You’re a generalist and an analytical and entrepreneurial operator who’s excited to drive strategic ecosystem development initiatives at the Ethereum Foundation. As someone who cares about shaping the future of Ethereum, you'll conceive of, build, and shepherd a diverse set of Ethereum-related "ecodev" projects. You'll also evaluate grants, experiment with allocation methods, and generally help the EF scale up its array of ecodev initiatives.

Strategy:

    • A strong contributor to the overall vision of ecosystem development strategy at the Ethereum Foundation
    • Conceive and develop actionable ecodev plans

    • You're able to work in a highly independent and self-directed manner, while effectively communicating what needs to be communicated
    • You value candor, direct communication, and feedback

    • Curious and question-oriented
    • You're excited to learn
    • You're relentless in asking questions and getting answers
    • Strong relationship management skills
