We can then reach out when we have an opening. ## Who we are 📌 Cosmos Labs is the core team driving development and growth of the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem, Cosmos technology stack, and the Cosmos Hub. Cosmos powers the largest network of vertically integrated Layer 1 blockchains in the world: 200+ blockchains use the Cosmos Stack in production. At Cosmos Labs, we are responsible for developing new software and products for the Cosmos Stack and its customers, building and maintaining customer relationships, growing the adoption of our Stack, and fostering the community of independent builders and end users in the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem. Cosmos Labs builds open-source blockchain infrastructure used by 200+ networks globally. The Cosmos SDK and IBC protocol are the foundation for chains managing tens of billions in value. We are now applying this stack to bank tokenized deposits — the most significant shift in banking infrastructure since SWIFT, with the goal of delivering 24/7 asset settlement. We focus on hiring the core team and senior talent to work together in person in NYC and Berlin to build a collaborative and supportive culture. We are  open to hiring best-in-class remote talent anywhere within 6 hours of the NYC timezone. Core team member responsibilities - Work to solve hard technical problems at the cutting edge of blockchain research, alongside a world-class team. - Be empowered to make bold technical and strategic decisions, including in product development, software engineering, marketing, sales, and operations. - Play a critical role in building our culture, our engineering practices, the products we ship, and our customer relationships. ## How we work - We value ambition and work ethic. This means initiative, self development, and adaptability are non-negotiable, even for the most experienced candidates. - We value thoughtful and contentious dialogue over siloed and unilateral decision-making. - We value acknowledging uncertainty and seeking support over unabated confidence and solo performances. - We’re obsessive about documenting everything, learning, and shipping as fast as possible with short feedback cycles. Cosmos Labs is committed to inclusion. Cosmos Labs is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourages individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. We believe the purpose of blockchain is to expand who has agency in society, which starts at home, by empowering people with diverse gender identities, ethnic backgrounds, and life experiences within our own organization. Cosmos Labs offers dedicated mentorship to support personal growth and a bright career in crypto. ## Benefits We offer competitive, equitable compensation and benefits tailored to your location — including token compensation, paid leave, and health coverage. Our goal is to make sure every team member, wherever they are, has what they need to do their best work. ## About Cosmos Labs ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Cosmos Labs is the core development and growth team behind the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem, building and maintaining the open-source Cosmos Stack (SDK, IBC, CometBFT, Cosmos EVM) and driving adoption of the Cosmos Hub. - **Entity Type**: Private (wholly owned subsidiary of the Interchain Foundation, a Swiss non-profit) - **Headquarters**: New York, NY, USA (with additional offices in Berlin, Germany and Seoul, South Korea) - **Founded**: 2025 (as Cosmos Labs, succeeding Interchain Labs / Skip Protocol) - **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed; the entity was formed after the Interchain Foundation acquired Skip Protocol in late 2024 and rebranded from Interchain Labs to Cosmos Labs [cosmos.network](https://cosmos.network/blog/interchain-labs-becomes-cosmos-labs) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Blockchain infrastructure / Interoperability protocols - **Target customers**: Enterprise and government clients needing secure, scalable blockchain solutions; tokenization and banking use cases; developers and independent chains building on the Cosmos Stack - **Mission statement**: “Advance global financial systems with resilient blockchain technology.” [cosmos.network](https://cosmos.network/about) ## Products & Services - **Cosmos SDK v0.53**: Modular framework for building sovereign blockchains; released with no breaking changes. - **IBC V2 / IBC Eureka**: Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol connecting Cosmos chains to Ethereum with lower cost and higher security than bridges. - **CometBFT**: Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus engine (maintained by Cosmos Labs). - **Cosmos EVM**: Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible layer for Cosmos, already adopted by 10+ chains. - **Skip:Go**: Cross-chain API and transfer service (flagship product from the acquired Skip team, now part of the Cosmos Stack). - **Enterprise Services**: Expert engineering, consulting, and custom product development for tokenization and banking solutions offered as paid services on top of the open-source stack.
