Lambda is a deep tech venture studio within Ergodic Group, a holding company focused on long-term technology bets. We identify hard problems worth solving and build advanced systems to solve them.
Our team brings deep expertise across cryptography, distributed systems, compilers, machine learning, high-frequency trading, real-time bidding, aerospace, biotech, gaming, and embedded devices. This domain knowledge—knowing what to build and why—is our foundation.
We work where research meets production.
Founded in 2014 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Lambda has expanded to Montevideo (Uruguay), Madrid and Barcelona (Spain), and Paris (France). We hire in all locations.

Technical Judgment at Scale
In a world where code is increasingly automated, the scarce resource is judgment:
knowing which problems matter, which architectures will hold, and which tradeoffs
are worth making. Lambda exists to apply deep technical judgment to complex challenges.
Our Engagement Model
We don't work hourly. We don't do staff augmentation.
We establish shared goals with our partners and work independently, employing our methodology to achieve results. When you partner with Lambda, you're not hiring developers—you're engaging a team that will own the problem end-to-end.
We ensure fluid communication and full accountability. But we work our way. We've spent a decade learning how.
We believe in transparency: both our selection process and the foundational year are demanding. They're designed to challenge you and help you grow.
60% of applicants do not complete the selection process. 50% of those who join do not continue after the first year due to cultural, technical, or methodological differences. We're selecting for people who can navigate ambiguity, exercise judgment on hard problems, and thrive in an environment where the answer isn't always clear.

Note: For the type of work we do, we think remote work is not particularly effective.
A selection of engineering work we're building or maintaining.
Minimalist, fast, and modular implementation of the Ethereum protocol in Rust. L1 and L2 execution client.
Implementations for SNARKs and STARKs provers, with flexible components for constructing custom proof systems.
A simple programming language for creating highly scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems.
Rust implementation of the Cairo VM for writing provable programs.
Ethereum validator sidecar for standardizing communication between validators and third-party protocols.
We support projects we believe in—through sponsorships, donations, and collaboration.
We publish our experiences and projects at blog.lambdaclass.com.
