Matter Labs is a California-based innovation lab passionate about changing the world through technology that matters. Innovation consulting, startup studio, and technology events. Backed by a16z.
About the role
You will be the engineer embedded with our institutional customers, taking Prividium from a signed deal to a live chain inside their environment. The institutions running on it are banks, custodians, and clearing houses moving real value on infrastructure built decades ago. What you deploy becomes part of how they operate.
What they're looking for
- Production software you have owned and run, including carrying a pager for it
- A strong coder. TypeScript or Rust in your day to day, or deep fluency in a comparable language such as Java, C#, Go, or Python and the ability to pick ours up fast
- Serious time inside customer environments, whether as a forward deployed engineer, a solutions architect, or a technical founder. Former founders are strongly encouraged to apply
- We are hiring two people into this role and we are not looking for one person who covers both of the areas below. Depth in one is what matters
More about this role
Matter Labs builds private cryptographic infrastructure that lets regulated institutions settle directly with each other without exposing data, ceding control, or waiting days. Global finance moves $4 quadrillion a year on systems designed for paper and telex. The institutions that built them - from clearing houses to exchanges to the world's largest banks, institutions are now actively replacing them. We're building what comes next.
Our core product, Prividium, gives each institution its own private environment (a Prividium Zone) with independent governance and built-in interoperability across counterparties, asset classes, and jurisdictions. Interoperability happens through zero-knowledge proofs: one party proves a transaction is valid without revealing any underlying data to the counterparty. The only private settlement infrastructure built on zero-knowledge cryptography.
Founded in 2018. Backed by a16z and Union Square Ventures. A fully remote team of around 70 with eight years of production zero-knowledge infrastructure behind us, now pointed at the biggest problem in institutional finance.
