About the Role
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.
Key Responsibilities
-
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 (GitHub, Discord, X/Twitter, Reddit).
What We Are Looking For
-
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.
Requirements & Qualifications
-
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.
-
Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust) and familiarity with modern API architectures.
-
Willingness to travel (up to 30-40%) to attend conferences, hackathons, and community meetups globally.
Bonus Points If You...
-
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].
What We Offer
-
Competitive salary
-
Top-of-the-line tech setup of your choice.
-
Flexible PTO and a hybrid working culture.
We bring together the leading voices in crypto. TOKEN2049 is a global conference series, where decision-makers in the global crypto ecosystem connect to exchange ideas, network, and shape the industry.
