Job description

Your missions

Espresso Systems is the lead developer of Espresso: the coordination layer for cross-chain transactions and interactions. We are building a network and marketplace that enables chains to interoperate seamlessly, without sacrificing scale or sovereignty. Chains that are fueled by Espresso create better experiences for their users and capture more value for their ecosystems.

At Espresso, we work with leading projects developing chains, rollups, and applications including Offchain Labs, Polygon, Cartesi, RARI Chain, and beyond. We support these teams in offering users an open, interoperable experience through a pragmatic and diligent approach to infrastructure design and by harnessing the power of free and fair markets.

Contributors to Espresso comprise a diverse and passionate team located around the world. We are developers, designers, and researchers who have contributed in academia, in open source communities, in policymaking, and beyond. We are backed by over $50m in funding from leading investors in technology and crypto including a16z, Greylock Partners, Electric Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Polychain Capital.

In the last two years, Espresso has shipped 5 testnets, on-boarded 10 node operators, developed frameworks to support 5 different rollup stacks, and made plans to integrate with 16 rollup ecosystems (and counting). Espresso is building infrastructure that will underpin the future of how blockchains work, scale, interoperate, and serve user needs – and we are looking to bring on an experienced product leader who will help us define what this looks like in terms of metrics, results, and features and who will help steer the product by discovering, prioritizing, and implementing the product features that our partners require. Join us in shepherding the Espresso product as we drive toward our mainnet releases over the coming months.
