Who are we?

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 contributes to the Optimism protocol, an extension to Ethereum that scales both its technology and values. Optimism enables orders of magnitude of improved performance and scalability to Ethereum while doubling down on its commitment to public goods.

The Optimism Collective leads the blockchain protocol landscape, dedicated to fostering a scalable and sustainable ecosystem. Optimism’s ethos, in sync with Ethereum's vision, tackles pivotal coordination challenges of the digital age. Optimism’s goal is to harmonize private incentives with public good, shaping a resilient future for the Internet. Optimism’s scope spans diverse areas like Gaming, DeFi, NFTs, and Enterprise.

Position Overview:

Role Responsibilities:

• Implement tooling to automate deployments of the OP Stack

• Maintain and improve our Kubernetes-based infrastructure with a focus on creating solid foundations and driving operational excellence

• Design and implement tools, SDKs and APIs to increase protocol development velocity and create an industry-leading protocol development experience

• Be highly customer-centric, partnering closely with other engineering teams and stakeholders to understand protocol developer needs and rapidly deliver impactful solutions

What skills do you bring?

• Hands-on experience with containerized infrastructure, Kubernetes and cloud providers (GCP, AWS, Azure or other)

• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and deployment automation tools like Terraform and Ansible

• Experience working collaboratively with developers to create impactful developer tools that meaningfully improve developer velocity

• Exhibit high agency and ownership, you’re someone who likes to get stuff done and drive impactful results

About CoW DAO

CoW DAO is on a mission to protect Ethereum users from the dangers of DeFi. It does this by supporting the development of CoW Protocol, CoW Swap, MEV Blocker, and CoW AMM, and by funding values-aligned projects through the CoW Grants Program.

CoW Protocol is the second-largest DEX aggregator by monthly volume and the first-largest intents-based exchange. MEV Blocker is currently involved in ~4% of all Ethereum transactions, making it the category leader. CoW AMM is the only live AMM that protects LPs from LVR (loss-versus rebalancing).

As a member of CoW DAO’s core team, you will have the opportunity to shape these essential products, and contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem more broadly.
