Requirements

We are looking for a Developer Advocate who can lead the construction of crystal-clear and intuitive onboarding processes, documentation, and a proactive support ecosystem. This person is capable of learning the evolving needs of developers, leading a team that implements solutions, and presenting emerging product requirements & solutions to executives.

We need someone with a hacker mentality. What does that mean? It means you can listen to developers, ask smart questions, and experiment. You see Axelar through the eyes of a developer who is trying to use it to build interoperability into a decentralized application or platform.

• Experience with Typescript and/or GraphQL.


• Demonstrated written and spoken communication abilities.

About you:

• You have experience working as a developer or an engineer.


• You have Web3 technical knowledge, but mainly you have enthusiasm for decentralized systems, demonstrated by work you’ve done to experiment and learn.


• You communicate crisply when writing or editing documentation, recording a demo video, presenting on stage, and posting in message groups.


• You are a good networker. You enjoy creating and maintaining strong, friendly professional relationships, both online and IRL.


• You’re open to collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, flourishing in a distributed environment.


• You enjoy being hands-on, a creative self-starter who thrives well in ambiguity.


• A problem-solver at heart who can envision successful outcomes.

Benefits

What’s in it for you:

• Autonomous, distributed environment with the opportunity to work collaboratively in a diverse team across the world.


• The scope to contribute to high impact work and really make a difference in a decentralized protocol.


• Chance to really challenge yourself whilst learning heaps of stuff in the process.


• Unlimited time off throughout the year to rest and recharge.
