What you'll be doing:

📍Lead the research and development of new initiatives for improving and scaling Base’s throughput. 📍Hack on both execution and consensus client internals (geth, reth, lighthouse, etc.) to extend capacity and capabilities of these systems well beyond current standards. 📍Improve OP stack through efforts such as reducing the footprint of data that needs to be made L1-available. 📍Helping with important external scaling efforts such as PeerDAS 📍Drive the technical direction, establish roadmaps, communicate and collaborate with cross-functional teams and the wider Ethereum ecosystem to define requirements, and ensure alignment with project goals while taking a proactive approach.

What we look for in you:

📍You have at least 10+ years of experience in software engineering, and a background of research in scaling, parallelization, protocols, or distributed databases 📍A track record of proven leadership around successfully scaling an existing high throughput system. 📍Some understanding of EVM and client software, such as geth or reth internals (deep understanding of either a huge plus). 📍Familiarity with database internals and high performance database systems. 📍Understanding of the Ethereum scaling roadmap, and onchain-forward knowledge more generally. 📍You’re familiar with current trends and best practices in architecture including security, performance, and usability. 📍You have executive communication skills to work crossfunctionally and collaborate closely with designers, engineers, and product managers.

The crypto industry is evolving rapidly, offering new opportunities in blockchain, web3, and remote crypto roles — don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
