About the role

  • Work directly embedded with a wide array of partners, from web2 enterprises to DeFi protocols, helping them deploy containerized applications on EigenCompute, owning the full lifecycle from architecture design through production deployment and optimization
  • Guide teams through containerizing existing applications (Node.js, Python, Go services) as Docker images and deploying them in EigenCompute's TEE environment—helping them understand which workloads benefit from verifiable offchain compute
  • Architect integrations between smart contracts and EigenCompute containers, ensuring attestation flows are correctly tied to onchain verification, results are properly returned to blockchains, and dispute resolution through EigenVerify is handled appropriately
  • Help web3 teams identify portions of their protocols that can move offchain to EigenCompute (complex game logic, AI-powered governance, verifiable randomness, prediction market resolution) while maintaining the trust guarantees of their system
  • Build reference implementations, starter templates, and integration patterns that demonstrate best practices: containerized workloads with smart contract callbacks, attestation verification patterns, and EigenDA data availability integration
  • Create comprehensive documentation, deployment guides, and tutorials based on real-world partner integrations, translating complex TEE concepts, cryptoeconomic security, and verifiable compute into practical patterns developers can follow
  • Contribute to EigenCompute infrastructure and help shape the product roadmap by identifying bottlenecks, missing features, and opportunities informed by direct work with developers

Requirements

  • 4+ years shipping production web applications or distributed systems
  • Strong engineering fundamentals in TypeScript, Python, Go, or Rust with experience building production APIs, services, and developer tools
  • Experience with smart contract development and blockchain integration of offchain systems
  • Proven ability to work directly with customers/partners as a forward-deployed engineer, understanding their technical challenges, proposing architectures, and shipping solutions that create real value
  • Excellent communication across technical and non-technical audiences: you can explain how verifiable compute works to web2 developers who've never touched blockchain, and help web3 teams understand containerization trade-offs
  • Bias toward action and continuous learning: you leverage AI tools to multiply your productivity, stay current with the rapidly evolving AI infrastructure landscape, and prefer working code over perfect designs.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and non-cash compensation (tokens and equity)
  • World class benefits package (medical/dental/vision)
  • Remote work set up stipend
  • Flexible hours and a supportive remote environment
  • Flexible time off
  • 401(k) retirement plan + company match
  • Monthly wellness benefit
  • Yearly off-sites
  • Paid parental leave
