Lead Technical Contributor/Open Source Maintainer
Job Description
Posted on: February 20, 2026
Something big is happening, The way we build things is completely changing. AI is something we are embracing and we are looking for someone lead this change. Telos's future development should be dynamic and fast paced through the power of community/agentic contributions.
The role:
You're the technical leader of Telos' AI driven open source movement. You own the GitHub. You set the standards in contributions. You review others code. You're the person the community comes to when they want to contribute, and the person who decides what's good enough to ship.
Early priorities:
⢠Audit and restructure our GitHub repos, CI/CD, and review process for open contribution at scale
⢠Define the contribution architecture â how code gets from PR to production, for both human and agent contributors
⢠Keep our infrastructure healthy â nodes, RPC, block explorers, the stuff that has to stay up
⢠Start building the contributor community â recruit maintainers, create good-first-issue pipelines, make Telos a project developers actually want to be part of
⢠Establish the AI contribution policy â how we embrace agent-generated code without compromising security
You should be:
⢠Deeply interested in ZK/Privacy/blockchain tech and AI and where they all intersect
⢠Experienced Full Stack Developer (experience quality/understanding more important than number of years)
⢠Already working with AI agents, AI code-development and Openclaw
⢠Deep in EVM and blockchain infrastructure â you can review a protocol change and know what breaks
⢠Broadly experienced with different programming languages/frameworks C++, Rust, javascript, React, Vue etc
⢠Prolific open source native / contributor/ maintainer
⢠Security-conscious by default
⢠Someone who easily gets obsessed with what they are building
About Telos:
Telos is an L1 with a leading EVM. We launched in 2018 with hundreds of early contributors and shipped a world-class EVM in 2021 that still leads the market in performance at 15,000 TPS. Today we're building a privacy layer â because real-world users and businesses need real privacy before they'll actually use blockchains. We're also rethinking how people interact with Telos â making it a chain that works for humans and their AI agents alike.
