We’re an early-stage consumer crypto startup (small, single-digit team) founded by repeat founders with a prior successful exit and institutional backers. We’re building a novel consumer market that blends predictive mechanics with attention-driven incentives and leverages capabilities only crypto-native systems can enable. We move fast, and every hire will shape product, culture, and technical direction.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• End-to-end responsibility for the engineering organization: recruit, hire, onboard, manage, and scale the team.
• Ship production code daily. This is a maker/manager role, not a meeting-heavy position.
• Define and drive engineering objectives, roadmaps, and delivery cadence with quality metrics.
• Make architecture-level decisions across our stack: Go, Rust, TypeScript, Next.js, React Native.
• Partner directly with the founding team to translate product strategy into technical execution.
• Establish engineering standards, processes, and practices that enable fast, safe shipping.

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Proven experience hiring, managing, and scaling engineering teams at early-stage startups.
• Deep familiarity with crypto/Web3 concepts such as prediction markets, token dynamics, wallets, and on-chain mechanics. 
• Strong hands on coding skills; you ship reliable production systems.
• Solid technical fluency with Go or Rust, TypeScript and web/mobile frameworks (Next.js, React Native).
• Track record of owning objectives and delivering results on schedule.
• Excellent written and asynchronous communicator who can align stakeholders and leverage team to produce clear documentation.
• Experience making fast trade-offs (build vs buy, infra vs product) in a high-velocity environment.
• Comfortable integrating AI coding assistants (for example, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) into the dev workflow while maintaining security and code quality.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience writing Solana or Ethereum smart contracts.
• Background shipping consumer-facing products with rapid release cycles.
• Prior founder or technical co-founder experience.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:

• $250,000 to $300,000 USD base salary per year
• Equity and/or token grant incentives
• Comprehensive healthcare benefits
• Generous PTO
• And more...
