Espresso Systems is the lead developer of Espresso, a global confirmation layer designed to enhance cross-chain composability by providing fast and reliable transaction confirmations. Espresso confirmations help reduce finality risk and prevent issues like sequencer equivocation, making it easier for applications to operate across multiple chains. The network is currently in its Mainnet 0 release and supports various functionalities, including fast confirmations, decentralized sequencing, and low-cost data availability.

At Espresso Systems, we work with leading teams developing chains, rollups, and applications including Offchain Labs, Polygon, Cartesi, RARI Chain, and beyond—all united in our mission to build an open Web3 experience without silos for all users.

The Espresso team comprises a diverse and passionate group of contributors from around the world. We are developers, designers, and researchers who have contributed in academia, in open source communities, in policymaking, and beyond. We are backed by over $50m in funding from leading investors in technology and crypto including a16z, Greylock Partners, Electric Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Polychain Capital.

As Ecosystem Lead, you will be the one owning, overseeing, and driving forward all of our external partnerships for the Espresso Sequencer. From integrations with layer-2 protocols and rollup-as-a-service companies to collaborations with private mempools and work with restaking systems, there are boundless possibilities for partnerships across the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond. If you are excited by the opportunity to get creative as you build relationships, create strategic partnerships, build aligned incentives with partners, and more, then apply here!
