Backend Engineer

LayerZero Labs is hiring a Backend Engineer to build the scalable backend systems underpinning its cross-chain messaging protocol, which reportedly supports tens of billions of dollars in daily transactional volume. The role is broad backend/distributed-systems work rather than a narrowly blockchain-specific position, though prior crypto exposure is a plus.

• Design and build backend systems supporting LayerZero's cross-chain messaging infrastructure
• Write clean, scalable, well-tested production code
• Work with AWS services to deploy, manage, and scale applications
• Build with workflow engines as part of backend pipelines
• Collaborate across teams on architecture and implementation decisions

• 2+ years backend development experience on production, scalable systems
• TypeScript
• AWS deployment and scaling experience
• Workflow engine experience
• Bachelor's in Computer Science or equivalent
• Blockchain/smart contract/DeFi experience (plus, not required)

LayerZero's cross-chain messaging protocol reportedly processes tens of billions of dollars in daily transactional volume, and this Backend Engineer role works directly on the systems supporting that scale.
