Job Description

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.

What are the role responsibilities?

  • Define the vision, strategy, and product roadmap to grow the Superchain by incorporating emerging technologies such as ZKPs, shared sequencing, AI, and more
  • Have the technical chops to run and benchmark emerging technologies
  • Dig-in to Githubs, Discords, and community channels to separate signal from noise
  • Build lasting relationships with “frontier tech” teams to stay up-to-date on their latest developments and bring them into the Superchain
  • Educate the Collective on the the current state of relevant technologies and their long-term value to the Superchain

What skills do you bring?

  • 5+ years writing production code in crypto with an emphasis on smart contracts and infra
  • ELI5 emerging technologies and their long-term value to our existing products
  • Experience identifying and interacting with the best teams in crypto
  • Deep strategic thinking coupled with clear, pithy writing

What will you like about us?

  • We take care of our employees. Competitive compensation, fully paid medical, dental, and vision, and a 4% 401K match—learn more about our benefits, culture, and all recruiting FAQ here.
  • We take pride in the accomplishments of our teammates and support each other in doing the best work of our careers.
  • Our team is a diverse group of people from varied backgrounds. We cherish our eclecticism and consider it a great strength.
  • We’re fully remote, deeply engaged, highly skilled, and like to have fun.
  • We think long-term. Our founders have been scaling Ethereum since 2015.

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.
