About Polygon Labs

Polygon Labs is a software development company building and developing a network of aggregated blockchains via the AggLayer, secured by Ethereum. As public infrastructure, the AggLayer will bring together user bases and liquidity for any connected chain, and leverage Ethereum as a settlement layer. Polygon Labs has also contributed to the core development of several widely-adopted scaling protocols and tools for launching blockchains, including Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, and Polygon Miden, which is in development as well as Polygon CDK.

Your Role

You’ll design, develop and maintain robust software at the intersection of Polygon CDK and AggLayer, focusing on creating elegant integrations between multiple blockchains. This will happen in the form of Rust code, which will be used to integrate smart contracts, Zero Knowledge systems, and other blockchains through their RPCs. You'll work with a highly motivated team of innovators who thrive on solving complex challenges and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

• Design the code architecture as we move from Go to Rust

• Mentor other team members in the ways of Rust

• Take ownership of the code base, push for a high quality result by participating in code reviews

• +7 years of experience as a backend developer

• Excellent software engineering skills, with proven experience in designing, implementing and maintaining complex architectures

• Teaching skills to help the team level up their Rust skills
