We’re =nil; Foundation. We treat blockchains as distributed databases and build tools that allow working with them like regular databases, with all the convenience and trust. In a world where just anything is trustless by itself (aka zero-knowledge, zk), we build tools that make things provable and trustworthy. In particular, we make:

• DBMS that works over blockchains and provides a developer-friendly interface.
• Proof system and a cryptography library for making transactions cryptographically provable.
• Compiler that makes code in C++ and Rust compatible with this proof system and enables building provable applications.
• Market for the computation of zero-knowledge proofs.

The success of our business relies on the wide adoption of our technologies. This is where the Developer Relations team comes on stage.

The purpose of the Developer Relations team at =nil; is to make engineers’ life at work better. We do it by building the community, communicating with it about our technology, and returning feedback to our team. We also support our researchers and developers in all things related to technical communications and knowledge sharing.

As a Technical Writer, you will be engaged in writing, structuring, improving, and supporting the technical documentation for our products. You will write for software developers and cryptography researchers, who constitute our developer community and work in partner companies. Most of this documentation will be open source, just like our products. You will also help our engineers write better internal documentation by reviewing it and, sometimes, teaching people to write well.

A good candidate for this position:

• Has experience writing documentation for software developers, specifically documenting programming languages, compilers, communication protocols, databases, and algorithms.
  • Experience in Web3 is nice to have, but not a strict requirement.
  • Background in software development, such as higher education and/or work experience, is a big benefit.
• Has English C2 (proficiency) or is a native speaker.

To apply for this position, send your CV and a link to your portfolio to [email protected]. If you have contributed to open-source software, including documentation, or given talks at meetups/conferences, please include links to your work.
