Head of Developer Adoption

ON-SITE OR REMOTE –FULL TIME

Overview

Arweave is a permanent information storage network, built on a new type of blockchain called a blockweave. We are working to solve the problem of the ‘memory hole’, as formulated by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four, by building the first data storage medium that truly never forgets. Arweave works by rewarding network participants for contributing hard disk space to the network, in a similar fashion to proof of work in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

What you’ll do

Being Head of Developer Adoption at Arweave will require you to manage our team of developer advocates, as they grow and strengthen the Arweave developer community. Together with this team, you will: 

• Devise, execute, evaluate and refine creative developer acquisition strategies.
• Build and refine developer reward programmes for incentivising adoption of the Arweave network, focussing on tangible, clear outcomes.
• Manage relationship life cycles with individual community members that apply for our grant and investment programmes, from sourcing to completion.

About Yourself

You are a strong communicator, work well in distributed teams and have proven technical aptitudes. Crucially, you have played a pivotal role in gaining the adoption of a developer-focused protocol/product at least once before.
