- Proven track record of building and shipping crypto-native systems—whether protocols, infra, or full-stack products
- Deep expertise in system design, distributed systems, and production-grade architecture
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading cross-functional technical initiatives
- Strong comfort operating in high-ambiguity, fast-paced startup environments
- Bonus: contributed to open-source crypto projects or participated in core protocol engineering
About the Role(s):
Depending on the team, you could be:
- Leading architecture and implementation of a new L1/L2, on-chain product, or zero-knowledge protocol
- Building developer platforms, staking infra, or MEV-aware systems at scale
- Driving technical strategy and roadmap for teams shipping complex crypto systems
- Mentoring engineers and establishing an engineering culture at the earliest stages
- Working directly with founders and research teams to push forward novel mechanisms or primitives
Even if you don’t match every point above but are a Staff-level engineer with real crypto experience, we encourage you to apply. There may be other opportunities that fit your skill set.
Process:
- We’ll confidentially match you with portfolio companies aligned with your background, skill set, and interests.
- If mutual interest exists between you and a team, we’ll facilitate a warm introduction.
- If there isn’t a match today, we’ll keep you top of mind for future opportunities.
- All candidate submissions are strictly confidential.
Our portfolio companies are globally distributed and hire for remote, hybrid, and in-person roles worldwide. They’re building across the entire crypto ecosystem, including DeFi, CeFi, infrastructure, L1s and L2s, creator/consumer applications, NFTs, ZK, Crypto x AI, and more.
