Conduit – The Onchain Compute Company

At Conduit, we’re building the rollup-native cloud platform that will scale Ethereum.

Crypto builders have been held back by a lack of onchain compute — without the ability to process a high volume of transactions quickly and cheaply, onchain apps and ecosystems can’t build high quality user experiences.

Rollups have emerged as the answer to this problem. Just as servers work together to scale compute in web2, so too can rollups scale onchain compute in web3. But building and operating your own rollup is difficult and time-consuming. That’s where Conduit comes in.

As the rollup-native cloud platform, Conduit combines web2 engineering best-practices with web3 rollup technology to make it easy for anyone to launch and maintain their own chain. By making infrastructure simple and onchain compute abundant, similar to how AWS and GCP did for web2, we can unlock the next wave of innovation in the crypto ecosystem.

The Conduit platform has seen massive growth since going live in 2023. We run the largest chains in production, including Proof of Play, Zora, Aevo, and more. This translates to 200+ chains across mainnet and testnet and over $1B in total-value-locked (TVL). We’re operating on the bleeding edge of crypto, co-evolving with our customers and integration partners, and pushing the limits of blockchain scalability and modularity.

This success has been recognized and accelerated through a $37M Series A, co-led by Paradigm and Haun Ventures — two of the best investors in the industry.

We’re an elite team that’s previously worked at Meta, Brex, Wish, Compound, Chainalysis, Immunefi, Amazon, Avara/Aave, Paradigm, and more. We’re headquartered in San Francisco, with team members all over the world.

We’re looking for ambitious, talented builders that want to help scale Ethereum and bring crypto compute to the masses. Join us!

About the Role

Conduit’s backend team builds the systems that power the Conduit Platform. You will be instrumental in designing, building, and scaling out the next-generation of Ethereum services at Conduit. This is a great opportunity to make a massive impact building scalable distributed Ethereum based solutions.

In this role you’ll be working on building out scalable, efficient, and performant EVM based solutions for the Conduit Platform. This includes improving the Node, EVM, and supporting components; as well as exploring alternative solutions such as Reth – and their potential for positive impact in the Conduit Platform.

Responsibilities

Architect, design, and evolve the EVM Node solutions powering the Conduit Platform
Deliver scalable and robust software solutions in a devops environment
Create and improve tooling and process to improve maintainability and reliability
Participate in oncall rotation

Qualifications

Deep understanding of the EVM and surrounding Node
Experience working with ethereum internals (i.e. EVM, debuggers, block explorers, tracers, etc.)
Understanding of tooling patterns and practices for developers on EVM networks
Experience designing, implementing, and running production services
Experience debugging complex issues across the stack, such as networking issues, performance problems, or memory leaks
Collaborate effectively with other engineers to solve complex technical problems (mentoring, peer-reviews, design reviews, etc.).

We think you’ll find this work really exciting if you:

Love the EVM for what it is, and are excited about building best in class tooling and infrastructure for it and around it.
Are excited to push the envelope of EVM performance at scale

Our tech stack

A flavor of technologies in-use:

Languages: Golang, python, rust
Databases: Postgres, redis, GCS

While we value experience with these technologies, we are primarily looking for engineers with strong technical skills and the ability to quickly pick up new tools and frameworks.
