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.
