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.

  • 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.
  • Maintain detailed understanding of cutting-edge blockchain, cryptography, VM, DePIN, and distributed compute research.
  • Contribute to internal whitepapers and engineering documentation supporting IP strategy.
  • 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.
  • 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.
