Helius is a leading developer platform on the Solana blockchain, powering applications for customers like Coinbase, Jupiter, and Phantom. The company has raised $34M from top-tier investors including Coinbase, Haun Ventures, Founders Fund, and Solana co-founders.
As a Developer Advocate for the Data Platform, you will increase productivity and adoption of Helius products (LaserStream, RPC, webhooks, APIs) through technical marketing and developer education. You'll be part of a new Developer Relations team focused on the data platform.
Key responsibilities:
- Write code tutorials and technical deep dives on building with Solana data
- Build demo applications, starter repos, and SDK examples across LaserStream, RPC, webhooks, and APIs
- Create videos and tutorials, working with designers for higher production value
- Be active in developer communities (Discord, Telegram, X, GitHub) answering questions and unblocking developers
- Attend hackathons and conferences to run workshops, judge projects, and help builders in person
- Gather developer feedback and communicate product updates to the community
- Collaborate with ecosystem partners including protocols, tooling teams, and educators
- Track metrics on content reach, demo adoption, developer activation, and community growth
- Own developer-facing communications for the data platform, including customer outreach and product announcements
You'll be one of the public faces of Helius, expected to find where developers get stuck and self-direct what to build rather than follow a predetermined content calendar. The role combines hands-on technical work with community engagement and content creation across multiple formats.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 2+ years of professional experience at a technology-first company, ideally in developer tooling or infrastructure
- Hands-on engineering experience; comfortable writing code and relating to engineers
- Excellent technical writing and oral communication skills; ability to explain complex problems clearly
- Ability to produce across formats: written tutorials, demo apps, SDKs, video
- Portfolio demonstrating prior work: tutorials, videos, repos, talks, or technical threads
- Community-oriented with active presence on Discord, Telegram, and X; personal network and brand in developer communities
- Willingness to travel for hackathons and conferences globally
- Extreme agency and self-direction; ability to identify problems and propose solutions independently
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience building on Solana or knowledge of its data model (accounts, transactions, RPC, onchain data at scale)
- Prior developer advocacy or technical content work at infrastructure or devtools companies
- Existing audience in Solana or broader crypto developer community
- Experience with real-time data systems (streaming, WebSockets at scale, gRPC)
- Open source contributions to Solana tooling
