One layer, or the whole stack.

From protocol engineers to the founding team, we hire every layer of a crypto-native company.

  1. 01

    Protocol & core engineering

    Rust, Solidity and distributed systems engineers with work shipped on-chain. Bare metal.

  2. 02

    Full-stack & frontend

    The engineers who put it in front of users, from the API to the last pixel.

  3. 03

    Product & design

    Product leads and designers who've shipped interfaces people actually use. Qualified on the product.

  4. 04

    Growth, BD & marketing

    Operators who understand token launches, ecosystem partnerships and how communities compound.

  5. 05

    Founding team & C-level

    The hires a company gets shaped around. Confidential, run with the founder start to close.

A disciplined process,
built for crypto.

The same four steps for every search, whoever the hire is.

  1. Outreach

    We go directly to people already shipping relevant work.

  2. The real conversation

    We talk to every potential hire ourselves and qualify them before they reach you.

  3. One standard, every hire

    First CTO or fiftieth engineer, junior or senior: the process doesn't change.

  4. After

    Whether it closes or not, we stay in the relationship for what's next.
