  You find teaching and community engagement fulfilling:

• A strong track record of speaking, presenting, and teaching highly technical topics, virtually and/or in-person.

• Experience participating in major crypto industry hackathons and conferences; even better if you have helped organize or lead any events or community programs.

• Recognize the culture and community in crypto are different from other professional software industries, and know you want to embrace and improve them.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Be the lead technical partner and point-of-contact for teams using EigenLayer and EigenDA. This includes rollups, validators, and middleware developers across the crypto ecosystem.

• Enable developers to build successfully on our technology, providing prototypes, code samples, developer guides, and technical support to guide them every step of the way.

• Lead developer engagement and communications, including updating our community on protocol updates, providing code support in Discord, participating in hackathons, and speaking/teaching at virtual and in-person conferences.

• Synthesize developer feedback into clear technical requirements, and work with the engineering team to improve our products accordingly.

• In order to do this work effectively, you will need to:

• Accurately assess the needs of partner projects in detail, and concisely propose and explain potential technical solutions, including designs and trade-off considerations.

• Provide proof-of-concept and reference implementations for potential integrations with EigenLayer and EigenDA.

• Constantly learn new concepts, ideas, and frameworks, as you work across many different projects and technologies.

• Build strong relationships with technical leaders and engineers from projects across the Ethereum and broader crypto ecosystem.

• Travel to major industry hackathons and conferences several times a year.

Our Company

About EigenLabs: EigenLabs is building a protocol called EigenLayer that provides crypto-economic security as a service to novel distributed applications such as rollups, bridges, and oracles. Typically these projects are designed to be secured by their own token. However, because it is difficult to bootstrap the value of a new token, this often leads to situations where projects lack sufficient capital to strongly secure their networks. With EigenLayer, projects come to Ethereum for staked security in place of or in addition to their own token. Stakers in the Ethereum proof-of-stake (PoS) network opt in to "re-stake" their Ether through EigenLayer to crypto-economically secure these projects. The projects and their users pay fees back to re-stakers in exchange for stronger security guarantees. EigenLayer makes it possible for developers to build new blockchain networks and protocols that launch with high crypto-economic security, without the need to bootstrap a large amount of value into their own token prior to launch. We believe this modularization of crypto-economic security unlocks new possibilities for open and permissionless innovation.
