About the company
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Ethereum and related technologies. The EF is not a company, or even a traditional non-profit. We do not control Ethereum, nor are we the only organization that funds critical development of Ethereum-related technologies. We are part of a large ecosystem of organizations, individuals, and companies that support Ethereum. Our mission is to do what is best for Ethereum’s long-term success. Our role is to allocate resources to critical projects, to be a valued voice within the Ethereum ecosystem, and to advocate for Ethereum to the outside world. Since 2014, EF has hosted Devcon, an annual 4-day conference which has become the oldest and most prominent event in the Ethereum community (and arguably the entire blockchain space). The event attracts developers, designers, researchers, creators, and others — many of whom are intrigued by cutting-edge technology, decentralization, privacy/security, free and open-source software, and the potential for Ethereum to change the world for the better. For a look at past Devcon editions and their speakers, see here: http://archive.devcon.org/. Devcon 7 (aka Devcon Southeast Asia) will take place this year in Bangkok between the dates of 12-15 November.
Job Summary
About the Role
📍The EF builds and funds developer tooling at all levels of the stack, from languages and compilers to libraries to interact with the chain. As Developer Tooling Coordinator, you will help drive strategic technical decisions that shape Ethereum's developer ecosystem. This is a technical leadership role that blends hands-on development expertise with strategic planning and resource coordination. 📍You'll help tackle critical strategic questions that require deep technical expertise, including: What should our strategy be around language support? How do we balance supporting legacy projects vs. newer promising experiments? What tools should the EF develop internally vs. rely on others? How should AI-assisted development reshape our tooling priorities and what new developer experiences should we enable? 📍This role requires someone who can spot emerging trends, contribute to opinionated technical decisions based on leading indicators, and work collaboratively across teams—from diving deep into specific codebases to coordinating with EF leadership on grants and broader support strategy.
Requirements
📍To excel in this role, you should have extensive hands-on experience building on Ethereum—whether smart contracts, dApps, infrastructure, or developer tools—and strong, well-informed opinions about how the ecosystem should evolve. 📍Ideal candidates have worked across multiple layers: smart contract development (Solidity/Vyper), client libraries (ethers.js, web3.py, etc.), infrastructure tooling (testing frameworks, deployment tools), or protocol-level work. You should understand the pain points developers face because you've felt them yourself. 📍We're looking for someone who can seamlessly move between strategic discussions and diving deep into codebases. You should be comfortable reviewing implementations, contributing code, and helping make technical architecture decisions based on both quantitative metrics and technical intuition.
