🚀 About The Paradigm Shifters (TPS)
TPS is building a next-generation modular public blockchain, powered by advanced cryptography — Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), witness encryption, and beyond. By decoupling verification from computation, we’re unlocking massive performance gains, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and entirely new categories of applications across payments, AI agents, and frontier tech.
We’re backed by pioneers in the blockchain space, including the Neo Foundation, and led by a globally distributed team of researchers, cryptographers, and builders. We’re at the whitepaper-to-launch stage, creating the foundation for a developer-first ecosystem with no limits attached.
🎯 The Role
Location: Fully Remote (U.S.) | Type: Full-time | Start Date: ASAP
We’re looking for our first Director of Developer Relations — a hands-on engineer, community activator, and evangelist. You’ll be the bridge between our protocol and the people building on top of it.
This role is both technical and community-facing: you’ll write sample code, demos, and tutorials while also hosting hackathons, speaking at events, and amplifying what our builders are creating. Internally, you’ll channel developer insights into our product direction. Externally, you’ll represent TPS as the platform of choice for ZK builders and modular blockchain innovation.
Current Team (~20 people): Founder, Research & Consensus Engineering (13), Founding GTM, Founding P&T/Ops, Director of Marketing, Tech Content Writer.
This is a ground-zero opportunity: no legacy playbook, just the chance to build the ecosystem that defines the next wave of decentralized applications.
🛠️ What You’ll Do
- Community Activation: Build and nurture a vibrant developer-first community. Host workshops, hackathons, AMAs, and lead technical conversations across Discord, GitHub, Twitter, and wherever builders gather.
- API & Protocol Evangelism: Create prototypes, demos, and reference apps that show off what’s possible with TPS. Amplify the work of early adopters to inspire the ecosystem.
- Content & Thought Leadership: Produce high-quality technical content (tutorials, docs, blogs, talks, videos, streams) that simplifies complex concepts and drives adoption.
- Product Feedback Loop: Serve as the voice of the developer internally. Surface insights, pain points, and feature requests directly to engineering and product teams.
- Open Source Engagement: Contribute to, support, and highlight open-source projects that extend TPS capabilities.
- Measure & Iterate: Define metrics, track community engagement/adoption, and continually evolve strategies to grow a thriving builder ecosystem.
✅ What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years in Developer Relations/Evangelism, ideally building communities from scratch.
- Strong technical foundation (engineering background in blockchain, cryptography, or decentralized systems).
- 6+ years in the decentralized space.
- Huge Plus: Direct ZK experience; minimum, a deep understanding of its technical significance.
- Proven track record of driving measurable developer adoption (IRL & online).
- Experienced technical communicator — code, docs, demos, workshops, videos, streaming.
- Trusted voice in developer/open-source communities; comfortable “building in public.”
- Excellent storyteller: able to simplify complex cryptography for diverse audiences.
- Experienced public speaker and community builder at conferences, hackathons, and meetups.
- Collaborative operator who can bridge engineering, product, and marketing.
- Startup-ready: thrives as a sole-contributor in a fast-paced, high-leverage environment.
🌍 Why Join TPS
- Impact from Zero → One: Shape the developer experience for a new modular blockchain at launch phase.
- Cutting-Edge Tech: Work at the frontier of ZK cryptography, modular design, and decentralized computation.
- Builder-First Culture: Empower developers directly — no bureaucracy, no gatekeepers.
- Global Team: Collaborate with top researchers, cryptographers, and founders across continents.
- No Limits: The role is as expansive as you want to make it — create your own playbook for community, adoption, and ecosystem scale.
⚡ TPS is where cryptographic research meets real-world adoption. If you’re ready to evangelize, inspire, and build the developer-first ecosystem of the next decade, we’d love to talk.
