HeliusAbout Helius
Helius is building the core infrastructure for Solana - empowering developers to create the next generation of crypto-powered applications. Our mission is to accelerate the development of internet capital markets by making it easier, faster, and more intuitive to build on-chain.
Thousands of teams - from early-stage startups to industry leaders like Coinbase, Phantom, and Jupiter - rely on Helius APIs, webhooks, and indexing tools to power their products. Backed by Haun Ventures, Founders Fund, and Foundation Capital, we’re a small, senior team obsessed with performance, simplicity, and scalability in decentralized systems.

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.
What You'll Do
Serve as the technical front door for developers using Helius APIs and streaming products
Troubleshoot issues, reproduce bugs, and work with engineering to get fixes shipped
Build code samples, demos, and SDKs that help customers integrate faster
Rewrite and expand documentation, tutorials, and guides based on real-world questions
Automate support workflows using internal tooling, scripts and AI-assisted systems
Collaborate with engineering on feature requests, bug reports, and customer-driven improvements
Live in Discord and Telegram to support developers, gather feedback, and spot new patterns
Partner with enterprise and ecosystem teams to design integrations and optimize performance
Prototype new experimental features alongside engineers and product owners based on customer feedback
What You'll Bring
1-2 years of experience in a technical role (support, engineering, solutions or devrel)
Excitement for the Solana ecosystem, distributed systems, and internet capital markets
Comfort reading and writing code (TypeScript & Rust preferred)
Deep curiosity, bias for action, and ownership
Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially when breaking down complex technical ideas
Passion for helping developers and improving developer experience
Nice to Have
Prior experience in a developer-facing support or solutions role with high volume or real-time community support (Discord, Telegram, forums)
Experience with APIs, SDK design, or open-source contributions
Prior startup experience or work in a small, fast-moving team
