Polygon Labs is a software development company building and developing a network of aggregated blockchains via the AggLayer, secured by Ethereum. As public infrastructure, the AggLayer will bring together user bases and liquidity for any connected chain, and leverage Ethereum as a settlement layer. Polygon Labs has also contributed to the core development of several widely-adopted scaling protocols and tools for launching blockchains, including Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, and Polygon Miden, which is in development as well as Polygon CDK.
We are looking for a Governance Project Manager to guide and evolve our governance processes, as well as drive communication, education and community building efforts.

Key Job Responsibilities

  • You will remove roadblocks, resolve ambiguity, and provide frequent, clear communication throughout a proposal’s lifecycle, while working with community stakeholders.
  • Provide initiatives to evolve the governance process with a thoughtful balance of efficiency, accountability, security and decentralization.
  • Work closely with Polygon Labs engineering, business and communications teams to align and educate all affected stakeholders on proposals’ implications and increase community participation in Governance discussion.

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment. Your default is to proactively share information and solutions with the team, rather than wait to be asked.

About Polygon

Learn more about Polygon and their company culture.

View company profile

Polygon is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications.

Using Polygon, one can create Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, stand alone chains or any other kind of infra required by the developer.

Polygon effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains). This multi-chain system is akin to other ones such as Polkadot, Cosmos, Avalanche etc with the advantages of Ethereum’s security, vibrant ecosystem and openness.

With Polygon, new features are being built around the existing proven technology to expand the ability to cater to diverse needs from the developer ecosystem. Polygon will continue to develop the core technology so that it can scale to a larger ecosystem.

The $MATIC token will continue to exist and will play an increasingly important role, securing the system and enabling governance.

That's how we roll

Polygon is a team of diverse, passionate (and super smart) contributors around the globe. We break away from conventional setups to shape the future. We’re not fond of needless hierarchy. We value ideas and execution over anything else. Everyone who wants to build a decentralized future is welcome!

A fair web.

A fair web. While the internet has enabled better connectivity, a centralized web has also raised copyright, trust, privacy, and security issues. Polygon wants you to break free and thrive in a world where you own your data and privacy.
