Developer Relation Lead

We are looking for a high-energy, community-first
Developer Relations Lead
who lives and breathes developer culture. In this role, you won't just be talking about our tech—you will be the bridge building a vibrant, global ecosystem around it.

Your primary superpower?
Hackathons and relationships. You have a proven track record of designing, executing, and scaling high-impact hackathons (both virtual and IRL). More importantly, you possess an extensive, deep-rooted rolodex of software engineers, builders, and technical founders who trust your voice and love to build with you.

Own the Hackathon Strategy: End-to-end strategy, execution, and post-mortems for regional and global hackathons. You will turn raw sign-ups into shipped, high-quality projects.

Cultivate the Engineer Network: Leverage and expand your existing vast network of developers, engineers, and technical architects to drive adoption of our platform.

Champion the Developer Experience (DX): Act as the internal advocate for external developers. Gather brutal, honest feedback from hackathons and community interactions, and funnel it directly to our Product and Engineering teams.

Technical Content &

Education:

Create highly engaging, frictionless onboarding materials—like quick-start repositories, boilerplate code, and technical tutorials—specifically optimized for fast-paced hackathon environments.

Represent at Scale: Speak at major conferences, host workshops, judge hackathons, and maintain a highly visible, authentic presence in technical communities (Git Hub, Discord, X/Twitter, Reddit).

The Hackathon Veteran: You have successfully organized or heavily participated in major hackathons (e.g., ETHGlobal, Major League Hacking, corporate mega-hackathons) and know exactly what it takes to keep developers engaged at 3:00 AM.

The Connected Networker: You don't need to start building a network from scratch; you already have a massive web of relationships with engineers, open-source contributors, and tech communities.

Technical Chops: You can code. While you aren't writing production software all day, you can confidently build sample apps, debug API integrations, and speak peer-to-peer with senior engineers.

Exceptional Empathy: You genuinely care about developer success. You are patient, accessible, and obsessed with eliminating friction for builders.

Event Master: Strong project management skills. You can coordinate logistics, marketing, tracking metrics, and prizing without breaking a sweat.

5+ years of experience in Developer Relations, Developer Evangelism, or Community Engineering.

A strong portfolio of past technical events, hackathons, or community initiatives you personally spearheaded.

Willingness to travel (up to 30-40%) to attend conferences, hackathons, and community meetups globally.

Have a strong personal brand, technical blog, or large following in the developer ecosystem.

Are a former software engineer who realized they love talking to humans just as much as writing code.

Have deep experience in [insert specific niche, e.g., Web3 / AI / Cloud Infrastructure / Open Source].

Top-of-the-line tech setup of your choice.

Flexible PTO and a hybrid working culture.
