Compensation & Growth Path
This is a part time equity / token-based cofounder opportunity. You will receive equity in
Launch Legends,
Autheo, and the
WFO Creator Network, along with token allocations in the Autheo blockchain. We have already completed an initial financing round to support infrastructure and marketing, and are currently in discussions with VCs and crypto investors to fund expansion and
salaries. Salaried compensation is expected to begin within 4 to 5 months, following our node, token sales or funding.
ROLE: Senior Patent Engineer (Blockchain, Cryptography & Distributed Systems)
About the Role
Launch Legends, together with its subsidiary Legendary IP LLC, is seeking an exceptional Senior Patent Engineer to join our advanced IP division supporting Autheo's groundbreaking innovations in Layer-0/Layer-1 blockchain systems, cryptography, distributed systems, and decentralized compute. As a core member of the patent creation team, you will translate complex engineering breakthroughs into patent-ready disclosures, draft technical specifications, and collaborate directly with architects, researchers, kernel engineers, cryptographers, and protocol designers.
You will be instrumental in producing the first wave of ~50 filings and the broader portfolio of ~200 provisional and non-provisional patents in 2026.
Key Responsibilities
• Translate engineering and research innovations into detailed invention disclosures, diagrams, workflows, and draft claim frameworks.
• Collaborate with blockchain, cryptography, distributed systems, DePIN, VM, and Kernel teams to capture architectural and algorithmic innovations accurately.
• Draft technical sections of provisional applications prior to attorney refinement.
• Perform prior-art research to evaluate novelty, inventive step, and potential claim scope.
• Document primitives involving consensus, DAG scheduling, decentralized identity, encrypted execution, FHE/ZK, and high-throughput compute.
• Support refinement of system diagrams, sequence flows, and engineering specifications for filings.
• Assist in responding to office actions by providing technical explanations and evidence.
Research & Innovation Leadership
• Maintain detailed understanding of cutting-edge blockchain, cryptography, VM, DePIN, and distributed compute research.
• Contribute to internal whitepapers and engineering documentation supporting IP strategy.
Requirements - Must Have
• 4-8 years experience as a patent engineer, systems engineer, cryptography engineer, or protocol engineer.
• Strong technical depth in blockchain systems (Cosmos SDK, EVM, DAGs, consensus algorithms).
• Experience drafting patent disclosures or deep technical documentation.
• Ability to convert engineering ideas into clear, structured technical narratives.
• Familiarity with cryptography (PQC, FHE, ZKPs), distributed systems, compute frameworks, or VM internals.
Nice to Have
• Prior work in patent drafting or IP support for emerging technology companies.
• Contributions to open-source blockchain or cryptography libraries.
• Advanced degree in CS, EE, Cryptography, Applied Math, or related fields.
First 90-Day Deliverables
• 15-20 high-quality invention disclosures.
• Draft technical sections for 10-15 provisional applications.
• Complete prior-art evaluations for first 50 PQC-related filings.
• Establish repeatable documentation workflows for engineering teams.
