Part Time Jobs in Web3

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a global non-profit organization dedicated to helping Ethereum become an open, decentralized infrastructure for the world. We allocate resources to critical projects when needed and step back when others can take the lead.

Since 2014, EF has hosted Devcon, an annual 4-day conference which has become the oldest and most prominent event in the Ethereum community (and arguably the entire blockchain space).

Devcon is the gathering for the global Ethereum community to build and use decentralized systems. It's a conference for builders of all kinds, with content ranging from the deeply technical to the profoundly human. Each edition moves to a new region and brings together designers, researchers, students, and creators from around the world, many of whom are intrigued by cutting-edge technology, decentralization, privacy, security, free and open-source software, and the potential for Ethereum to change the world for the better. For a look at past Devcon editions and their speakers, see here: http://archive.devcon.org/

Devcon 8 will take place from November 3-6, 2026, in India, a region with deep technical talent, fast-growing developer communities, and increasing crypto adoption. For more information you can review our website https://devcon.org/en/

As a Production Magician, you’ll be part of our in-house event production team using your local knowledge, local connection, and event production experience to help make Devcon great.

We expect you to be passionate about events, attendee experience, Ethereum values, and energized by working on many different types of tasks.

This role would encompass many different aspects of event production, assisting with overseeing and managing vendors (venue, AV, ticketing, translation, main event production company, catering, internet, cleaning, security and design among others), facilitating collaboration between vendors whenever possible, managing volunteers, organizing logistics, speaker relationships and having good communication. As a Production Magician, you will need to be familiarized with the broader Devcon Team, which will be focused on all non-production aspects of the event including general operations, ticketing, website, programming, communications, sponsorships, etc.

• Effective while working under pressure with hard deadlines and unknown issues that are ever-present in event planning.

• Proactively troubleshoot problems blocking your path, and the problems blocking the paths of others.

• Have great people and communication skills.

• Have an ownership mentality. When you take on a task, you get it done well and on time.

Logistics & Availability
