Sr. Technical Recruiter

We are 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 are looking for a world-class recruiter to help us scale thoughtfully across the entire company.

### 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
