U.S.
Remote
$190,000 – $210,000 per year

TLDR

This role combines recruiting for technical and business-critical positions, shaping talent and culture at the frontier of the crypto industry.

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. What You’ll Do

  • 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

    • Who You Are

  • 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

    • Nice to Have

  • 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

    • Benefits

  • 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

  • Weekly meal voucher
