What We Value Most
Hunger — Curiosity and Drive
-
You stay curious about AI, Web3, emerging technologies, and new business domains, and can learn unfamiliar areas quickly.
-
You do not wait for instructions when facing a problem; you proactively understand the context, identify solutions, and drive execution.
-
You go beyond completing assigned tasks and continue to ask about outcomes, user value, and opportunities for improvement.
Cognition — Cognitive Ability and Judgment

You can quickly understand complex technical and business problems, build a structured mental model, and identify the core issue and key trade-offs.

When information is incomplete or the situation is uncertain, you can form sound judgments based on facts and logical reasoning.
-
You can compare the value, cost, risk, and long-term impact of different options, clearly explain your rationale, and turn decisions into executable plans and results.

-
A strong sense of ownership and accountability, with the ability to drive initiatives through to measurable outcomes.
-
Open, direct, and effective communication, with a willingness to solve problems across teams.
-
Strong learning ability and growth potential. We value solid engineering fundamentals, but do not use mastery of one specific framework or middleware stack as the sole hiring criterion.

Familiarity with one or more blockchain technology models, such as EVM, UTXO, or Move.

Demonstrated technical judgment, business impact, or zero-to-one ownership in previous projects.
The Kind of Candidate We Hope to Meet
-
You can clearly explain the most complex problem you have solved, how you formed your judgment, and how you drove the solution to completion.
-
You have one or more clear strengths. We do not expect experience in every area, but we value meaningful depth or exceptional potential in at least one direction.
-
You are willing to understand users and business context instead of passively receiving requirements.
