đ About Moonsong LabsđŽ
Moonsong Labs is a cutting-edge Web3 incubator focused on driving projects and ideas in the next wave of developer and end user adoption.. We're assembling a dream team of brilliant minds who are as excited as we are about building the future of the internet. Together, we'll disrupt traditional industries, empower individuals, and create a more equitable and transparent digital landscape. Examples of Moonsong Labs projects include Moonbeam (EVM compatible L1 optimized for cross chain use cases), Tanssi (AppChain Infrastructure), and Glacis (Cross Chain Router / Firewall).Â
đĽ The Glacis Team (A Router & Firewall for Cross Chain Messages)
The new initiative, named Glacis, is a complementary decentralized protocol which offers routing and firewalling services for cross chain messages sent via Axelar, Wormhole, LayerZero, XCM, and other general message passing systems. The idea is for devs to be able to use a single sdk to implement cross chain messaging scenarios, including the ability to specify granular routing and security logic in a messaging transport agnostic way.  The protocol will start as a smart contract implementation targeting EVM compatible chains.
đĄ Your Role: The Product and Strategy Lead will be a core member of the founding team of Glacis and will be the main outward face for the project from a product perspective. They will be responsible for driving product strategy, as well as understanding the market and competitive landscape including Axelar, Wormhole, LayerZero, and other cross chain messaging protocols.  They will also be responsible for thought leadership, including presenting at conferences, writing content and blogs, raising awareness for the project through interviews and PR, and supporting ecosystem growth efforts as a subject matter expert.
The ideal candidate has at least 5 years experience in a product, strategy, or technical role.  Web3 experience including knowledge of Ethereum, Axelar, Wormhole, Layerzero, and infrastructure products for a developer audience is highly desirable, but not required. An engineering or technical background, but a current preference to be outward facing is ideal. All of this should support having credible conversations about Glacis with protocol founders who are considering different cross chain approaches for their project. Â
Moonsong Labs specializes in web3 protocol engineering and incubation services. As part of the Glacis project initiative, we expect you to bring your ideas, experience, and knowledge to help the Glacis protocol develop and grow. Reach out to us if you are interested in helping to drive a multichain future, where applications span multiple chains increasing addressable markets while at the same time unifying and simplifying user experiences.
