ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Solutions Engineer who thrives on being the go-to technical resource for developers building on Solana. You'll own the customer support experience — answering hard questions in real time, unblocking integrations, and turning recurring pain points into better products, docs, and tooling. This is a hybrid role: part technical support, part solutions engineering, and part internal engineering partner. You'll be embedded in our developer community day-to-day, spotting patterns in what customers need and shipping code, demos, and automation that raise the bar for the entire Helius developer experience. We move quickly and bias toward ownership. If you're energized by helping developers succeed — and by the distributed systems and crypto infrastructure powering that work — you'll thrive here.
