About the Role
The Ethereum Foundation is hiring for a Founder Success Operations role to help design, run, and improve how we support early-stage founders building on Ethereum.
The Founder Success team is responsible for identifying and nurturing net-new innovation and founder talent across the Ethereum ecosystem, and for supporting founders through the earliest and most uncertain stages of building. This role helps ensure that founder support balances hands-on, founder-specific work where it matters most with more structured programs and partnerships that allow us to support many teams well, all aligned with Ethereumâs long-term values.
In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining and improving the operational backbone of Founder Success, including systems, programs, and workflows, while staying closely connected to founders, partners, and internal EF teams. This is a high-autonomy individual contributor role with meaningful responsibility and long-term impact.
