Head Of Engineering
San Francisco, CA, United States
We're looking for an incredible Head of Engineering to help us build the future of Ethereum.
This is an ideal opportunity for an engineering leader who's passionate about building and managing best-in-class engineering teams from the ground up. If you're looking to work in a fast-paced, high-impact team and help shape the direction of our product and company, this position is for you.

About Company
We enable dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchain 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 blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their users.
Some of the best teams in Web3 use use to power their chains, including Manta, Injective, Rarible, and Kinto .
We have a hybrid team across San Francisco and remote locations. The Head of Engineering position is an in-person role in San Francisco's financial district.
