Posted on Feb 8, 2024
At Matter Labs, we believe freedom drives progress and prosperity. We don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a team aligned around a single mission: to advance personal freedom for all (see ZK Credo).
To achieve this goal, we’re building zkSync — a credibly neutral, fully open source technology stack and network on top of Ethereum, which is owned and governed by its community. We use advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum infinitely without compromising on security or decentralization. With a world-class team, a community of over 1M supporters across Twitter + Discord, and hundreds of millions $ in funding, we have abundant resources to accomplish the mission.
We are looking for an exceptional marketing leader with an entrepreneurial mindset and high levels of energy and enthusiasm. Your mission is to shape our marketing organization to be the most efficient, creative, and values-aligned marketing team in crypto. We want you to relentlessly push our narrative into the ecosystem to establish zkSync as the #1 L2 protocol for crypto-native builders.
