Head of Developer Relations - Radix Ecosystem

What is the job? 

RDX Works is at the forefront of the decentralized finance (DeFi) revolution, offering a unique platform designed for the rapid development and deployment of DeFi applications. With cutting-edge technology tailored for scalability, security, and efficiency, we are committed to empowering developers and entrepreneurs to create innovative financial solutions. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a seasoned Head of Developer Relations to report to our executive team and spearhead our efforts in making Radix the premier platform for DeFi projects.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Head of Developer Relations will play a strategic role in positioning RDX Works as the best platform for launching DeFi dApps. This senior position involves leading the developer relations team, crafting and executing a comprehensive DevRel strategy, and engaging with developers to foster a vibrant, supportive community. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background, with hands-on programming experience (current or previous), and a deep understanding of the blockchain and DeFi landscape. Your mission will be to champion the Radix platform, leveraging all tools created by RDX Works to engage, inspire, and empower developers worldwide.

What will you be doing?

• Develop and execute a strategic DevRel plan that aligns with Radix’s business objectives, emphasizing the platform’s unique advantages for DeFi application development.
• Lead and expand the developer ecosystem team, setting clear goals and metrics to measure the success of developer engagement and community growth initiatives.
• Engage directly with developers through various channels, including social media, forums, conferences, and hackathons, providing support, gathering feedback, and fostering a positive community environment.
• Collaborate with the executive team on company positioning, ensuring that messaging and materials resonate with the developer audience and highlight the platform’s strengths.
• Use the Radix’s tools to build demonstrations, tutorials, and other educational content that showcases the platform’s capabilities and simplifies the development process for new users.
• Make strategic decisions on the nature and direction of content, events, and collaborate with the marketing and dev teams on marketing materials, ensuring they are effective in attracting and retaining developers.
• Provide insights to the product and engineering teams based on community feedback, helping guide the platform’s development to meet the needs of DeFi developers.
• Work with and support the partnerships/grants teams to ensure all levels of developers/builders are able to launch quickly and effectively on the Radix network.
• Represent RDX Works at industry events, serving as a key spokesperson for the platform’s technology and vision.

What do you need?

The Radix Babylon network has just successfully launched, with an already established and strong developer community. Your first task will be to immerse yourself in that community, get a strong feeling for the kind of problems they look to us to help solve, and build up your trust and leadership within the existing developer ecosystem team. 

We are looking for:

• Strong technical background with hands-on programming experience (okay if rusty) and a willingness to deeply engage with our development tools.
• Proven experience in a developer relations, community management, or similar role, ideally within the blockchain, crypto, or DeFi space.
• Excellent leadership and team management skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate a distributed team.
• Exceptional communication skills, capable of engaging with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to craft and execute a vision for developing and nurturing a vibrant developer ecosystem.
• Deep understanding of the blockchain and DeFi sectors, with a keen insight into the challenges and opportunities for developers in this space.
• Willingness to travel for conferences, meetups, and other community engagement activities

We do not care if you did a degree or have 20 years experience, but we do care that you have a demonstrated passion for learning and personal development, both generally, and in the topics that are relevant to this role.
