ABOUT THE ROLE

Interop Labs recently announced the Interchain Amplifier protocol. The Interchain Amplifier is a set of on-chain contracts and related services that enable integrators to easily connect chains and off-chain capabilities to the Axelar network. As an Integrations Engineer, you will steward the end-to-end technical process of integrating a blockchain to Axelar via Interchain Amplifier. You will play a pivotal role in researching new smart contract languages, virtual machines & alternative cryptographic verification methods in order to design bespoke technical specifications for integrating different blockchains to the network.
You will work cross-functionally, primarily with Product and Engineering and potentially also Developer Relations & Business Development to help partners successfully achieve their goals through bespoke integrations and to constantly improve internal products and processes to provide a better developer experience.
