Technical Ecosystem Lead - Nervos Network

The Nervos Foundation is a small but dedicated team focused on bootstrapping the ecosystem of the Common Knowledge Base (CKB). CKB is a Bitcoin-inspired blockchain designed to elevate the industry's programmability, built on RISC-V and secured by Proof-of-Work. It stands as one of the most flexible and interoperable blockchain systems in production today. We are a team of builders and dreamers, deeply passionate about the potential of this industry. Committed to the long term, we seek like-minded contributors to join our mission.

Introduction

We are seeking a Technical Ecosystem Lead to play a pivotal role in shaping the world's understanding and engagement with the Nervos CKB. This position bridges technology and market, working closely with researchers, engineers, and ecosystem contributors to translate technical advancements into clear narratives, foster meaningful developer engagement, and drive effective ecosystem initiatives. Beyond promotion, this role focuses on building understanding, cultivating relationships, and establishing long-term credibility within the Nervos CKB and broader Web3 communities. We are looking for a genuine cypherpunk with a low time preference, a deep understanding of the industry's historical evolution, and a commitment to decentralization, openness, and permissionlessness.

Responsibilities

• Shape and evolve Nervos' core positioning, branding, and overarching narrative.
• Act as the primary interface between technical teams and the public, translating complex research into precise and compelling narratives.
• Cultivate a deep understanding of social platform dynamics to create content that builds genuine affinity and long-term conviction around CKB.
• Strategically utilize high-engagement formats (memes, cultural commentary, viral threads) to capture attention and direct it towards CKB’s value proposition.
• Design and execute growth strategies to expand brand visibility, accelerate developer onboarding, and deepen community participation.
• Continuously monitor social channels and the Nervos Talk forum to identify communication bottlenecks and implement structured solutions.
• Proactively identify and develop high-leverage collaborations with complementary external projects to increase relevance and visibility.
• Support public relations efforts by anticipating narrative risks, developing mitigation strategies, coordinating announcements, shaping key messaging, and contributing to broader PR initiatives such as media outreach, thought leadership placements, partnership communications, and crisis response planning.
• Support hackathons, grants, community programs, and partner collaborations to grow the developer ecosystem.

Requirements

• Proven experience in Web3/crypto marketing, ecosystem growth, DevRel, research communications, or similar roles within a technically sophisticated blockchain environment.
• Demonstrated ability to deeply understand complex protocol-level concepts (consensus, VM design, cryptography, tokenomics) and translate them into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong strategic judgment combined with high-agency execution; capable of setting direction and independently delivering high-quality work.
• Experience operating in early-stage or frontier environments, comfortable navigating ambiguity and building initiatives from conception.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across research, engineering, ecosystem, and leadership teams.
• Native fluency in crypto culture and online discourse, with an instinct for positioning, narrative framing, and attention dynamics.
• Genuine interest in Bitcoin, Proof-of-Work systems, Layer 1 infrastructure, and open-source ethos.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Nervos/CKB architecture.
• Experience with UTXO-based blockchains.
• Knowledge of RISC-V or modular blockchain design.

Benefits

• Opportunity to shape the global narrative of a unique Bitcoin-aligned infrastructure.
• High autonomy within a research-driven, long-term oriented organization.
• Remote-first collaboration with an international team.
• Deep involvement in the open-source and developer ecosystem.
