Description

ABOUT EIGEN LABS Eigen Labs is a prominent player in the blockchain industry, known for spearheading the development of EigenLayer—a groundbreaking solution that transforms crypto-economic security. Our vision is to empower blockchain projects to overcome scalability challenges and financial constraints.

We are dedicated to creating a platform that enhances security for innovative distributed applications. In contrast to the current trend where services rely on individual tokenized trust-networks for security, EigenLayer enables services to leverage the robust security of the Ethereum trust network, unlocking unprecedented scalability while upholding decentralization and security.

THE ROLE

As a Principal Software Engineer at Eigen Labs, you will take the lead in overseeing the offchain components of EigenPOD, which are smart contracts that enable users to monitor and manage balance and withdrawal statuses on EigenLayer. Your responsibilities will involve driving the success of EigenLayer's native restaking solutions, as well as collaborating with the protocol team to seamlessly integrate offchain systems with EigenLayer.

Native Restaking constitutes a significant portion of our Total Value Locked (TVL) on the mainnet, offering stimulating opportunities to manage complex and mission-critical projects. If you are eager to collaborate with a highly skilled team, drive innovation, and contribute to cutting-edge technologies, we are excited to explore how you can add value to our team.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Act as a technical expert for demanding projects, enhancing productivity and effectiveness through the sharing of your extensive knowledge and expertise.
  • Collaborate with company leaders to influence strategies, define product roadmaps, and shape platform experiences.
  • Develop code to validate beacon chain events and design APIs for efficient web application consumption.
  • Implement innovative tools like zero knowledge proofs and batch processing to optimize cost efficiency and enhance customer experiences.
  • Keep updated on Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) relevant to native restaking.
  • Evaluate and work with vendors to implement and utilize their solutions effectively, ensuring data quality and uptime, and providing feedback.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field coupled with over 7 years of experience in backend distributed systems.
  • At least 2 years of full lifecycle development utilizing Go language.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS cloud technologies and a thorough understanding of the Ethereum protocol, Ethereum staking, and beacon chain.
  • Demonstrated leadership in backend development projects with a focus on web2 components and API design that have been successfully deployed.
  • Proficiency in working on highly scalable and dynamic software systems.

NICE TO HAVES

  • Previous exposure to Ethereum consensus clients or other blockchain protocols.
  • Strong knowledge of smart contracts alongside expertise in native restaking and liquid staking.

The annual base salary for this role in locations where legally required is in the range of $250,000 to $300,000. In addition to monetary compensation, Eigen Labs offers various benefits such as medical, dental, and vision plans, 401k, unlimited paid time off, and 12 weeks of fully paid maternity and paternity leave.

Senior Blockchain Engineer - Low-Latency Execution Infrastructure (HyperEVM / Hyperliquid)

Full time
Remote
 
 
we’re looking for a senior blockchain engineer to build low-latency execution infrastructure around hyperevm and hyperliquid-related trading systems.
 
this is not a frontend or dapp role. the focus is on real-time execution systems, chain-native infrastructure, and market-aware backend engineering where latency, ordering, and state correctness directly impact execution outcomes.
 
you will work on systems that operate under noisy, adversarial, and highly dynamic conditions, including delayed or missing websocket events, rpc inconsistencies, transaction lifecycle complexity, state desynchronization, retries, and recovery logic.
 
core responsibilities include building and maintaining realtime blockchain data pipelines, websocket and rpc streaming systems, execution orchestration layers, liquidity-aware routing logic, transaction lifecycle management, and integration with orderbook and market data systems.
 
we are specifically looking for engineers who think in systems rather than features. meaning understanding how data flows through pipelines, how state evolves over time, how failures propagate, and how to design systems that recover automatically without manual intervention.
 
areas of work include:
 
- realtime blockchain data ingestion
- mempool-aware execution flows
- transaction lifecycle handling
- execution sequencing and routing
- websocket and rpc infrastructure
- state synchronization systems
- liquidity and orderbook integration
- performance and latency optimization
 
you should be comfortable working with distributed systems, asynchronous event processing, and latency-sensitive backend architectures.
 
strong experience in one or more of the following areas is highly relevant:
 
- exchange infrastructure
- trading systems
- execution engines
- blockchain indexers
- realtime event systems
- arbitrage systems
- rpc/node infrastructure
- defi backend systems
- low-latency backend engineering
 
preferred technical stack:
 
- typescript / node.js
- go
- rust
- python
- postgres
- clickhouse
- redis
- kafka or similar messaging systems
- docker
- linux environments
- evm rpc internals
- websocket infrastructure
 
ecosystem familiarity:
 
- ethereum, arbitrum, base, optimism, bsc
- hyperliquid / hyperevm
- foundry
- ethers.js / viem
- geth / erigon / nethermind
- dex and amm mechanics
- liquidity math, slippage, gas strategy, routing logic
 
this role is not suitable for:
 
- frontend-only developers
- nft or basic dapp experience only
- tutorial-level web3 developers
- candidates without production systems experience
 
we value engineers who have built real systems where correctness, latency, and reliability matter under load. we care less about buzzwords and more about concrete systems you have personally built and operated.
 
ideal candidates can clearly explain:
 
- system architecture decisions
- bottlenecks and tradeoffs
- failure modes and recovery strategies
- latency considerations in real systems
- production debugging experience
 
working style:
 
- remote
- async-first
- low bureaucracy
- high ownership
- engineering-driven team
- direct technical communication
 
we strongly prefer practical engineering depth over polished presentation. if you have built or worked on systems involving realtime data, trading infrastructure, blockchain execution, or latency-sensitive backend systems, please include details of those systems when applying.
