About the company

EigenLayer

Blockchain, Crypto & Web3

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

Eigen Labs is building the infrastructure for a more trustworthy internet.

Today's digital world runs on trust-me promises: "Trust that this AI model is giving you unbiased results." "Trust that this platform isn't manipulating your feed." "Trust that this service will honor its commitments." These trust assumptions create massive friction and limit what's possible online.

EigenCloud changes this by making any digital service verifiable. Built on our EigenLayer protocol, which has attracted billions in economic security, EigenCloud lets developers build applications with mathematical trust guarantees instead of pinky promises.

For developers, this means the best of both worlds: Use familiar cloud tools and programming environments while gaining blockchain-level verifiability. No need to rewrite your application in specialized blockchain languages or accept the limitations of smart contract environments.

For the world, this unlocks transformative applications:

  • AI systems with economic accountability for their outputs

  • Social platforms with verifiable, manipulation-resistant algorithms

  • Prediction markets that can resolve on any real-world event

  • Financial services with cryptographic transparency

  • Any application where trust and correctness matter

We're moving beyond crypto's current focus on digital money to make all digital interactions more trustworthy. With the fastest-growing developer ecosystem in crypto and backing from top-tier investors, we're at the inflection point where verifiable computing goes mainstream.

Ready to build the trust layer for the internet? We're looking for builders who want to solve hard problems and create technology that makes the digital world fundamentally more reliable.

The Role

This is not a solicitation intended to recruit job applicants for a specific available position. Rather, this is a general application for future and opportunistic roles across Eigen Labs. Tell us who you are, what you’re great at, and what you want to build. We’ll review on a rolling basis and reach out when there’s a strong fit.

Equal Opportunity Employment

We take care of each other to create an inclusive work environment where we love to come to work every day. We hope you can join us.

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.
