Experience working on blockchain infrastructure, e.g. a layer-1 blockchain
Enthusiasm for the rapidly developing blockchain ecosystem

What the job involves

As a Systems Software Engineer, you will closely collaborate with fellow engineers and product managers to make Espresso a reality
Your focus will be on the transaction processing, communication, consensus, and storage components of the ledger and roll-up systems, while using the cryptography library developed by our cryptography team

Take engineering projects from concept and design to production, while working with engineering leaders and the product team to create sound and realistic roadmaps

Our take

As the popularity of Web 3.0 surges, companies are keen to provide the infrastructure that will support the acceleration of its adoption. Espresso Systems provides both scalability and privacy to decentralized applications, facilitating their transition into the mainstream.

The Espresso Sequencer supports the decentralization of layer-2 rollups in the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond. Its Configurable Asset Privacy (CAP) protocol allows developers to determine what transactional data remains private and for whom, bringing deeper privacy that should appeal to more cautious blockchain-interested parties.

Having secured impressive funding in 2024, Espresso Systems will be able to grow its team towards accelerating the research and building of its products, continuing to lay the foundation for broader Web 3.0 adoption. The company partnered with Ethereum-based scaling zkSync in 2023, to facilitate the execution of private transactions on the ZkSync network.
