Senior Rust Engineer – Based Rollups

Location: Remote (Global)

Type: Full-time

Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity + crypto-native flexibility

Stack: Rust, EVM, zk components, OP Stack.

About Spire Labs

At Spire Labs, we’re building the future of rollup infrastructure with a bold vision: synchronous cross chain composability.

Today, rollups are siloed. Developers are forced to choose between scalability and interoperability. We think that’s a false choice.

Spire is creating a modular rollup framework that allows chains to remain sovereign while achieving cross chain synchronous composability—no trusted bridges, no brittle async calls.

We’re pioneering a new architecture where:

App-specific L3s can interoperate as smoothly as contracts on Ethereum.

Shared sequencing, preconfirmations, and unified execution environments unlock atomic, cross-chain interactions.

Developers no longer need to choose between performance and composability.

“Imagine every rollup could synchronously compose with every other. No bridges, no delay, no fragmentation. Just fast, seamless cross-chain UX. That’s the future we’re building.”

We’re early-stage, ambitious, and backed by some of the best minds in Ethereum. Come help us build the L3 Based Appchain Stack—an open, composable future for rollups.

What You’ll Be Doing

Architect and implement key components of the Based Appchain Stack in Rust

Design low-level systems and interfaces for VMs, preconfirmations, and cross-rollup communication

Contribute to the design of shared sequencing and data availability integrations

Collaborate closely with Solidity engineers, researchers, and protocol designers
