About Protocol Labs

Protocol Labs drives breakthroughs in computing to push humanity forward. Protocol Labs is a product-development lab, but behind the protocols and tools we build, behind the research and implementations, are passionate people, teammates, and community members. Most teams in the Protocol Labs Network are fully distributed and work remotely around the world. Engineers, researchers, and operators work in the open to improve the internet — humanity's most important technology — as we explore new advances at the intersection of many exciting fields (crypto, networks, distributed systems) and cultures (startups, research, open-source, distributed work).

Define and build software for tomorrow's web with the Launchpad Residency

With 30+ teams within Protocol Labs and 300+ companies in the Protocol Labs Network (PLN) - now is a great time for developers to ramp up their web3 knowledge and contribute to these cutting-edge technologies directly. The Launchpad Hiring Funnel is designed for engineers ready to build the next generation of the internet who wish to explore a diverse array of projects, and teams, to find their ideal team match at the intersection of their passions, skills, and interests.

After exploring our ecosystem through Launchpad Talent Funnel, new hires participate in the Launchpad Training and Onboarding program, designed to help technical talent level up their decentralized protocol skills through a 6-week onboarding program, where you will learn the mechanics of how our decentralized innovation network collaborates, our protocol suite like IPFS, Filecoin, IPLD, and libp2p, and the innovative projects being built upon them through hands-on labs, 1:1 technical mentorship, expert Q&As from network-teams, and CoLo Week, which brings the CoHort together in a global location to deepen bonds and gain first-hand Web3 community experience at an industry conference.
