What are we all about?
We are a team of builders and researchers on a mission to empower enterprises and developers worldwide to access and build on decentralized systems.Our expertise covers several domains: Ethereum and Starknet protocol engineering, layer-2, AI, cryptography research, protocol research, decentralized finance (DeFi), security auditing, formal verification, real-time monitoring, smart contract development, and dapps and enterprise engineering.Working to solve some of the most challenging problems in the blockchain space, we frequently collaborate with renowned companies, such as Ethereum Foundation, Starknet Foundation, Gnosis Chain, Flashbots, Forta Protocol, Lido, EigenLayer, Open Zeppelin, RISCZero, Aleph Zero, and many more.Today, we are a 350+ strong team working remotely across 66+ countries.View all our open positions here: https://www.nethermind.io/open-roles LinksNethermind - Crypto, AI and RoboticsProjectshttps://github.com/NethermindEth/yayois-gardenhttps://github.com/NethermindEth/TruthTokhttps://github.com/NethermindEth/satoshis-razorhttps://github.com/NethermindEth/teeceptionhttps://github.com/NethermindEth/fremenhttps://github.com/nethermindeth/hummingbossWhat We Need
- An engineering manager who is hyper-focused on delivering concrete results while staying excited by the big picture.
- Experienced in leading software teams that ship fast, experiment often, and hand off to product at the right time.
- Hands-on coder but knows when to pull back.
- Views programming languages as easily learnable tools, not identities.
- Driven to optimize everything with AI, leveraging both traditional software and cutting-edge techniques.
- Understanding blockchain or decentralized systems and LLMs is a plus. Personal projects in these areas are required.
- Fully open attitude: embrace the public domain. Production must be robust, but everything else (ideas, prototypes, experiments) should be publicly accessible.
Role & Responsibilities
- Hire and guide leads for multiple AI x Crypto x Blockchain projects.
- Oversee rapid PoC delivery, ensuring minimal friction and maximum velocity.
- Collaborate closely with product managers for timely, high-quality releases.
- Contribute code where it counts.
- Align with an open ethos—innovate in public, build out loud, and keep the end-user ecosystem thriving.
- Comfortably terminate and iterate on projects.
- Liaise with the group manager to set up new AI x Crypto and Robotics projects.
Requirements
- Evidence of having led multiple small to large teams
- Experience shipping open-source code with considerable adoption
- You must be replacing all your interfaces with LLMs
Nice to have
- Experience shipping projects from genesis
- Robotics is not required (we have a hardware team), but some understanding of this space is good
If these projects are for you, you will feel it. It will be fun, but it will be hard when the air bubble explodes. We will keep building.
