About the role

We are seeking a Director of Open Source & Open Developer Platform to help lead the strategy, execution, and growth of EAI Brain's open source ecosystem and developer platform.
Reporting directly to the Head of the department, this role will co-own the development of the EAI Brain SDK, APIs, developer tools, Skill Store ecosystem, and open source initiatives, while driving cross-functional collaboration across Engineering, Product, Operations, Legal, and Platform teams.
This is a high-impact leadership role at the forefront of embodied AI and intelligent robotics, offering the opportunity to help build a next-generation developer ecosystem and open platform from the ground up.

Support the strategy and execution of the EAI Brain open source program and developer ecosystem.
Manage open source governance, GitHub operations, developer engagement, and community growth initiatives.
Lead the roadmap and management of the EAI Brain SDK, APIs, developer tools, and developer portal.

Support the development and operation of the Skill Store ecosystem, including developer onboarding, Skill submission workflows, certification standards, and platform operations.
Drive platform usability, developer experience, and ecosystem scalability.
Collaborate with Operations, Legal, and Compliance teams to establish platform governance, security standards, monetization models, and developer policies.
Support ecosystem growth initiatives, developer incentive programs, and platform business strategy.

Background in robotics, autonomous systems, or embodied AI - e.g., ROS/ROS2,
simulation environments, motion planning, sensor fusion, or robot middleware.
Experience with AI/ML developer tooling: LLM inference APIs, model fine-tuning platforms,
multi-model orchestration, or AI agent frameworks.
Familiarity with the ROS/ROS2 ecosystem, NVIDIA Isaac, or other robotics middleware -
and a clear perspective on how EAI Brain differentiates against or coexists with these platforms.
Familiarity with Web3 and on-chain infrastructure relevant to skill monetization (smart
contracts, token-based incentive systems, ZKP privacy layers) - advantageous given the roadmap.
