Company mission
To accelerate applications towards the interchain singularity.
Role
Who you are
- London or NYC based
- 5+ years of experience working on developer platforms
- 2+ years of experience working with Ethereum or similar smart contract platforms
- 3+ years working with Typescript or Javascript
- A crypto native
- Have used an open source project like viem or rainbowkit
- Strong sense of initiative and ownership
- The drive, intensity, and motivation to perform at a world class level 🥇
What the job involves
- Hyperlane allows protocols like Aave, Osmosis and Eclipse to connect across any blockchain. We are the only permissionless interoperability tool: you can deploy your own contracts, relayer, and validators to achieve interchain messages, tokens, and queries
- With your help, our next big step is radically simplifying the steps to get Hyperlane up and running: going from six complex steps today to one-click interop
- The fun part is due to its permissionless design Hyperlane works across many chains & VMs. Our tooling & docs are currently focused on EVM, but we are rolling out support for more including Solana, Cosmos and Move. So your challenge here is achieving greater simplicity while also having a broad interchain footprint
- We’re a flat, fast-moving team and we want you to have wide latitude in how you achieve this mission. We have a CLI, SDK, deployment tooling, docs & guides, but we’re open to revamping those and introducing new UIs too
- You will own the end-to-end developer experience, with support from another frontend engineer, PM, and our broader dev team
Our take
Cryptocurrencies have proliferated and grown so much over the last decade, providing an alternative to traditional forms of financial asset. But as they’ve grown, the blockchains supporting them have sprung up completely independently, with very little ability for connectivity or transfer between them. This is where Hyperlane comes in, with its platform offering to help developers connect applications across blockchains.
Connection could already be made, through cross-chain bridges which support the movement digital assets from one chain to another, but these are often weak and targeted by hackers, resulting in $2 billion in losses each year. Hyperlane offers new tools with the enhanced security to make these connections safely.
The company is pioneering in its approach, and has attracted attention for creating the possibility of launching cryptocurrency into a new, more universal era. Funding is being focused on expanding the team as well as development of product security.
