* Oversee and enhance the documentation portal, working closely with the R&D team to ensure up-to-date, clear, and accessible resources.
* Develop partnerships with key industry stakeholders to expand the reach and adoption of IOTA’s technology.
* Analyze developer engagement metrics to measure the impact of enablement initiatives and adjust strategies accordingly.
* Represent IOTA at industry conferences, meetups, and community events, building strong relationships within the developer ecosystem.

## Skills & Qualifications

* Strong background in developer education with experience creating and maintaining guides, tutorials, and onboarding resources.
* Extensive experience managing development platforms, with a particular focus on smart contracts and decentralized applications.
* A solid understanding of smart contract development.

* Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and concisely for both technical and non-technical audiences.
* Willingness to travel for conferences, meetups, and hackathons to engage directly with the builder community.

## **Nice-to-have**
