Developer Relations Engineer (DevRel)

As a DevRel Engineer at Fairblock, you will play a pivotal role in building and nurturing a vibrant community of developers, engineers, and blockchain enthusiasts looking to build applications and protocols with encryption. Your primary focus will be on empowering developers to build with Fairblock by providing support, creating educational content, and fostering strong relationships within the community.

We are well funded having raised 2.5M from Galileo, Dialectic, Lemniscap, Chorus One, Robot Ventures, GSR, and others, and have already established impactful infrastructure, DeFi, and gaming relationships in the Cosmos and EVM ecosystem. The right hire will work closely with our co-founders and uniquely impact on the success and growth of Fairblock as we accelerate our integrations with thoughtfully planned go-to-market strategies before the mainnet launch.

TLDR:

To make encryption available everywhere, we have to make it fun, easily graspable, and approachable. You will be responsible for shepherding the adoption of onchain encryption and driving excitement from protocol and application developers to offer encryption optionality to their users. We’re in the business of standard-setting, and we believe we have the most accessible product possible to make encryption a standard onchain.

You will be in charge of improving the accessibility of Fairblock’s developer tools and documentation, coordinating hackathons, and building platforms to onboard more builders and encryption-enabled DeFi, Social, and Gaming applications.

About Fairblock:

Fairblock is an MPC coprocessor that delivers practical and composable encryption to developers and users across major blockchains. We’ve integrated with teams across the EVM, Cosmos, and modular ecosystems to unlock impactful applications for users such as programmable encrypted orders, betting-style PVP gaming, private voting, and sealed-bid auctions.

We believe that a lack of encryption availability onchain is one of the major barriers to the adoption of decentralized applications. This roadblock holds for millions of everyday end-users as well as big institutions alike. Our mission is to make onchain encryption available everywhere, usable by everyone, and programmable. 95% of web2 traffic is encrypted - as encryption is a fundamental standard across the internet today, we are building to ensure the same standard is enforced in web3.

We’re a world-class team of researchers and developers focused on applied cryptography for blockchain infrastructure and applications. Our team has a strong background in DeFi, mechanism design, and building applied cryptographic infrastructures.

We’ve already scored big wins in integrations with Arbitrum, Celestia, CoW Swap, and organic growth on our Twitter and Discord communities (~15K). This is just the beginning. There is immense potential for encryption within DeFi, gaming, social, and confidential AI applications.
