Lightning Labs is hiring! We’re looking to expand our team to build technology that'll bring Bitcoin to the next billion people. Our current focus is the development and deployment of the Lightning Network, an open blockchain scalability protocol. We push the edge of innovation with regard to blockchain scalability, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and cryptocurrency UX. If you’re interested in one of the positions below, please apply using our careers page: https://lightning.engineering/join-us. And if you know someone who might be a good fit, we'd very much appreciate any referrals.
{Lightning Infrastructure Engineer}:
We're looking for a systems-oriented engineer who will design and build out key components to support the growth of the Lightning Network. These tools will lower the barrier to entry for operating Lightning nodes and enable existing node operators to more effectively manage their infrastructure. You'll work on products such as Lightning Pool (https://lightning.engineering/pool/), as well as other Bitcoin-based backend systems to make Lightning more useable, and secure.
{Protocol Engineer}:
Experienced systems software engineer versed in applied cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, distributed systems, open source software, and cryptocurrency protocols to design and implement core protocol and algorithmic components of the Lightning Network as well as the Bitcoin Network. Solid programming skills, experience with Go, C, or C++. Prior contributions to crypto protocols and open source software collaboration preferred.
{Platform Engineer}:
Seeking a pragmatic senior software engineer who embraces the DevOps mindset to improve our developer experience. Improve the robustness and security of our internal platform by managing the underlying cloud and cluster technologies, observability tooling, stateful services, and enhancements such as operators and overlay networks.
{Senior Security Engineer}:
Seeking to hire a Security Engineer for the ongoing scaling of our growing engineering organization. This is a hands-on role that consists of devising and implementing policies and procedures around best practices in systems security. The ideal candidate has experience in securing web, Bitcoin, and other public-facing network services, penetration testing, and both automated and manual source code security reviews. Due to the domain in which we work, experience with Bitcoin and the Lightning Network is extremely desirable as is knowledge of the cryptographic aspects involved in this area.
