Senior Product Engineer

About ZetaChain

We're building something ambitious at ZetaChain : the first universal blockchain that connects everything—Bitcoin, Ethereum, every chain. We're backed by top investors, live on mainnet, and building the future of blockchain technology. If you're excited about working on big, meaningful problems with a world-class team, you're in the right place.

About the Role

ZetaChain is at the forefront of building the first fully interoperable layer-1 blockchain. We're looking for an experienced and passionate Product Engineer to spearhead the development of innovative Web3 applications powered by our cross-chain interoperability layer.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on building new user-facing products from scratch, enjoys the fast pace of a startup, and wants to be on the bleeding edge of cross-chain Web3 technology. This role will play a pivotal role in shaping our product engineering culture, mentoring other developers, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with cross-chain dApps.

Blockchain experience isn't required if you have a proven track record of building successful products. This role won’t need to write smart contracts but you will need to develop a strong understanding of Solidity and how to interact with Web3 smart contracts and assets. Experience across other chains like Solana, SUI, Bitcoin, or TON is a huge plus.

What You'll Do

• Build full-stack features that touch everything from contract interactions to slick frontend interfaces
• Work closely with design, protocol, and ecosystem teams to bring innovative universal apps to life
• Solve hard technical problems, from user onboarding to high-throughput systems
• Contribute to open-source projects and shape best practices in a rapidly evolving space
• Architect, plan, and execute projects, from initial concept to launch, by breaking down high-level goals into well-defined tasks and tickets for the team
• Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure code quality, maintainability, and adherence to best practices
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for the team, collaborating with product and design to clarify requirements and manage technical risks
