Staff Solutions Architect at LayerZero Labs

<h1><strong>LayerZero</strong></h1> <p><em><strong>The Future is Omnichain.</strong></em></p> <p>Founded in 2021, LayerZero’s vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities. With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains.</p> <p>We are funded by the best investors in the world including:</p> <p>a16z, Sequoia, PayPal, Binance Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Circle Ventures, Delphi Digital, and many more.</p> <h1><strong>ABOUT THE ROLE</strong></h1> <p>As a Solutions Architect, you are the technical owner of the customer journey from first deep‑dive through successful production deployment.</p> <p>You will lead discovery, design architectures, build proof‑of‑concepts, and clearly explain how LayerZero fits into a customer’s existing stack (on‑chain, off‑chain, and AI/data systems). You’ll work closely with our FDEs and Product teams to ensure what we propose is not only compelling, but actually shippable and supportable.</p> <p>This is a hands‑on, customer‑facing role - not a pure slideware or support function. You’ll be expected to whiteboard, write code for demos and POCs, and speak fluently about both Web3 primitives and modern software & architecture.</p> <p>LayerZero’s Solutions Architecture team is the technical front line for our go‑to‑market motion. We partner closely with Business Development, Forward Deployed Engineering, and core Product/Protocol teams to help customers design and adopt cross‑chain architectures built on LayerZero.</p> <p>We engage with a wide range of organizations - from DeFi protocols and Web3 infrastructure teams, to global banks, asset managers, and enterprises exploring blockchain and AI‑driven use cases - and act as trusted advisors on interoperability, security, and system design.</p> <h1><strong>WHAT YOU'LL DO</strong></h1> <div class="p-rich_text_section"> <ul> <li>Partner with BD and Sales to qualify opportunities, run technical discovery, and map customer requirements to concrete interoperability designs.</li> <li>Design reference and bespoke architectures that integrate LayerZero with customer systems - including smart contracts, wallets/custody, trading or settlement systems, data platforms, and banking/payments rails.</li> <li>Lead technical presentations, workshops, and demos, tailoring the depth to audiences ranging from protocol engineers to C‑level executives.</li> <li>Build and validate POCs and pilot integrations, often writing or reviewing code (e.g., smart contracts, backend services, or sample apps) to prove out pat
