About EigenLayer
We propose EigenLayer, a restaking collective for Ethereum. EigenLayer is a set of smart contracts on Ethereum that allows consensus layer Ether (ETH) stakers to opt in to validating new software modules built on top of the Ethereum ecosystem. Stakers opt in by granting the EigenLayer smart contracts the ability to impose additional slashing conditions on their staked ETH, allowing an extension of cryptoeconomic security. By opting in to EigenLayer, stakers can validate for many types of modules including consensus protocols, data availability layers, virtual machines, keeper networks, oracle networks, bridges, threshold cryptography schemes, and trusted execution environments. Instead of fragmenting security between modules, EigenLayer aggregates ETH security across all of them. This increases the security of the decentralized applications (dApps) that rely on the modules. In addition, the value of Ether increases due to new fee-sharing opportunities from these manifold modules. EigenLayer also acts as a staging system for Ethereum, where new innovations such as Danksharding and proposer/builder separation can be battle-tested in manifold variations before the best ideas can be integrated back into Ethereum. Finally, EigenLayer ushers in a new era of permissionless innovation, in which innovators do not need to build their own trust networks in order to implement new distributed validation modules, but can instead rely on the security and decentralization provided by ETH restakers via EigenLayer.

Job description

ABOUT EIGEN LABS

Eigen Labs is more than just a leading name in the blockchain space. We’re the driving force behind EigenLayer, a game-changing solution that revolutionizes crypto-economic security. Imagine a world where blockchain projects break free from the shackles of the scaling trilemma and capital limitations.  In today's blockchain ecosystem, each service is typically secured by its own tokenized trust-network. With EigenLayer, services can build upon the established security of the Ethereum trust network, unlocking untold scalability while maintaining security and decentralization.

Enter EigenDA: Provisioning data availability is one of the key components for scaling blockchains, and specifically Layer2 rollups. EigenDA is a secure, high throughput, and decentralized data availability (DA) service built on top of Ethereum using the EigenLayer restaking primitive. Developed by Eigen Labs, EigenDA is the first actively validated service (AVS) to launch on EigenLayer. Restakers will be able to delegate stake to node operators performing validation tasks for EigenDA in exchange for service payments, and rollups will be able to post data to EigenDA in order to access lower transaction costs, higher transaction throughput, and secure composability across the EigenLayer ecosystem.

With EigenLayer, building blockchain infrastructure modules (AVSs) in a permissionless manner is no longer a hypothetical—it's our reality. Now, we invite you to be part of this exciting journey.

ABOUT THE ROLE 

This role represents an opportunity to develop deep expertise in rollup architecture and implementation while making upstream contributions to various rollup frameworks, where generic DA has yet to be developed. You will have a significant impact on DA's ability to provide value to Rollups, the EigenLayer product, the defi industry, and the world. All while working alongside with the biggest projects and brightest minds in DeFi and Ethereum. If you’re looking to collaborate with a talented team of engineers, driving innovation and inventing groundbreaking technologies, we look forward to hearing from you! 

WHAT YOU WILL DO 

  • Own and deliver large features end-to-end, thinking through everything from customer experience, system reliability, scalability, operability, and ongoing metrics
  • Collaborate with Researchers/Engineers to design and develop systems, components and tools for EigenDA which include; zk framework integrations, rollup integrations, fraud proof integrations, off-chain signature verification
  • Make original contributions to the broader DA community such as; DA interfaces for various Rollup Stacks, miscellaneous open-source projects, research-oriented writing pertaining to the design space of DA solutions
  • Technical Documentation: propose, write, optimize and outline technical specs (designs, approaches, and solutions) for a diverse range of rollup integrations
  • Constantly research/learn new concepts, ideas, and frameworks while contributing thought leadership in technical community spaces (blogs, conferences, etc.)
  • Proactively contribute to discussions about technical issues, sprint and roadmap planning, and improving team processes
  • Engage in the team design/code reviews, standups, and advocate engineering best practices

WHAT YOU BRING 

  • BS in Computer Science or related technical field (e.g., physics or mathematics)
  • 5+ years of backend distributed systems experience 
  • 2+ years of full life cycle development with Go, Rust or C++
  • Proficiency in reading/writing Solidity smart contracts
  • Experience using Docker to build, deploy and manage containers
  • Hands on experience designing and building distributed systems
  • In depth working knowledge of rollup architectures and blockchain design 
  • Strong prototyping skills
  • Ability to write tight/accurate design documents and other technical collateral that reflect a clear plan for implementation, while addressing specific end user obstacles/concerns 
  • Ability to thrive as a self guided learner 

BONUS POINTS

  • Ability to write well for public consumption, e.g. blog posts, documentation, research pieces
  • You're an educator at heart and enjoy helping teammates learn
  • Experience presenting technical topics as a public speaker
