THE WORK:
Ripple is a crypto solutions company transforming how the world moves, manages, and tokenizes value. Through RippleX, we support and champion an open community of developers on XRP Ledger (XRPL), so they can advance the solutions and innovation needed to allow businesses, consumers, institutions, and governments to fuel the engine of a new digital economy.
As a Developer Advocate for Ripple, your job is to stay on the cusp of the newest developments in the XRPL ecosystem and in the overall web3 / blockchain world as a whole. You will use that knowledge to develop and lead initiatives to engage, support, enable, and grow the global developer community around the XRPL - primarily focusing on engaging developer communities in South Korea and Japan.
This is a technical role, and we are looking for an individual who has a developer background, proficiency in Python or Javascript programming, and experience working with developer communities and ecosystems. An ideal candidate would be passionate about blockchain technology, have an eye for disruptive innovation, and enjoy working with the startup ecosystem to help shape our programs.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Develop and facilitate technical workshops, group learning sessions, and other technical content and modules to accelerate XRPL integration
- Be the voice, eyes, ears, and face of the XRPL community by speaking with, observing, listening to, and engaging developers directly all over the world
- Work with internal teams across product, engineering, data, and growth to build strong bi-directional feedback loops and influence roadmaps
- Speak at conferences, meetups, and events about the XRPL, use cases, projects, and upcoming products and features
- Inspire third-party developers with ideas for integrating XRPL tools and services within their apps and businesses
- Participate in, mentor, and judge hackathons
- Contribute content, documentation, and insights that support a world-class developer experience
- Build strong relationships with the growing community of XRP developers by using engagement strategies and tactics that you help to form, initialize, and implement
- Measure your success by tracking engagement metrics, and working with stakeholders to improve the developer experience across the platform
