Job description

The Core Tezos X team is developing the next-generation Layer 2 solutions on Tezos - a highly scalable computation platform enabling new blockchain use cases.

This is a technically challenging role that allows you to tackle bleeding-edge problems with other bright minds. You will have a huge impact on shaping the platform and guiding important design decisions.

We unify the domains of deterministic computation and performance to build a proof-generating virtual machine which runs common RISC-V Linux programs. This tool allows us to verify what is being run and ensure that it is being run according to our set of semantics regardless of where it is run.

Our day-to-day activities include performance engineering, thinking about commitment and proof schemes, systems programming, building SDKs for other developers, and many other interesting topics.

Our Team

At Trilitech, we drive innovation in Web3 by empowering developers and creators to build pioneering solutions on the Tezos blockchain. Our expertise spans core blockchain development, decentralised applications, infrastructure tooling, developer experience, and incubation programs, with a strong focus on cultural projects, decentralised finance, and gaming. We're dedicated to redefining possibilities and setting new standards within the rapidly evolving blockchain space.

The Technology

Tezos is an open-source blockchain known for its flexibility, security, and unique self-evolving capabilities. With innovations like Etherlink-an EVM-compatible Layer 2-Tezos is scaling rapidly and attracting a growing developer community. Its ecosystem supports diverse projects, from Uranium.io, a decentralized marketplace for tokenized uranium, to leading digital art platforms like

We encourage you to explore the Tezos website and follow us on Twitter & Discord to learn more about the project.
