The Opportunity
We’re building at the frontier of crypto—where high-performance systems, distributed infrastructure, and exceptional people come together. Our team spans protocol, infrastructure, product, and business functions, and we’re looking for a world-class recruiter to help us scale thoughtfully across the entire company.
The Role
We’re hiring a Sr. Technical Recruiter to lead full-cycle hiring across engineering and beyond!
This is a highly strategic, high-impact role. You won’t just fill roles—you’ll help shape the company. From deeply technical engineers to business-critical hires, you’ll be responsible for identifying, engaging, and closing exceptional talent across all domains.
Own end-to-end recruiting across a wide range of roles
Partner with founders and functional leaders to define hiring strategy, org design, and headcount planning
Build high-quality pipelines for both niche technical roles and business-critical positions
Develop creative sourcing strategies to engage passive, high-caliber candidates across multiple disciplines
Act as a trusted advisor on talent market dynamics, leveling, and compensation
Drive a best-in-class candidate experience—from first touch through close
Establish scalable recruiting processes, tools, and best practice
5-10 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a mix of technical and non-technical hiring including global hiring across multiple regions and markets
Proven ability to hire across the stack and across functions (Rust engineers to BD leads)
Strong understanding of technical roles (systems, infra, backend) with the ability to assess talent depth
Equally comfortable hiring for business roles
Exceptional sourcing skills—especially for passive and hard-to-reach candidates
Strong closer with a track record of landing high-caliber, competitive talent
High ownership and autonomy—you operate like a builder, not a coordinator
Excellent judgment and instincts for talent, culture, and long-term fit
Experience in high-growth startups or zero-to-one environments
Experience recruiting in crypto, blockchain, or adjacent technical domains
Familiarity with highly technical profiles (e.g., Rust, C++, distributed systems, cryptography)
Experience building recruiting infrastructure or being the first/early recruiting hire
Existing network across both engineering and business talent pools
Above market compensation and multiple forms of equity
100% of employee health benefits covered by employer
All-expenses-paid team retreats and conferences
Generous PTO
