OP Labs is building Optimism mainnet, and by extension, the infrastructure that powers all OP-Stack chains. We are improving Ethereum’s performance by orders of magnitude and donating the profits from doing so to funding Ethereum public goods. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs can align its incentives with the public good and take positive-sum steps toward a sustainable future for the internet.
We are seeking a hands-on and strategic finance leader to join us during this pivotal phase of our organization’s growth. Reporting directly to the COO, the Head of Finance will play a critical role in shaping and guiding our financial strategy.

Strategic Planning: Oversee the annual budgeting and strategic planning processes; monitor progress and make adjustments to keep leadership informed of financial status.
Decentralized Development: Collaborate with xFN leadership to create a funding model to support external developers contributing to the Optimism ecosystem..
Financial Reporting & Operations: Manage financial reporting, company-wide operational metrics, board reports, cash management, audits, and tax matters.
Team Development: Hire, lead, mentor, and retain top-tier finance and accounting teams.
What skills do you bring?
Proven success as a finance lead in a high-growth, venture-backed technology startup, with a demonstrated ability to scale businesses.
Strong familiarity with, or deep interest in, blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Expertise in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), coupled with an analytical and intellectually curious mindset.
Proven track record in accurate planning, budgeting, modeling, and forecasting; must have a clear understanding of the company’s financial standing relative to internal and external targets.
Ability to drive growth initiatives and adapt to a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.
Strong business acumen and a broad financial perspective, enabling you to serve as a strategic advisor to the management team.

We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values.
At present, the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this in the open (under an MIT open source license) because we believe in open source innovation and its ability to accelerate growth.
OP Labs is building Optimism mainnet, and by extension, the infrastructure that powers all OP-Stack chains. We are improving Ethereum’s performance by orders of magnitude and donating the profits from doing so to funding Ethereum public goods. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs can align its incentives with the public good and take positive-sum steps toward a sustainable future for the internet.
In this role, you will develop the fault proofs underpinning OP Stack chains alongside a strong team of protocol engineers committed to code quality and velocity. We value contributors excited about solving computer science problems and decentralization. You can read more about the work here.
What are the role responsibilities?
Work alongside the OP Labs Interop pod towards the development of the multi-proof OP Stack
Own features from design to implementation
Implement protocol upgrades
Support additional core development teams in contributing to the OP Stack
What skills do you bring?
Extensive experience in a software engineering role shipping production code
Deep knowledge of Ethereum and the EVM
Strong grasp of computer science and distributed systems fundamentals
Experience writing Go and Solidity or a willingness to learn
