At Offchain Labs, we are not just building products — we’re leading a movement.
We are committed to creating a decentralized, secure, and transparent future through blockchain technology. Our mission is to push the boundaries of blockchain innovation and foster a creative, collaborative, and inclusive culture where ideas can come to life. We know that the future of blockchain technology is limitless, and the best way to achieve this is by working with the brightest minds.
We’re looking for thinkers and doers who are eager to embrace new challenges and seek solutions that will push existing boundaries. If you believe in the importance of transparency, trust, and the decentralization of control, and if you’re curious, adaptable, and want to disrupt the status quo, then we want to hear from you.
Why Offchain Labs?
Our team is committed to bridging the gap between the current state of blockchain and its potential. Our flagship product, Arbitrum One, is a dominant force in Ethereum scaling and is trusted by enterprises, developers, and users worldwide. But that’s just the beginning. Our passionate team is constantly building on this success, rolling out innovative tools such as Arbitrum AnyTrust, Arbitrum Orbit, Stylus, BoLD, and Arbitrum Nitro. Offchain Labs also contributes to the Ethereum core protocol with the Prysm consensus client.
Following the successful raising of $3.8M in seed funding in January 2019, as well as $20M in Series A and $100M in Series B funding in 2021, we are looking to expand our team. We invite individuals with a strong interest in blockchain and a talent for approaching problems from unique perspectives to join us in shaping the future of this dynamic field.
Who You Are
- Eager to dive into blockchain technology, even if it’s new territory
- Enjoy solving infrastructure problems in unconventional ways and thinking beyond standard patterns
- Use tools like k9s or ArgoCD for speed and abstraction, but comfortable dropping into YAML, logs, or low-level debugging when things go sideways
- Experienced with GitOps-style systems and treating both infrastructure and application delivery as code
- Have scaled deployment automation using patterns like ArgoCD ApplicationSets or similar tooling
- Curious about how things work under the hood and not satisfied with surface-level fixes
- Comfortable in Linux, fluent in shell scripting, and productive in languages like Python or Go
- Comfortable operating within a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), with a strong understanding of the underlying component making it easy to adapt to or migrate across providers
- Participated in an on-call rotation, responding to incidents, troubleshooting under pressure, and driving postmortems to improve system reliability over time
- Design systems with security in mind, applying principles like least privilege and threat modeling
- Bring a strong technical foundation, excellent problem-solving skills, and a genuine commitment to high-quality work
- Take ownership, collaborate openly, and contribute to a culture of clarity, curiosity, and continuous improvement
What You've Done

- Diagnosed tough networking and storage issues across complex, distributed systems
- Implemented secure-by-default infrastructure and contributed to architecture reviews and threat models
- Automated operational workflows using scripting or programming in Python, Go, or Bash
- SREs come from a wide range of backgrounds. If you bring strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a drive to build reliable systems, we’d love to hear from you, even if your experience doesn’t perfectly match every bullet point
