LayerZero
The Future is Omnichain.
Founded in 2021, LayerZero's vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities. With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains.
We are funded by the best investors in the world including
a16z, Sequoia, PayPal, Binance Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Circle Ventures, Delphi Digital, and many more.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're seeking a Systems Engineer to join LayerZero. In this role, you'll build the foundational systems that power our execution and infrastructure layers, including Zero.
This is a low-level, performance-critical role focused on runtime architecture, concurrency, and scalable execution. You will make architectural decisions that directly impact how our systems execute, scale, and remain stable under load.
Key Responsibilities
We're looking for an engineer experienced in building robust, high-performance systems who is excited about solving hard infrastructure problems. You'll work on distributed execution systems with strict correctness and performance requirements.
About LayerZero
LayerZero, founded in 2021 by Bryan Pellegrino, Ryan Zarick and Caleb Banister in Vancouver and New York, builds omnichain interoperability infrastructure for blockchains. Its core protocol, LayerZero, provides lightweight messaging via ultra-light nodes and decentralized verifiers that let dApps send data between Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Aptos and dozens of networks without intermediary chains. Stargate and numerous DeFi apps use LayerZero for native bridging, governance and cross-chain execution. Headquartered across Vancouver and New York with a distributed research team, LayerZero combines cryptography, cross-chain security and developer SDKs for omnichain contracts. Backed by leading investors, the project emphasizes verifiable delivery and chain agnosticism. Expect a research and infrastructure culture focused on messaging reliability, security reviews and empowering builders to ship seamlessly cross-chain experiences.
