Software Engineer — Networks/Blockchain
0x Labs
At 0x Labs, our mission is to create a tokenized world where all value can flow freely. We're a highly technical, globally distributed group of teams working together toward actualizing that mission. In doing so, we're excited and proud to be pushing the envelope across the DeFi and Ethereum stacks.
In joining us, you'll take part in transforming the way that value is exchanged on a global scale. We're passionate about open-source software and decentralized technology's potential to act as an equalizing force in the world, and our technology is deployed by a wide array of projects at the forefront of internet and economic advancement.
Founded in 2017, 0x Labs created and now partakes in the development of 0x protocol: a network comprised of open-source infrastructure, tooling, and cryptocurrency-based incentives that allow for the decentralized exchange of any blockchain-based digital asset. 0x is a secure, publicly owned and governed, and upgradable standard that’s abstracted away from application-layer developers and enables interoperability between blockchain-based applications.
Alongside the core protocol, 0x Labs also builds and maintains a suite of network incentives, business resources, developer/trader tools (e.g., 0x API), and end-user products (e.g., Matcha).
We’ll consider your application regardless of where you call home.
YOUR ROLE AS A BLOCKCHAIN ENGINEER AT 0X
The Networks team prides itself on its intellectual curiosity and is often tasked with exploring new technologies. In joining, you’ll collaborate with cryptographers working on zero-knowledge proofs, developers working with next-generation blockchains, and core-team engineers who are building their own.
As a blockchain engineer, you’ll take significant ownership over 0x Mesh, our decentralized, global peer-to-peer orderbook. Mesh allows traders to post orders and find the current best offers for any asset. It powers 0xAPI, Matcha, Augur, and a long list of other Ethereum projects. Besides being a standalone peer-to-peer application, Mesh is unique in that it also comes in a WebAssembly build that allows browsers to participate in the network.
Along with developing Mesh, you’ll also work with your team on a variety of other upcoming projects. The group’s scope also includes developing a blockchain scaling solution using advanced cryptography; exploring other blockchains and potential cross-chain applications; and Ethereum smart contract development, optimization, and auditing.
