LayerZero

The Future is Omnichain.

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.

We are funded by the best investors in the world including:

a16z, Sequoia, PayPal, Binance Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Circle Ventures, Delphi Digital, and many more.

• Culture & Execution Rhythms: Establish policies, cadences, and systems that reinforce a high-performance, in-person culture.
• Operational Infrastructure: Oversee office operations, vendor relationships, and internal compliance requirements.
• Leadership Partner: Work closely with our Founders and Exec team to identify bottlenecks, forecast resource needs, and implement scalable solutions.
