Offchain Labs has developed a suite of scaling solutions for Ethereum. This includes Arbitrum, an Optimistic Rollup, that instantly scales apps, reducing costs and increasing capacity, without sacrificing Ethereum's security. Porting contracts to Arbitrum requires no code changes or downloads since it’s compatible with existing Ethereum developer languages and tooling. Arbitrum today is the leading Ethereum scaling solution with dominant market share including hundreds of apps on the platform and over 40% of all rollup liquidity. Offchain labs also contributes to the Ethereum core protocol with the Prysm consensus client.
Our team is extremely passionate and works tirelessly to bridge the gap between what blockchain is and what blockchain can be. We strive to maintain an atmosphere that fosters innovation and new ideas through collaboration, research, and deep discussions. After raising an initial round of $3.8M in seed funding in January 2019 and a $20M series A, as well as a $100M series B in 2021, we are ready to hire additional team members who have an interest in working in the blockchain space and a knack for approaching problems in unconventional ways.
At Offchain Labs, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the blockchain domain. As part of the Product team at Offchain Labs, you will get to work with leaders in the blockchain space solving novel technical, economic, and social challenges. In this role you’ll help drive the roadmap for Arbitrum Nitro, a cutting edge blockchain scaling solution. You’ll collaborate closely with our backend engineering team, research team, and company leaders, including our CTO and Head of Product.
What You’ll Do:
- Own and deliver against a scaling-focused & innovation-focused roadmap — ruthlessly prioritizing the changes we ship from bandwidth improvements to broader adoption of EIPs/RIPs, and bringing to market novel, 0-to-1 technologies.
- Interface directly with our dedicated Research team to turn breakthroughs into finely scoped product changes (or new products), and integrate feedback into our exploratory pipeline.
- Proactively identify requirements at a technical and non-technical level to ensure continuous product success — from docs, to ecosystem infrastructure, to granular front-end details.
- Strategically guide and inform our engineering teams, helping source and synthesize feedback from: existing projects and users, the ever evolving market landscape, and underlying technical considerations to prioritize development work.
- Be a force amplifier for our marketing and partnerships teams to deliver successful but technically sound messaging for new product launches and protocol changes to educate and inform.
- Integrate across the company, ensuring that our engineering, design, marketing, partnerships, and other teams are tightly aligned.

- You have developed or experimented with software, infrastructure, and/or blockchain applications - with side projects, hobbyist projects, and/or hackathons to demonstrate your technical acumen. Bonus points if it’s blockchain-related.
- Educational Background: A degree in Computer Science or an Engineering field. Alternatively, hands-on experience in building software products, be it through personal projects or professional ventures.
- Industry Experience: A proven track record of shipping production-grade software, especially targeted at a developer audience. Familiarity with software development processes is crucial. Prior experience at a fast-growing tech company or a software startup is a big plus.
