Company : OP Labs PBC, formerly known as Optimism PBC, is bringing Web2 usability to Web3 apps. Built by Ethereum developers, for Ethereum developers, OP Labs is the only secure decentralized blockchain infrastructure specifically intended to optimize and scale Ethereum. OP Labs develops open-source codebase software and operates optimistic L2 rollups to ensure Ethereum maintains the three central properties of blockchain : decentralization, security, and scalability. OP Labs can be seen as an extension of Ethereum, from its philosophy down to its tech stack. They promote the growth and sustainability of public goods, through Retroactive Public Goods Funding, never to be captured by private commercial interests.

Responsibilities

• Drive the scaling roadmap : Own and deliver the vertical scaling roadmap (6-18 months+), working with OP Labs and Optimism Collective engineering teams and L1 core developers.
