality front-end applications and backend services that interface with our ZK-EVM. You will also build tools that help others do the same and help drive the usability of the protocol. Frontend applications include web apps that allow users to enter/exit our layer-2 from Ethereum.

About the role

• Design and develop end user-facing applications.
• Design and develop scalable backend services.
• Work cross-functionally with other engineering teams (internal and external) to assist in achieving desired outcomes.

About you

• 5+ years experience in software engineering.
• Strong experience with TypeScript or JavaScript and modern frameworks such as Svelte or React.
• Capable of architecting and maintaining high-quality, high-performance, clean code.
• Understanding of Ethereum is preferred, as is familiarity with ethers/web3 JS libraries, and hardhat/truffle.
• Some experience with UX design, wire-framing, and related tools.
• A deep sense of ownership in your work, capable of seeing a complex project through from start to finish.

Benefits

The role is remote, offers competitive compensation (cash + equity), and an opportunity to help scale Ethereum - a technology and ecosystem that is changing the world.
