Software Engineer, Crypto Integrations

Conduit – The Onchain Compute Company

At Conduit, we're building the rollup-native cloud platform that will scale Ethereum.

Crypto builders have been held back by a lack of onchain compute — without the ability to process a high volume of transactions quickly and cheaply, onchain apps and ecosystems can’t build high quality user experiences.

Rollups have emerged as the answer to this problem. Just as servers work together to scale compute in web2, so too can rollups scale onchain compute in web3. But building and operating your own rollup is difficult and time-consuming. That's where Conduit comes in.

As the rollup-native cloud platform, Conduit combines web2 engineering best-practices with web3 rollup technology to make it easy for anyone to launch and maintain their own chain. By making infrastructure simple and onchain compute abundant, similar to how AWS and GCP did for web2, we can unlock the next wave of innovation in the crypto ecosystem.

The Conduit platform has seen massive growth since going live in 2023. We run the largest chains in production, including Proof of Play, Zora, Aevo, and more . This translates to 200+ chains across mainnet and testnet and over $1B in total-value-locked (TVL). We're operating on the bleeding edge of crypto, co-evolving with our customers and integration partners, and pushing the limits of blockchain scalability and modularity.

This success has been recognized and accelerated through a $37M Series A , co-led by Paradigm and Haun Ventures — two of the best investors in the industry.

We’re an elite team that’s previously worked at Meta, Brex, Wish, Compound, Chainalysis, Immunefi, Amazon, Avara/Aave, Paradigm, and more. We’re headquartered in San Francisco, with team members all over the world.

We’re looking for ambitious, talented builders that want to help scale Ethereum and bring crypto compute to the masses. Join us!

About the Role

In this role you'll be working closely with the CEO to develop, maintain, and the rollup stack offerings and customizations made possible by our leading Rollup-as-a-Service platform. You’ll develop custom precompiles and whitelisted contract deployers that create entirely new or more efficient functionality, as well as help us expand our support for emerging L2s. We value people who can quickly obtain a deep technical understanding, are able to quickly create proof-of-concepts to validate entirely new approaches, and enjoy being self-directed and identifying the most important problems to solve.

As a Software Engineer, Rollup Product you should:

• A strong background in distributed systems, cryptography, and network protocols.

• Have some experience hacking on the various rollups, understand the underlying components, and have opinions about the various trade-offs of those components and platforms.

• Have some experience with hacking on EVM node software.

• Have a deep understanding of the EVM and how external tooling integrates with it.

• Familiarity with multiple programming languages, including but not limited to Golang, Rust, and Solidity.

• Contribute to defining Conduit’s product strategy and roadmap with the rest of the team.

We think you’ll find this work really exciting if you:

• Love rollups and their potential to exponentially scale Ethereum, and are excited about building best-in-class tooling and infrastructure for it and around it.

• You’re excited to architect, build, and deploy the systems, services, and integrations that help our rollups connect with other ecosystem partners.

• Have experience tinkering with optimistic and ZK rollups and deploying applications to the various chains.

• Can debug problems across the stack, such as networking issues, performance problems, or memory leaks

• Own problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done

Our tech stack

Our infrastructure is built on Kubernetes, Postgres, and Cloud Tasks on GCP, and the products on top utilize a mix of React, Javascript/Typescript, Go, Rust, and Postgres. While we value experience with these technologies, we are primarily looking for engineers with strong technical skills and the ability to quickly pick up new tools and frameworks.
