\nYou 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).
\nThis 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.
\nLayerZero'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.
\nWe 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.
\nResponsibilities:
\nPartner with BD and Sales to qualify opportunities, run technical discovery, and map customer requirements to concrete interoperability designs.
\nDesign 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.
\nLead technical presentations, workshops, and demos, tailoring the depth to audiences ranging from protocol engineers to C-level executives.
\nBuild and validate POCs and pilot integrations, often writing or reviewing code (e.g., smart contracts, backend services, or sample apps) to prove out patterns.
\nDocument architectures, integration plans, and best practices, including sequence diagrams, threat models, and rollout strategies.
\nCollaborate with Integrations/Forward Deployed Engineering on hand-offs from POC to production, ensuring continuity and a clean path to scale.
\nAdvise on security and reliability for cross-chain flows: failure modes, monitoring, incident response, and operational runbooks.
\nStay current on Web3 trends (L1/L2 roadmaps, bridging standards, custody, regulation) and use that knowledge to shape customer strategy.
\nGather structured field feedback and feed it back into Product and Protocol teams, influencing our roadmap and SDKs.
\nContribute to external-facing content - sample apps, blog posts, talks, and reference architectures that help the ecosystem build better cross-chain systems.
\nRequirements:
\nHave 5–10+ years in customer facing technical roles such as Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Platform/Infra Engineer, or Protocol Engineer.
\nHave a strong grasp of blockchain fundamentals and Web3 architecture: consensus basics, L1/L2 and rollups, bridging models, wallets and signing, vaults, custody, and common DeFi patterns.
\nAre comfortable reading and writing code - ideally in TypeScript, Rust, Go, and/or Solidity - and can quickly understand someone else’s stack.
\nHave deep experience with integration architecture patterns and APIs (REST/gRPC/WebSockets, webhooks, event streams, OAuth/identity, etc.).
\nCan explain complex technical concepts simply, adapting your language for engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders.
\nEnjoy whiteboarding, system design, and storytelling, and can guide a customer from vague ideas to concrete architecture and rollout plans.
\nAre comfortable in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment, juggling multiple high-stakes accounts at once.
\nBonus: have worked with financial services, trading, or other highly regulated industries and understand their risk, compliance, and integration constraints.
