The Role

We are seeking a native Chinese-speaking Developer Relations Engineer to expand our developer ecosystem across Asia, with a particular focus on China — the largest market for blockchain builders, exchanges, and token adoption.

This role combines technical integration support, community evangelism, and localized documentation. You’ll serve as the bridge between developers, business partners, and our engineering teams, ensuring builders in the Chinese-speaking ecosystem can successfully adopt and deploy on Horizen.

This position requires both technical depth (especially in ZK and adjacent privacy technologies like TEE, MPC, and FHE) and strong communication skills. You will not only produce localized content and documentation, but also work hands-on with developers and business partners to integrate our technology into real-world applications.

What You’ll Own

Community Building Evangelism

  • Drive adoption of Horizen across Chinese-speaking developer communities.
  • Organize and represent the foundation at hackathons, meetups, and blockchain club events in Asia.
  • Act as the public face of our technology in the region through talks, online engagement, and video content.

Technical Integration Support

  • Provide hands-on support to developers and BD partners integrating our technology into their applications.
  • Assist with grant program recipients to ensure quality delivery of funded projects.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to identify and fill gaps in tooling and developer resources.

Content Documentation

  • Translate and localize technical documentation, tutorials, and educational resources into Chinese.
  • Produce high-quality guides, sample code, and video tutorials tailored for the local developer audience.
  • Ensure developers have clear, accurate, and accessible resources to get started.

Partnerships Advocacy

  • Work closely with the BD team to support enterprise and ecosystem partners.
  • Advocate for developer needs internally, influencing product direction and tool improvements.
  • Build relationships with universities, blockchain clubs, and training partners across Asia.

Qualifications

  • Native or fluent Chinese speaker, with strong English communication skills.
  • 5+ years total experience in blockchain, developer relations, technical evangelism, or related engineering roles.
  • 2+ years hands-on experience with Zero-Knowledge proofs (ZK) or adjacent privacy technologies (TEE, MPC, FHE).
  • Ability to produce technical content (docs, tutorials, sample code, videos) for developers.
  • Hands-on development experience (Rust, Solidity, or other blockchain-relevant languages).
  • Experience engaging with developer communities through events, hackathons, or online channels.
  • Willingness to travel across Asia for community and partner engagements.

Why Join Us?

  • Play a key role in growing the largest market for blockchain adoption.
  • Work at the intersection of cutting-edge privacy tech and Web3 scalability.
  • Help shape the future of ZK adoption by engaging directly with developers and partners in Asia.
  • Join a global foundation team with strong backing and an ambitious roadmap.

View company profile

Horizen Labs, founded in 2019 by Rob Viglione, embarked on a mission to build a more secure and equitable digital world, positioning itself at the heart of the decentralization revolution. The company was established to provide efficient and cost-effective ways to create blockchain solutions for real-world applications, emphasizing information integrity and data privacy without compromising scalability or security. Horizen Labs' proprietary blockchain deployment tools empower users to develop blockchain solutions by leveraging Horizen's robust and secure public blockchain platform, which features enhanced privacy, low transaction fees, and configurable revenue models. The journey began with a focus on harnessing zero-knowledge technology to preserve data privacy on a highly secure decentralized network, enabling builders, makers, and enterprises to create scalable blockchain applications. This vision aimed to grant the world greater freedom, wider accessibility, and broader economic opportunity.

Over the years, Horizen Labs has dedicated itself to scaling decentralized networks and elevating blockchain technology to new levels of efficiency. By concentrating on the development of next-generation, modular architectures, the company has consistently set new standards for performance, security, and cost-effectiveness in the blockchain space. This commitment has earned the trust of industry giants such as Yuga Labs, Animoca Brands, and Offchain Labs. In December 2022, Horizen Labs announced a strategic move to sharpen its focus by spinning off its Web3 advisory services into a new entity called Horizen Labs Ventures (HLV). This allowed Horizen Labs to double down on developing advanced blockchain solutions for enterprises and governments, leveraging both the Horizen blockchain and SNARK-related technology. The company has been actively involved in significant projects, including the development of ApeCoin, Otherdeeds, and Ape Staking, and has been instrumental in launching Horizen's Cobalt Web Wallet and releasing NFTs and fungible tokens on the TokenMint Platform. With a globally distributed team and offices in locations like Milan, New York City, and Austin, Horizen Labs continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in Web3, driving towards a future where blockchain's use is ubiquitous across various market segments.
