About the role

  • As a Solutions Architect, you are the technical owner of the customer journey from first deep‑dive through successful production deployment.
  • You'll work closely with our FDEs and Product teams to ensure what we propose is not only compelling, but actually shippable and supportable.
  • You'll be expected to whiteboard, write code for demos and POCs, and speak fluently about both Web3 primitives and modern software & architecture.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with BD and Sales to qualify opportunities, run technical discovery, and map customer requirements to concrete interoperability designs.
  • Design reference and bespoke architectures that integrate LayerZero with customer systems - including smart contracts, wallets/custody, trading or settlement systems, data platforms, and banking/payments rails.
  • Lead technical presentations, workshops, and demos, tailoring the depth to audiences ranging from protocol engineers to C‑level executives.
  • Build and validate POCs and pilot integrations, often writing or reviewing code (e.g., smart contracts, backend services, or sample apps) to prove out patterns.
  • Document architectures, integration plans, and best practices, including sequence diagrams, threat models, and rollout strategies.
  • Collaborate with Integrations/Forward Deployed Engineering on hand‑offs from POC to production, ensuring continuity and a clean path to scale.
  • Contribute to external‑facing content - sample apps, blog posts, talks, and reference architectures that help the ecosystem build better cross‑chain systems.
  • With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains.

Nice to have

  • have worked with financial services, trading, or other highly regulated industries and understand their risk, compliance, and integration constraints.
  • Equal Opportunity Employer
  • LayerZero Labs is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
  • Are comfortable reading and writing code - ideally in TypeScript, Rust, Go, and/or Solidity - and can quickly understand someone else's stack.
  • Have deep experience with integration architecture patterns and APIs (REST/gRPC/WebSockets, webhooks, event streams, OAuth/identity, etc.).
  • Can explain complex technical concepts simply, adapting your language for engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders.
  • Are comfortable in a fast‑moving, ambiguous environment, juggling multiple high‑stakes accounts at once.

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.
