Volunteer position: Logos Circles Technical Steward

Circles initiative

Logos Circles are self-organised groups that take action to solve issues that matter locally. They are a form of parallel governance: instead of reforming broken or rigged institutions, they build better ones that live on or are sustained by the network. Circles respond to local needs, build trust on the ground through solving problems, and experiment with real-world applications of Logos tech and values.

Upcoming circles near you.

We are looking for Technical Steward Volunteers who are passionate about the use of Blockchain and privacy-preserving technology to provide alternate forms of governance that support local communities.

• Co-Steward meetups, introduce Logos, and help guide the group on anything technical; development needs, leveraging existing OS resources etc.
• Help onboard Circle members to Logos, e.g. running a Logos node, or connecting builders with relevant Logos team members to support integrations
• Create space for others to contribute, grow, and take ownership over time.
• Project manage the delivery of any technical elements related to winnable issues
• Spread the Logos love
• Coordinate with core contributors from Logos

We will commit to

• Provide training and support on how circles are organised
• Have a dedicated “buddy” from our internal contributors who will be your POC
