Developer Relations Lead

Espresso Systems is the lead developer of Espresso, a global confirmation layer designed to enhance cross-chain composability by providing fast and reliable transaction confirmations. Espresso confirmations help reduce finality risk and prevent issues like sequencer equivocation, making it easier for applications to operate across multiple chains. The network is currently in its Mainnet 0 release and supports various functionalities, including fast confirmations, decentralized sequencing, and low-cost data availability.

At Espresso Systems, we work with leading teams developing chains, rollups, and applications including Offchain Labs, Polygon, Cartesi, RARI Chain, and beyond—all united in our mission to build an open Web3 experience without silos for all users.

The Espresso team comprises a diverse and passionate group of contributors from around the world. We are developers, designers, and researchers who have contributed in academia, in open source communities, in policymaking, and beyond. We are backed by over $50m in funding from leading investors in technology and crypto including a16z, Greylock Partners, Electric Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Polychain Capital.

We’re looking for a self-driven Developer Relations Lead to become the bridge between our product, engineering, and developer community. You’ll be the owner of developer-facing initiatives, the guardian of our documentation, and the voice of developers inside the organization.

Your mission is to empower developers to build innovative applications on Espresso by providing exceptional support, creating educational content, managing the developer funnel and fostering a vibrant ecosystem. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the developer experience, gathering feedback, and advocating for the needs of our community and being the owner of major touchpoints of devs when first starting to experience and play around Espresso.
