Job description

Why us?

Hyperliquid showed that having a purpose-built blockchain tailored to a specific use case is key to success.

In theory, rollups should be the simplest way to build and operate purpose-built blockchains. Yet existing frameworks are too restrictive and overly focused on the EVM—limiting developers' ability to build unique solutions.

Sovereign changes that, so teams can build exactly what they need—quickly. Using Sovereign SDK, multiple teams (Bullet, Termina) have already developed cutting-edge rollups in record time, slashing development overhead by 10x and shrinking time to market from years to days.

Why now?

We’re at an inflection point. We’ve worked very closely with an early cohort of customers for more than 2 years to bring Sovereign SDK to market. And now we're finally ready. It's time to ramp up sales and make the market aware that there’s a better way to build blockchain-based applications.

What you’ll do

1. Identify and engage potential partners across the blockchain ecosystem
2. Drive lead generation and manage the sales pipeline end-to-end
3. Participate in sales calls and negotiations, reporting directly to the CEO
4. Conduct market research on emerging blockchain submarkets where Sovereign SDK can add value
5. Collaborate with internal teams to refine product offerings and position
6. Work with the co-founder from the premiere co-working space in Williamsburg, The Brass Factory.

Requirements

1. Minimum 2 years of active engagement with Crypto Twitter or equivalent crypto-native experience
2. Proven technical sales background, preferably in the blockchain industry
3. Deep understanding of existing blockchain and rollup infrastructure solutions and current market trends
4. Comfortable in fast-paced environments, setting ambitious goals, and closing enterprise-grade deals
5. Organized, proactive approach to managing time and priorities
6. Experience using CRM tools to track leads and opportunities

The starting salary for this role is between $120,000-$180,000/year. Your exact offer will vary based on a number of factors including experience level and skillset.
