Founded in 2015 with the mission to protect the open economy, OpenZeppelin is the world leader in securing blockchain applications and smart contracts.
Our Open-Source Contract Libraries are a public good that have facilitated the transfer of over $35 trillion and are considered the industry standard for smart contract development.
Our professional expertise integrates seamlessly into clients’ development lifecycles, enabling teams to plan, code, audit, deploy, and operate projects more quickly and securely.
Please note: Always refer to OpenZeppelin's official job page for the most accurate information about our open roles, as we have seen multiple third party job sites posting inaccurate information.
The Open Source Team at OpenZeppelin builds and stewards the open-source libraries, tools and standards that power secure and scalable blockchain development. These resources form the backbone of many widely used onchain applications and continue to evolve as new use cases emerge.
Within this team, the Open Source Growth function is a technical growth team focused on expanding the footprint and strategic relevance of our open-source libraries across ecosystems. The team identifies where OpenZeppelin’s standards can advance security, developer experience, and ecosystem maturity, and forms partnerships with foundations, L1s, L2s, and grant programs to support and accelerate this work. The mission is to ensure OpenZeppelin’s open-source portfolio remains the trusted foundation for the next generation of protocols and onchain applications, including emerging areas like privacy, RWAs, payments, interoperability, smart accounts, and new developer tooling.
As the Ecosystem Development Lead, you will generate high-impact opportunities through ecosystem partnerships, open-source funding programs, and network grant initiatives. You will identify where OpenZeppelin’s open-source tools and libraries can help ecosystems grow securely, then shape and secure the strategic funding needed to support that work.
This role requires the ability to navigate complex technical ecosystems, understand protocol roadmaps, and build relationships with ecosystem teams, all while representing OpenZeppelin’s open-source mission with clarity and credibility. You will play a central role in ensuring that OpenZeppelin’s open-source portfolio continues to influence and elevate the next generation of blockchain platforms.
