About ZetaChain We’re building something ambitious at ZetaChain: the first universal blockchain and AI platform that connects everything—Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more—while pioneering in the GenAI space. We’re backed by top investors, live on mainnet, and building the future of blockchain and AI 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. It 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. You won’t need to write smart contracts, but you must 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

You Should Have

6+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 1+ years in a tech lead or senior leadership role

Strong full‑stack background, with a focus on building consumer products

Proven track record shipping production‑grade applications, ideally in Web3 or fintech

Experience with breaking down complex projects and guiding a team to successfully deliver them

Bonus Points

Solid grasp of Web3 architecture: how contracts, wallets, assets, and RPC interactions work

3+ years of engineering team management

Experience across multiple blockchain ecosystems (e.g., Solana, SUI, Bitcoin, TON)

Background at both fast‑moving startups and more structured organizations

History of launching products from 0 → 1

Experience building applications at scale (millions of users)

2 to 3 in‑office days per week . We know life happens, whether it’s travel, appointments, or family needs, and we’re flexible when the schedule needs to shift. But generally, we value showing up, building together, and keeping the energy high. The company is a mix of remote and local team members.
