Communications Lead

Our Organization

Flashbots started in 2020 as a research and development organization formed to mitigate the negative externalities and existential risks posed by Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) to smart-contract blockchains, starting with Ethereum.

We build decentralized products to maximally decentralize public blockchains and empower users.

About the position:

Leading all strategic communications and PR strategies, you’ll be a detail-orientated crypto-native communications lead with exceptional research skills who can share our story in a way that accurately reflects our values.
