Summary

We are looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to join our team and help shape the future of Midnight’s products and technology. Midnight is a regulatory-friendly, data protection-based blockchain that safeguards sensitive commercial and personal data using zero-knowledge proofs and a privacy-first programming model.

As a Developer Relations Engineer, your primary focus will be building and maintaining example applications that demonstrate Midnight’s unique capabilities. These apps will showcase real-world use cases and serve as valuable learning tools for other developers. You’ll also help create educational materials, offer developer support, and engage with the community to grow and strengthen the ecosystem.

This role blends development, education, and advocacy. You’ll work closely with our DevRel and engineering teams to build usable demos, author helpful content, and support the success of our developer community.

Main Goals

  • Build and maintain example DApps that illustrate how to develop on Midnight
  • Create documentation, tutorials, and walkthroughs for onboarding developers
  • Support developers by answering questions and surfacing pain points
  • Contribute to awareness and engagement across the developer community
  • Help translate community needs into feedback for the product and engineering teams

Responsibilities

  • Development: Build example DApps that highlight Midnight’s use of data protection and ZK proofs. Contribute to open-source tooling and internal dev resources.
  • Advocacy: Support content creation through blog posts, tutorials, or community updates. Join online conversations and help developers navigate common challenges.
  • Developer Support: Be responsive in public channels (Forum, Discord, GitHub) to assist with questions and unblock contributors.
  • Educational Content: Contribute to guides, documentation, or workshops to help developers understand and build on Midnight.
  • Documentation: Ensure example DApps are well-documented and easy to replicate or build upon.

Requirements

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in software development using Solidity, TypeScript, Go, Rust, or similar languages
  • Experience building full-stack apps (demonstration of public GitHub projects)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Previous experience with DevRel, education, or open-source contributions
  • Interest in technical content creation (e.g., tutorials, videos, blog posts)
  • Comfortable engaging in developer communities on platforms like GitHub and Discord
  • Fluency in Spanish and English (written and spoken) is strongly desired

Nice to Have

  • Experience building or supporting projects in Web3 DeFi or blockchain gaming ecosystems
  • Prior contributions to privacy-preserving applications or zero-knowledge proof tooling
  • Familiarity with blockchain development environments like Hardhat, Foundry, Truffle, or similar
  • Comfort with public speaking or community-facing content (workshops, livestreams, video tutorials)
  • Fluency in additional human or programming languages

Benefits

  • Remote work
  • Competitive PTO
  • Medical, Dental & Optical coverage
  • Life Insurance & Critical Illness
  • Pension

View company profile

Founded in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood, IOHK is one of the world's pre-eminent blockchain infrastructure research and engineering companies. We are a fully decentralised remote working organisation committed to the highest principles of academic rigour and evidence-based software development. The company builds high-assurance blockchain infrastructure solutions for public, private sector and government clients. It is also the driving force behind the decentralised and smart contract platform, Cardano.

Cascading disruption

It is the founding principle of IOHK. Cascading disruption is the idea that most of the structures that form the world’s financial, governance and social systems are inherently unstable and thus minor perturbations can cause a ripple effect that fundamentally reconfigures the entire system. Our company is committed to identifying and developing technology to force these perturbations in order to push towards a more fair and transparent order.

The mission of IOHK

We view the world as a series of giant and mostly interconnected social graphs with hundreds of complex systems embedded. Our mission is to perturb the graphs to a more connected, transparent and fair configuration for both the flow of ideas and value.

Input Output the company

IOHK is a truly global organisation with a remote team of 400+ people across 50+ countries. We have a rich culture with people from all over the world offering different skillsets, different cultural perspectives and at different life stages.
