Join Our Cutting-Edge Ethereum MEV Engineering Team

Are you a seasoned blockchain engineer with a passion for Ethereum, mempool dynamics, and MEV optimization?

We are looking for a Software Engineering Team Lead to head our high-performing Ethereum MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) team. This role is ideal for someone who combines technical depth in blockchain with strong leadership and a track record in distributed systems.

As a leader in this space, you’ll work with searchers, relayers, and validator partners to build sophisticated MEV solutions across Ethereum and compatible chains.

🧠 Key Responsibilities

👥 Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Ethereum core developers and blockchain engineers focused on MEV applications.
⚙️ Engineering Execution: Oversee design, development, testing, and deployment of scalable MEV-related services and infrastructure.
📊 Project Ownership: Set engineering priorities and manage delivery from research to production.
