• Track and analyze recruiting metrics to improve funnel efficiency and quality of hires.

What we are looking for:

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably in high-growth tech or crypto/Web3 environments.
• Proven success in hiring for both technical (engineering, product) and non-technical (GTM, operations, leadership) roles.
• Deep understanding of sourcing strategies and familiarity with tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS (e.g., Ashby or similar), and other sourcing platforms.
• Strong ability to build relationships with hiring managers, influence decisions, and act as a talent advisor.
• Track record of building or refining scalable recruiting processes.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, remote-first startup and handle ambiguity with grace.
• Passion for Web3, crypto, and decentralized technologies or a curiosity to learn.
• Excellent communication, project management, and organizational skills.

Perks & Benefits:

• Competitive salary, performance-based incentives, and token allocation grant
• Flexible paid time off policy (unlimited)
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans
• 4 weeks work from anywhere
• Opportunity to work with a Top 4 Ethereum protocol, by TVL
• Opportunities for professional development and growth within the organization, expanding beyond just recruitment
• Collaborative and inclusive work culture
• Exposure to cutting-edge technologies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space
• Global team with opportunity for travel and working out of our 3 offices around the world
