Recruiting Lead
We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values.
At present, the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this in the open (under an MIT open source license) because we believe in open source innovation and its ability to accelerate growth.
OP Labs is building Optimism mainnet, and by extension, the infrastructure that powers all OP-Stack chains. We are improving Ethereum’s performance by orders of magnitude and donating the profits from doing so to funding Ethereum public goods. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs can align its incentives with the public good and take positive-sum steps toward a sustainable future for the internet.
We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Recruiting Lead to join OP Labs. The Recruiting Lead will be responsible for leading and managing a team of four recruiters and one recruiting coordinator focused on attracting and hiring top technical talent in the Ethereum L2 space. This role is critical to our mission of building a world-class team that will drive the next wave of innovation in scaling Ethereum.
