The Sui Foundation exists to support the development, growth and adoption of the Sui network. Sui is the first permissionless Layer 1 blockchain designed from the ground up to enable creators and developers to build unique Web3 experiences from gaming to finance.

The Sui Foundation is committed to three decentralization principles; Embrace transparency and level the playing field, Communicate openly to build a culture of trust, and Engage directly with the community.

Mission:

Onboard the next billion users to web3 by supporting the advancement and global adoption of the Sui blockchain.

Vision:
To create a better world that unlocks opportunities through universal access and individual ownership.

The Role:

The Developer Relations team engages with the developer community online and in person to provide expert help and guidance in building next-generation Web3 applications on Sui. By talking to the community and understanding developer pain points, the team creates a rapid and positive feedback loop between the developer community and the protocol.

As an engineer on the Developer Relations team, you will have or develop a technical understanding of the Sui protocol as well as a proficiency in writing Sui Move. You will have or develop an understanding of the Sui ecosystem by using developer tooling and testing apps. You will use your newly-developed knowledge to collaborate and connect with developers, enabling them to build and innovate on Sui.

You will use your excellent communication skills to explain complex concepts to a wide variety of audiences, such as Web2 developers and Solidity developers, and through a variety of mediums, including documentation, tutorials and workshops.

As an experienced engineer, you will be able to operate on your initiative, prioritize work streams based on impact, and manage cross-functional teams.

This role is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys high-impact, complex, and multi-disciplinary programs. Experience of Move (or Rust) is a positive that will enable the role to be picked up quickly, but fast learners are also welcome!

Responsibilities:

• Understand the community's goals, and provide technical expertise and direction to help the developers navigate their journey of building on Sui.

• Create and own the feedback loop between the community and the network.

• Translate developer feedback into meaningful product insights for future product development.
