Looking to join a world-class blockchain development team? Ava Labs makes it simple to deploy high-performance solutions for Web3, led by innovations on Avalanche. The company was founded by Cornell computer scientists, who partnered with Wall Street veterans and early Web3 leaders to execute a promising vision for redefining the way people build permissionless networks. Ava Labs is redefining the way people create value with Web3. Join us as we empower people to easily and freely digitize all the world’s assets on one open, programmable blockchain platform. Avalanche Foundation supports the growth, sustainability, and decentralization of the Avalanche ecosystem, one of the world’s fastest, most scalable blockchain platforms. The Foundation partners closely with builders, investors, and ecosystem participants to steward long-term value creation and responsible innovation across Web3. The Avalanche Foundation is looking for a technically deep program leader to own the planning, coordination, and delivery of complex blockchain programs.

You will work across internal teams and external ecosystem partners, third-party developers, auditors, integration partners, and be expected to get into the technical details, ask the right questions, keep programs on track, and keep leadership informed. WHAT YOU WILL OWN - End-to-end program delivery across cross-functional and cross-organisational workstreams, from scoping and resourcing through to launch and retrospective - Program plans with clear milestones, dependencies, risk registers, and acceptance criteria, adapting delivery frameworks pragmatically to each program - Coordination across engineering, research, security, legal, and finance, resolving blockers
