We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values.

At present, the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this in the open (under an MIT open source license) because we believe in open source innovation and its ability to accelerate growth.

OP Labs is building Optimism mainnet, and by extension, the infrastructure that powers all OP-Stack chains. We are improving Ethereum’s performance by orders of magnitude and donating the profits from doing so to funding Ethereum public goods. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs can align its incentives with the public good and take positive-sum steps toward a sustainable future for the internet.

OP Labs is looking for a Lead Support Engineer to join our Developer Relations team. You will be responsible for managing the technical support function and ensuring that issues from partners, developers, and OP Stack contributors are being addressed in a timely and effective manner.

Rigorously track and report on issues and the support function as a whole, defining key metrics and how they are reported to leadership.
Act as a strong internal advocate for developers using OP products, in particular advocating for long term and proactive solutions to common issues.
Work closely with the product team to provide feedback on customer needs and identify opportunities for product improvements.
Develop and maintain documentation and training materials to support customers and internal teams.
Establish process to leverage open source developers who identify, track, and resolve issues in public with the developer community.
