Hiring in Web3 & Blockchain

• Protocol & smart contracts

  Solidity engineers · Rust engineers (Solana/Substrate) · Protocol engineers · Cryptography engineers

• Product & app layer

  Wallet engineers · DeFi product managers · Frontend engineers (dApp)

• Security

  Smart-contract auditors · Security researchers · Bug-bounty leads

• Operations & compliance

  Exchange ops · Compliance and financial-crime leads · Treasury managers

• Security discipline

  Smart-contract vulnerabilities are catastrophic. Rubrics capture audit history, formal-verification familiarity and post-mortem ownership.

• Chain and language fluency

  Solidity, Rust, Move, Cairo — each ecosystem is distinct. Rubrics never merge chains in scoring.

• Regulated vs permissionless

  Exchange, custody and stablecoin roles collide with FinTech regulation. Regulatory regime is captured at intake.

• Verifying real on-chain work

  GitHub commit history and testnet contracts are easy to fabricate. We look for deployed mainnet contracts, audit reports and TVL context the candidate can name.

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For web3 & blockchain, these are the signals that carry weight:

• Security-track rubric
• Chain-specific scoring
• Regulatory regime captured

1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
