You can make informed decisions with limited information, excel at turning ambiguity into clear, actionable plans, and continuously strive to obtain, synthesize, & productively react to new information to evaluate current priorities and re-navigate if necessary
  • You have developed or experimented with software, infrastructure, and/or blockchain applications - with side projects, hobbyist projects, and/or hackathons to demonstrate your technical acumen. Bonus points if it’s blockchain-related
  • Educational Background: A degree in Computer Science or an Engineering field. Alternatively, hands-on experience in building software products, be it through personal projects or professional ventures

View company profile

Offchain Labs is at the forefront of blockchain innovation, dedicated to pioneering and advancing scaling solutions for Ethereum. Founded in 2018 by Ed Felten, Steven Goldfeder, and Harry Kalodner, the company emerged from deep research at Princeton University with a clear mission: to enable developers, businesses, and individuals to fully experience Ethereum's capabilities without compromise. Through groundbreaking technology, Offchain Labs is revolutionizing the Ethereum ecosystem with Arbitrum, its flagship suite of scaling solutions. Arbitrum utilizes an 'Optimistic Rollup' technique, which significantly increases transaction throughput and reduces costs while maintaining the robust security of the Ethereum mainnet. This allows decentralized applications (dApps) to operate with enhanced efficiency and scalability, paving the way for broader adoption and more complex use cases.

The core of Offchain Labs' innovation lies in its commitment to research and development. The team continuously builds upon its foundational technology, introducing enhancements and new products like Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova, Arbitrum Orbit, Stylus, BOLD, and Arbitrum Nitro. Arbitrum One is designed for general-purpose dApp scaling, while Arbitrum Nova caters to applications demanding even higher throughput, such as gaming and social platforms. Arbitrum Orbit empowers developers to launch their own customizable Layer 3 chains. A significant milestone in Offchain Labs' journey was the acquisition of Prysmatic Labs in October 2022, the team behind Prysm, Ethereum's leading consensus client. This strategic move further solidified Offchain Labs' dedication to contributing to the core Ethereum infrastructure and its long-term success. By focusing on making blockchain technology more accessible, efficient, and powerful, Offchain Labs is actively shaping the future of decentralized systems and fostering a more scalable and user-friendly Web3 environment.
