About the role
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Backend engineering teams at LayerZero.
- You'll own the people, process, and technical direction for systems handling some of the highest-stakes infrastructure in Web3, while staying technical enough that your engineers actually want your opinion on their architecture.
Responsibilities
- You came up as an engineer and haven't fully stepped away from it. You'll lead backend teams day-to-day while staying close enough to the work to shape real technical decisions.
- You lead by doing. When a hard distributed systems problem surfaces, you're in it with your team, not just assigning it.
- You run architecture and design reviews and can defend a technical position when it matters.
- You recruit, develop, and retain strong backend engineers and build a team culture around ownership and craft.
- Deep experience building and scaling distributed systems, and can get into the weeds on architecture when needed.
- With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains.
Requirements
- You work with engineering leadership and other stakeholders to turn roadmap into execution.
Nice to have
- 6+ years of backend engineering experience with 2+ years managing engineering teams in a fast-moving or production-critical environment.
- Proficiency in backend languages like TypeScript
- comfortable operating across the stack.
- Hands-on experience with AWS for deploying and scaling production systems.
- You've grown engineers through direct feedback and creating space for real ownership.
- Previous experience with blockchain technologies, smart contracts, and decentralized finance is a strong plus.
Benefits
- Founded in 2021, LayerZero's vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities.
