Polygon Labs is a software development company building and developing a network of aggregated blockchains via the AggLayer, secured by Ethereum. As public infrastructure, the AggLayer will bring together user bases and liquidity for any connected chain, and leverage Ethereum as a settlement layer. Polygon Labs has also contributed to the core development of several widely-adopted scaling protocols and tools for launching blockchains, including Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, and Polygon Miden, which is in development as well as Polygon CDK.
Polygon Labs is on a mission to revolutionize blockchain interoperability, and weβre seeking a talented Rust engineer to be a key player on our AggLayer team. AggLayer is a groundbreaking protocol designed to seamlessly connect fragmented blockchain networks, tackling one of the biggest challenges in Web3 today. As part of this team, youβll work with cutting-edge zkVMs (zero-knowledge virtual machines) and design decentralized systems that will shape the future of blockchain infrastructure. This role is perfect for a skilled Rust developer excited to build high-impact, scalable, and secure systems that push the boundaries of what's possible in Web3. If you're passionate about Rust, blockchain, and creating a truly interoperable Web3, weβd love to meet you.
Develop Scalable and Secure Systems in Rust: Leverage your Rust expertise to design and implement scalable, high-performance systems that are the backbone of the AggLayer.
Utilize Advanced zkVMs: Work with zero-knowledge virtual machines such as Succinct SP1 or Risc0 to enable advanced cryptographic proof generation and enhance protocol security.
Contribute to Code Quality and Collaboration: Review open pull requests, provide valuable feedback, and perform code reviews to maintain high standards across the team.
Collaborate in a Fast-Paced, Innovative Environment: Engage with our world-class team to solve complex problems, drive protocol advancements, and create industry-first solutions.
Experience in Rust Development (2+ Years): Proven expertise in Rust is essential; you should be comfortable navigating and building complex systems with Rust as your primary language.
Background in Distributed Systems: Familiarity with distributed computing principles, ensuring robustness and reliability at scale.
Ethereum Knowledge: While not essential, a solid understanding of Ethereum internals or the broader EVM ecosystem is highly beneficial in this role.
Understanding of Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Basic knowledge of zero-knowledge proofs is a plus and will help you dive into zkVM technology more smoothly.
Technical Degree: A degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related technical field is preferred but not mandatory. What matters most is your experience and passion for building transformative tech.
