Executive Assistant & Office Manager

OP Labs builds Optimism, an open-source blockchain network that powers the next generation of financial infrastructure.

Hundreds of companies, from the world's largest enterprises like Sony, Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, OKX, and Bitpanda to the most ambitious early-stage builders, use the OP stack to launch their own blockchains and bring their users onchain.

Today, over 65% of Layer 2 activity on Ethereum runs through the OP stack.

We are a small team building at the speed of the ecosystem we support.

We’re remote-friendly but the NYC office is our center of gravity.

We've raised $178M from a16z, Paradigm, and others.

We have our work cut out for us and are looking for exceptional people to join us.
