Introduction

Somnia is seeking a Demo Engineer to create compelling demonstrations for their hyper-performance L1, the Agentic Chain. This hands-on role involves transforming DeFi mechanics and agentic workflows into working prototypes, live demos, and visual content to inspire developers and users.

Responsibilities

• Build demo dApps showcasing Somnia's speed, cost, and execution (e.g., real-time trading interfaces, on-chain games, agent-powered apps).
• Create trading bot demos highlighting Somnia's execution, on-chain order books, and agentic workflows.
• Prototype agentic apps, including autonomous agents coordinating on-chain, prediction market resolvers, and agent-to-agent interactions.
• Independently ideate, monitor the ecosystem, spot trends, and propose demos that position Somnia as a leader.
• Collaborate with DevRel, Marketing, and BD to align demos with Go-To-Market priorities and partnership opportunities.

Requirements

• Solid Solidity and EVM development experience (writing, deploying, and interacting with smart contracts).
• Ability to build frontend interfaces for demos (framework of your choice).
• Strong self-direction – able to generate ideas, not just execute them.
• Comfort with rapid prototyping; capable of shipping a rough demo in days.
• Heavy use of AI tools as a core part of your development workflow.
• Good instincts for what makes a demo compelling.
• Clear written and verbal communication.

Nice to Have

• Experience producing video walkthroughs and live coding sessions.
• Ability to create reusable starter kits and templates.
• Experience with CLOB/orderbook-based DEXs or trading systems.
• Strong design skills for presenting demos.
• Familiarity with AI agent frameworks or autonomous agent design.
• Video production or live streaming experience.
• Previous DevRel, hackathon, or developer education work.
• Understanding of DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending, stablecoins, yield).

Benefits

• Work remotely with a global team.
• Competitive compensation with token incentives.
• Opportunity to influence a brand targeting a substantial launch budget.
