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. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re hiring our first AI Enablement Engineer to lead one of the most important initiatives at LayerZero: embedding AI deeply into our internal operations to drive productivity, scale, and operational excellence. This is a rare opportunity to shape how our organization functions—using AI to amplify the impact of every team member and help us operate like a 1000-person company, even as a 100-person team. You’ll work directly with our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer to identify high-leverage business problems and build internal tools and automations that solve them. Your north star is simple: use AI to save time, reduce friction, and make LayerZero a more powerful, effective, and enjoyable place to work. This isn’t a research role or a theoretical position—it’s deeply practical. You’ll talk to people across the company to understand their workflows, identify bottlenecks, and build internal AI-powered products that unlock efficiency. You’ll also help shape our broader approach to AI adoption, ensuring that employees across the company have access to tools that empower them. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and maintain internal tools and automations that use LLMs and other AI models to streamline operations and give our teams more leverage, including automating your own workflow wherever possible using the latest capabilities. Work with the COO and CTO to identify high-impact opportunities for automation and process enhancement across all departments. Rapidly prototype AI-enabled utilities (e.g. copilots, bots, assistants) and bring them into production quickly. Take ownership of complex systems, making smart architecture decisions (sometimes with help from AI) and debugging as needed across backend and frontend. Handle sensitive logic or data with care, operating with a high level of trust and accountability. Work closely with colleagues to ensure the tools you build are adopted and deliver clear, immediate value. Stay up-to-date with the evolving AI ecosystem (e.g. LLM APIs, agents, eval tools) and continuously apply what you learn to your work. Serve as a  force-multiplier , helping LayerZero stay lean, agile, and execution-focused as we scale. ABOUT YOU 3–4 years of software engineering experience , including work on full-stack applications. Demonstrated experience building with LLMs and AI tools (e.g. GPT, Claude, open-source models, embedding APIs, vector databases, LangChain/AutoGen/RAG frameworks, etc.). Strong skills in Python and either React/JavaScript or another modern frontend stack. Comfort with debugging and productionizing AI-driven applications. Ability to operate independently, take full ownership of projects, and prioritize outcomes over perfection. Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to deeply understand others' workflows and pain points. Passion for AI: you experiment with new tools, stay on top of model updates, and likely have side projects or personal examples of AI things you’ve built. Located onsite (or willing to relocate); this is a highly collaborative and hands-on role. NICE TO HAVE Experience in a high-ownership startup environment or working closely with leadership. Familiarity with how blockchain, interoperability protocols , or decentralized systems work. Background in  operations, product ops, or internal tooling within tech companies. The base salary for this position ranges from $120,000/year up to $200,000/year. Salary is based on a number of factors and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
