Open-Source Block Building Devrel Engineer

About us

Flashbots started in 2020 as a research and development organization formed to mitigate the negative externalities and existential risks posed by Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). Since then, we have had an immense impact on the world of crypto through mev-geth, Flashbots Protect, MEV-Boost, MEV-Share, our open research and soon-to-be SUAVE.

Our mission is clear: illuminate, democratize and distribute.

We seek to ensure that the value created on decentralized, public blockchains is transparent and distributed. We do this by conducting cutting-edge research, building mission-critical products, and coordinating a diverse community with competing interests.

Our vibe is irreverent, anarchic, excellent, autonomous. We’re explorers, hackers, builders, thinkers. We are relaxed, composed, and at ease in the world, but beneath our suave exterior, we do not have the time or inclination to be anything but the best.

About the role:

We’re looking for a passionate open-source leader and maintainer for our block building efforts. This role is pivotal, acting as a linchpin between various communities and working to leverage their unique expertise for the development of MEV public goods. Moreover, this role acts as the bridge between those communities and our internal team. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love engaging with developers, and are excited about the potential of open-source, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do:

• Define and drive a strategy around cultivating a community of contributors
