LayerZero Labs - Systems Engineer

• We’re looking for an engineer experienced in building robust, high-performance systems who is excited about solving hard infrastructure problems. You’ll work on distributed execution systems with strict correctness and performance requirements. • Architect high-performance systems and leverage AI to implement them in Rust. • Build and optimize core runtime, networking, or state management components. • Profile and improve performance both at low-level (CPU, memory) and cluster-scale (network, scheduling). • Debug race conditions, deadlocks, and production performance issues. • Contribute to architectural decisions around scheduling, synchronization, and system scalability. • Own systems end-to-end from design through production. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • 2+ years of experience building systems-level or performance-critical software. • Strong proficiency in systems programming and leveraging AI to build software. • Deep understanding of concurrency, CPU architecture, cache hierarchy, and operating systems . • Experience designing or contributing to low-level storage, compute, or network infrastructure. • Strong intuition for striking a pragmatic balance between complexity for performance and simplicity for robustness • Experience using low-level profiling and debugging tools in production environments. • Interest in working on distributed and execution-layer systems.
