Senior Protocol Engineer - Remote

This is a remote position.

• We re looking for an incredible software engineer to help us build the future of block chain scalability.
• This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who is already pionate about tackling problems in block chain scalability or looking to break into the block chain engineering space.

If you re looking to work in a fastpaced highimpact team and help shape the direction of our product and company this position is for you.

We re backed by some of the best investors in the valley and offer competitive pay an equity grant in the company and full benefits.

About

• Our client enables dynamic scalable block chain experiences. Currently dapps that are deployed to generalpurpose block chain compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network this can lead to congestion and high fees or even network outages.
• That s where we come in. We re building software that makes it easy for the most innovative block chain applications to launch their own ultrformant block chains (rollups) enabling applications to own their ecosystem scale to millions of users and provide a superior user experience to their players.
• We re located in San Francisco and work inperson from the Financial District
