Staff Engineer - Dragonfly Portfolio

Location: San Francisco

Department: Portfolio

Location Type: IN_OFFICE

Employment Type: FULL_TIME

Dragonfly is a crypto-native Venture Capital and research firm with $3.6B+ in assets under management and 160+ portfolio companies. Our Talent team connects people with roles across our portfolio, opening the door to opportunities through our Talent Network.

This is an application to join our talent network. This is not a listing for an internal role at Dragonfly.

We're actively sourcing for Staff Engineers across multiple portfolio companies. These are high-ownership, hands-on roles for engineers who want to be close to the code and architecture.

Location: San Francisco (onsite) / some roles are NYC or USA (remote)

What We're Looking For:
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of end-to-end ownership
  • AI-forward mindset, you build with and on top of AI as a core part of your workflow, not an afterthought
  • Full-stack capability with comfort owning architecture, infrastructure, and deployment
  • Experience shipping production systems at scale with real users and real stakes
  • Strong technical instincts, you push for simpler designs, good observability, and strong engineering culture
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and moving fast in early-stage environments

About the Roles:
  • End-to-end ownership across product, infra, and architecture
  • Work directly with founders and small teams, no layers, no bureaucracy
  • Ship fast, iterate, and have a real say in technical direction
  • Build AI-native features, integrations, and systems from the ground up

A note: several of these teams are specifically looking for engineering leaders who want to return to being hands-on individual contributors. If you've been in management and miss building, this is worth a look.

Even if you don't match every point above but are an engineer excited about crypto and/or AI, 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

Submit your information below, and we'll reach out if there's a potential fit.
