About Binary Builders

Binary Builders is an innovative blockchain technology company that focuses on building software for the Interchain future. We maintain the Cosmos SDK and the Interchain Builders Program and also our chain data analytics platform Numia. Headquartered in Switzerland, we are a distributed team that works in CET timezone with about half of us operating out of Berlin, Germany. We make sure to have regular catch-ups, whether asynchronous, or in-person through our company retreats or the various blockchain events out there. We value building world-class software while having fun along the way.

The Interchain Builders Program

The Builders Program is an accelerator program for Web3 founders looking to build a dApp or layer 1 chain using the Cosmos stack. Fully funded by the Interchain Foundation, we aim to support about ~15 projects on a quarterly basis. Most of the work entails directly helping teams on topics like fundraising, token economics, go to market, incorporation, as well as more developer focussed support like validator bootstrapping and technical advice. We’re also building out our Knowledge Hub which is filled with useful information for founders.

We’re currently a team of 3 people with support from plenty of experts, both internally and externally. In order to scale the program and provide more content for founders, we’re looking for someone with a broad skill set to join our team. Ideally you have experience in marketing strategies and / or token economic design and you enjoy doing research and writing up findings and insights in the form of articles as well.

Scope of work:

• Be the main point of contact for multiple participants in the program
  • Tackle any questions they might have, finding answers within our network or through research
  • Have regular calls with participants about marketing, token economics, product messaging and more
  • Make introductions to our people and teams in our network
• Knowledge Hub
  • Research effective marketing techniques around product launches in Web3
  • Write articles on the best practices around go-to-market strategies
  • Work closely with the Numia team on collecting on-chain data around token design impacts
  • Write research articles on token economics and new trends
  • Write blog posts targeting Web3 founders
• Establish and maintain partnerships with (decentralized) exchanges, influencers, VCs, validators and others, to expand our ecosystem network
• Contribute to the long term strategic planning of the program

Over time, the scope of work might change as the program matures and the role shifts more towards either research or supporting a larger group of participants. We offer a lot of flexibility and we’d love to hear from you what you think this role could potentially look like in the future.

Requirements:

There are no hard requirements on previous experience, but ideally you have several of the following:

• 3+ years of experience working in the blockchain industry
• An established network in the Web3 space and the ability to easily create long lasting relationships in the space, preferably the Cosmos ecosystem
• An ability to cut the wheat from the chaff and identify talented teams amongst a large group of applicants
• Experience with developing and executing go to market strategies for early stage companies as well as developing general marketing processes.
• A familiarity with the various token economic designs in the space and a drive to identify trends and patterns through data analysis
• A love for writing and sharing research articles for the public good
• Strong business and operational acumen, as well as key problem-solving abilities
• Ability to work alone, to be proactive, to prioritize, to communicate, and to operate in a small group
• Top-notch communications skills, clear written prose, and a knack for getting to core of things as soon as possible
• An appropriate taste for simplicity and an ability to balance pragmatism with ideal solutions
• A home base within our working timezones, somewhere between UTC - 5 (New York) to UTC + 3 (Moscow), and the ability to travel to Germany at least occasionally (post-COVID)
