Contribute to important Rust-based Ethereum and OP Stack infrastructure including OP Reth, Kona, and related open-source tools and libraries.
Evolve our proof system to meet stage 2 requirements using dispute games and/or validity proofs.
Assist in occasional maintenance of existing Go-based infrastructure as needed.
Work with other teams and other disciplines within OP Labs, and with our ecosystem of external developers and partners.
