  • Technical Content & Education
    • Write deep-dive blog posts, tutorials, and technical documentation to guide developers in building cross-chain applications.
    • Conduct live coding sessions, workshops, and webinars to onboard new developers.
  • Hackathons, Bounties & Developer Acceleration
    • Organize online hackathons and developer bounties to foster innovation.
    • Support early-stage projects building on ZetaChain through mentorship and funding initiatives.
    • Design challenge tracks for developer events, ensuring they align with ZetaChain's strategic goals.
  • Ecosystem & Tooling Support
    • Collaborate with external service providers to improve the developer experience on ZetaChain.
    • Work closely with the engineering team to provide developer feedback and improve ZetaChain's protocol and tools.
What You Bring

  • Strong Technical Background
    • Proficiency in Solidity (required), with experience writing and deploying smart contracts.
    • Familiarity with TypeScript, Rust and Move (optional).
    • Experience working with blockchain node infrastructure, RPCs, and cross-chain messaging.
  • Developer Relations & Community Building
    • Experience in DevRel, Developer Advocacy, or Technical Education.
    • Experience managing developer communities and providing technical support.
    • Strong communication skills and ability to explain complex technical topics clearly.
  • Startup & Ecosystem Growth Mindset
    • Proactive, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment.
    • Excited about interoperability, cross-chain development, and universal apps.
    • Passion for open-source projects and contributing to the blockchain ecosystem.
  • Travel Requirements
    • This position requires frequent travel to attend conferences, hackathons, and developer events globally.
