About Moonsong Labs

Moonsong Labs is a growing software development company at the intersection of Web3 and AI which includes engineering services and venture studio lines of business. The venture studio focuses on building software projects such as infrastructure, tooling, and protocols targeting devs as the customer. Examples of our work include the project Moonbeam, a blockchain that implements an Ethereum compatible environment and natively supports cross chain use cases, Tanssi, an infrastructure protocol designed to make launching decentralized AVSes easier on Ethereum, and Kluster AI, a decentralized large AI model inference and fine tuning platform.

The Venture Studio team

We believe we are at a significant inflection point in technology where AI and Web3 are both set to disrupt the way we work and interact with one another and we want to position ourselves right at the intersection of these two technologies.

Our Venture Studio team is focused on investigating, researching, designing, and building new solutions to help drive Web3 and Machine learning user adoption and improve scalability, usability, and user experiences with the ultimate aim of launching each product as a stand alone company to add to our growing network of Moonsong Labs portfolio companies.

Your Role

We have a newly created role for a Developer Relations Lead to join the Moonsong Labs Venture Studio team to serve as the bridge between our Venture Studio research and development team and a highly technical customer base. The Developer Relations Lead is a hands-on role within the Venture Studio responsible for understanding developer needs, use cases, and scenarios and bringing that customer driven knowledge back to the Venture Studio R&D team. At the same time, they will be responsible for distilling, explaining, and demonstrating key ideas from new Venture Studio projects to an audience of developers, showing how new ideas from the Venture Studio could be used as solutions to uncovered needs and challenges. Ultimately, the Developer Relations Lead should enable more frequent and earlier developer interaction that will help improve product development, features, and roadmaps. The purpose of this role is to engage with developers to inform and get feedback on Venture Studio projects in the development process, to ensure a good product market fit.

The ideal candidate has experience as a hands-on software engineer with Web3 and AI domain knowledge, experience as a developer relations engineer for a Web3 or AI infrastructure project, experience as a solutions architect that can probe and ask the right questions, or experience defining technical strategies. A hands-on coding and technical background is key for this role, but the role also has a significant outward facing and communication component engaging with developers, and defining technical solutions. The ability to explain complex technical concepts in an easy to understand way is a core requirement for the position through creating content, live demonstrations and presentations, and being the voice of the customer to our core Web3 and AI engineering teams.

You will have the opportunity to shape and develop the developer relations function of a leading company in the Web3 and AI space. We foster a culture of autonomy and taking action so we expect you to bring your ideas, experience, and knowledge to help us create lasting solutions.

This role offers the unique opportunity to join a company that is strategically positioned at the leading edge of the two most important technology trends in the market today. Reach out to us if you are interested in helping to drive a future, where blockchains and AI enable new, software native, and decentralized ways of coordinating and automating economic activity.

Negotiating Your AI Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven itself to be one of the most transformative forces in today’s business world. From smart chatbots in customer service to predictive analytics in finance, AI technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and innovate. As the demand for AI professionals grows, so does the complexity of compensation packages. If you’re a mid‑senior AI professional, you’ve likely seen job offers that include far more than just a base salary—think equity, bonuses, and a range of perks designed to entice you into joining or staying with a company. For many, the focus remains squarely on salary. While that’s understandable—after all, your monthly take‑home pay is what covers day-to-day expenses—limiting your negotiations to salary alone can leave considerable value on the table. From stock options in ambitious startups to sign‑on bonuses that ‘buy you out’ of your current contract, modern AI job offers often include elements that can significantly boost your long-term wealth and job satisfaction. This article aims to shed light on the full scope of AI compensation—specifically focusing on how equity, bonuses, and perks can enhance (or sometimes detract from) the overall value of your package. We’ll delve into how these elements work in practice, what to watch out for, and how to navigate the negotiation process effectively. Our goal is to provide mid‑senior AI professionals with the insights and tools to land a holistic compensation deal that accurately reflects their technical expertise, leadership potential, and strategic importance in this fast-moving field. Whether you’re eyeing a leadership role in machine learning at an established tech giant, or you’re considering a pioneering position at a disruptive AI startup, the knowledge in this guide will help you weigh the merits of base salary alongside the potential riches—and risks—of equity, bonuses, and other benefits. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your compensation with both your immediate lifestyle needs and long-term career aspirations.
