Eigen Labs is more than just a leading name in the blockchain space. We’re the driving force behind EigenLayer, a game-changing solution that revolutionizes crypto-economic security. Imagine a world where blockchain projects break free from the shackles of the scaling trilemma and capital limitations.

We’re building a platform to deliver security to novel distributed applications. In today's blockchain ecosystem, each service is typically secured by its own tokenized trust-network. With EigenLayer, services can build upon the established security of the Ethereum trust network, unlocking untold scalability while maintaining security and decentralization.

The Role

This role represents an opportunity to be at the forefront of growth in the Eigen Ecosystem by partnering with leading protocols teams to design, build, launch, and upgrade Active Validated Services (AVS) on Eigenlayer. The goal is to enhance and enable builder use cases with the restaking primitives Eigenlayer provides while becoming a go-to expert on Eigenlayer, influencing best practices and future protocol features. We are seeking game changers to build valuable relationships in the industry, educate the dev community through workshops/documentation, and directly impact the adoption and evolution of restaking technology.

What You Will Do
  • Deliver end-to-end technical solutions and integrations with Eigenlayer partners and developers, ensuring seamless implementation and compatibility across systems.

  • Provide guidance to AVS developers on navigating Eigenlayer’s design space, including technical and economic trade-offs.

  • Develop and maintain internal playbooks for technical solutions, optimizing for efficiency and clarity.

  • Represent Eigenlayer at hackathons and industry events, sharing knowledge and fostering connections within the community.

  • Serve as a point of contact for developer support, fielding questions and ensuring partners feel confident in Eigenlayer’s technical competency.

What You Will Bring
  • Strong understanding of foundational blockchain and crypto concepts. Such as Oracles, bridges, RPCs and/or Layer 2 solutions

  • Experience in blockchain systems design, enhancement and integrations

  • Proficiency in backend application enhancements and integrations, Golang or Rust preferred.

  • Solutions architecture and API design.

  • Excellent developer communication skills, with a focus on answering technical questions, building trust, and showcasing the technical expertise of the team.

Nice To Have
  • Experience working with major crypto platforms such as Flashbots, Chainlink, Alchemy, Infura, Optimism, Arbitrum, Cosmos. Etc. 

The target salary range for this role is $180,000 to $220,000. This is determined by a few factors including your skillset, prior relevant experience, quality of interviews and market factors at the point in time of offer. Other rewards may include short- and long-term incentives, and program-specific awards. In addition, Eigen Labs provides various employee benefits, including:
