This job is closed

Tell me what this is: Ethereum gas fees can be brutal. Enter Arbitrum. We build scaling solutions for Ethereum that radically decrease Ethereum fees and increase transaction speed. All without compromising on Ethereum’s security model. We’re also the only Ethereum scaling solution with working fraud proofs (this is a big deal). 

Convince me that this is cool: If you’re a developer, porting your Layer 1 app to Arbitrum requires no code changes or downloads. We’re compatible with the existing Ethereum developer languages and tooling 🔥. This means that as a member of our team your audience will be pretty much everyone developing on Ethereum, not just Arbitrum. 

Convince me that this is legit: Our team is full of super friendly + ultra nerdy types who want to build the future of the internet while laughing at brilliant memes. Our three founders are all PhDs and one was a professor at Princeton before Arbitrum. This means that we love solving problems that have never been solved before and that we love sharing our knowledge with others. 

On the fundraising front, we’re crushing it. We raised a $3.8M in seed round in Jan 2019, then a $20M series A, and then (a week after! crazy!) a $100M series B in 2021.

Culture and Benefits:

Health, Dental and Vision Insurance 401(k) with company match Pre-tax commuter benefits Environment geared toward brainstorming and learning Generous paid time off - everyone needs to recharge!

We understand it takes a diverse team of highly intelligent, passionate, curious, and creative people to solve the challenges involved in developing and improving Arbitrum. Our dynamic team has incredible perspectives to share, just as we know you do, and we take great pride in being an equal opportunity workplace.

What is the meaning of Layer 2?

Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)

The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum

Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:

  1. Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
  2. Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
  3. State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
  4. Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
  5. Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
  6. Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
  7. Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
  8. Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
  9. Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
