Job Details

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 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 Go and 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.

This role is ideal for someone with a curious and innovative mindset, driven by a passion for learning, experimenting, and building transformative solutions. Your work will push the boundaries of blockchain interoperability, reimagining what is possible in this rapidly evolving space.

Your  Responsibilities 

As a Senior Software Engineer on the CDK team, you’ll lead the charge in building modular, efficient, and scalable solutions while collaborating across teams to push the boundaries of interoperability. Key responsibilities will include:

  • Study and Analyze Blockchains: Deep dive into the architecture, consensus mechanisms, and state management of various blockchains to understand their integration requirements.

  • Enhance the CDK Client: Develop and improve the CDK client to ensure it is modular, scalable, and adaptable for integrating diverse blockchain protocols.

  • Collaborate on Proving Logic Design: Work with the team to design and implement efficient mechanisms for verifying blockchain state and consensus, enabling reliable proofs for the AggLayer.

  • Support Third-Party Teams: Provide guidance and technical support to external teams integrating their blockchains with the AggLayer.

  • Code Maintenance and Optimization: Ensure the codebase is clean, robust, and optimized for long-term scalability and performance.

  • Innovate in Cross-Chain Communication: Identify opportunities for innovation and drive solutions that enhance cross-chain functionality.

What You’ll Need 

  • 5+ years of experience developing backend software

  • At least 3 years of hands-on experience in Golang

  • Understanding of how rollup and bridge protocols work 

  • Experience on other blockchain and rollup stacks, such as the OP Stack, Orbit, Elastic Chain, etc

  • Strong proactive attitude that push you to take ownership of what you build

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in Rust is a plus

  • Ability to read and understand smart contracts, especially solidity

  • Understanding of how ZK works, and how it can be used (no need to understand the maths behind it and so on)
