Job description

• Location: TX Austin US


• Sector: CryptoPerp


• Source: web3.career

Axiom is building the platform that lets anyone trade any asset.

We already process $100M+ in daily volume, serve 40k+ daily users, and operate at a 9-figure run rate. The product is live, growing fast, and moving real volume.

We’re looking for a hungry, reliable, Austin-based BD / Sales person to help us find opportunities, build relationships, and close deals.

What You’ll Do

This is a classic sales and business development role in a crypto-native environment.

You’ll work on:

• Finding and qualifying new leads (high volume traders)


• Building relationships with partners, communities, projects, and potential customers


• Running outbound across email, Telegram, X, Discord, LinkedIn, and other channels


• Understanding the crypto ecosystem and identifying high-value opportunities


• Helping close partnerships, integrations, campaigns, and growth deals


• Tracking conversations, follow-ups, and pipeline clearly


• Working with the founders and BD team to turn market feedback into action

You do not need to be a crypto expert on day one, but you should be curious, fast-learning, and willing to get deep into the space.

What We’re Looking For

We care most about work ethic, loyalty, communication, and follow-through.

You’re probably a strong fit if you:

• Are based in Austin, TX or willing to relocate


• Are hardworking, dependable, and team-first


• Communicate clearly and professionally


• Are comfortable reaching out to strangers and building relationships online


• Can follow up consistently without being reminded


• Are organized and can manage a pipeline


• Learn quickly and take feedback well


• Have strong judgment and represent the company well


• Are interested in crypto, trading, startups, or online communities

Sales, marketing, partnerships, community, recruiting, or founder/operator experience is a plus.

Crypto knowledge is preferred, but not required if you are sharp, curious, and willing to learn quickly.

Nice to Have

• Experience in crypto, DeFi, trading, fintech, or startups


• Existing crypto network or familiarity with crypto Twitter / Telegram / Discord


• Experience with outbound sales, partnerships, affiliate programs, or community growth


• Strong writing ability


• High social awareness and good relationship-building instincts

How We Work

We move fast, communicate directly, and expect people to take ownership.

This role is not about waiting for instructions. We want someone who can find opportunities, follow up aggressively, and create momentum.

We value:

• High ownership


• Clear communication


• Strong follow-through


• Low ego


• Loyalty to the team


• Trust over micromanagement

We care about results, judgment, and consistency — not fake busyness.

We pay well for exceptional people.

Compensation can include:

• Competitive base salary (65k to 80k)


• Performance-based upside


• Relocation support


• Daily meals / Uber Eats support


• High-end equipment


• Flexible PTO


• Direct access to the founding team

We do not have a rigid PTO policy. Take time off when you need it, communicate clearly, and own your commitments.

Interview Process

• Interview


• Offer

You’ll Enjoy This Role If

• You like talking to people and building relationships


• You are persistent without being annoying


• You enjoy figuring out who matters in a market


• You want to learn crypto quickly


• You like working close to founders


• You want your work to directly impact company growth


• You want to be trusted with real responsibility

If you want a slow corporate sales job, this probably is not it.

If you want to learn fast, build relationships in crypto, and help grow a company already operating at serious scale, we’d love to talk.
