Eigen Labs
Staff Security Engineer, Smart Contracts
Eigen Labs is building the infrastructure for a more
trustworthy
internet. EigenCloud changes this by making any digital service verifiable. Built on our EigenLayer protocol, which has attracted billions in economic security, EigenCloud lets developers build applications with mathematical trust guarantees instead of pinky promises. For developers, this means the best of both worlds: Use familiar cloud tools and programming environments while gaining blockchain-level verifiability. No need to rewrite your application in specialized blockchain languages or accept the limitations of smart contract environments. For the world, this
unlocks
transformative applications: AI systems with economic accountability for their outputs Social platforms with verifiable, manipulation-resistant algorithms Prediction markets that can resolve on any real-world event Financial services with cryptographic transparency Any application where trust and correctness matter We're moving beyond crypto's current focus on digital money to make all digital interactions more trustworthy. With the fastest-growing developer ecosystem in crypto and backing from top-tier investors, we're at the inflection point where verifiable computing goes mainstream. Ready to build the trust layer for the internet?
We're looking for builders who want to solve hard problems and create technology that makes the digital world fundamentally more reliable. The Role
As a Smart Contract Security Engineer, you won’t just audit code—you’ll shape the security model for billions of dollars of restaked ETH and safeguard the trust of an entire ecosystem. You’ll work at the intersection of cutting-edge research, high-stakes engineering, and adversarial thinking, building defenses for a protocol that is redefining how crypto infrastructure is shared and secured. This is a chance to tackle some of the hardest problems in blockchain security, collaborate with world-class researchers and engineers and if you thrive on high impact, high responsibility, and pushing the boundaries of what secure decentralized systems can be, EigenLayer is where you’ll want to be. This is a full-time position that is fully remote or located with the largely Seattle-based team. What You Will Do
Lead design and security reviews of complex staking, slashing, EigenPods and reward distribution contracts. Build tooling, fuzzers, and formal verification pipelines to identify vulnerabilities before attackers do. Collaborate directly with protocol researchers and core engineers to harden new features from inception. Read, interpret, and refine formal verification specifications, making changes as needed to ensure they reflect protocol intent and capture critical security properties. You will work closely with the product and leadership teams to set the on-chain strategy and roadmaps. This is a unique opportunity to build an entirely new paradigm of permissionless innovation, and create outsized impact on EigenLayer, and the Ethereum community. What You Will Bring
Deep understanding of blockchain fundamentals, common vulnerabilities, and the EVM Experience with developer tools for smart contract application developers (Hardhat, Foundry) Passion for collaborating with other developers, security auditors, and stakeholders to ensure the quality and security of smart contracts Strong testing skills and experience with testing frameworks for smart contracts Experience with production deployments of non-trivial protocols, and associated security audits Ability to collaborate with cross-functional and geographically remote teams, partners, and community members The target salary range for this role is $220,000 - $260,000 USD. The listed range reflects compensation for candidates located in U.S. Tier 1 markets and may vary depending on your location. In addition to base salary, total compensation may include short- and long-term incentives as well as program-specific awards. US Benefits
Competitive salary and non-cash compensation (tokens and equity) World class benefits package (medical/dental/vision) Remote work set up stipend Flexible hours and a supportive remote environment Flexible time off 401(k) retirement plan + company match Monthly wellness benefit Yearly off-sites Paid parental leave If hired outside of the US through an EOR, benefits will be offered based on specific country requirements and EOR offerings. Equal Opportunity Employment
There’s one more, very important thing. We are an equal opportunity employer. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We take care of each other to create an inclusive work environment where we love to come to work every day. We hope you can join us. With EigenLayer, building blockchain infrastructure modules (AVSs) in a permissionless manner is no longer a hypothetical—it's our reality. Now, we invite you to be part of this exciting journey.
