• 🧠 AIVM > The first complete on-chain AI Layer 1, currently in development
• 🚀 ChainGPT Pad & DegenPad > Launchpads trusted by some of the fastest movers in Web3
• 🛠️ Dev Suite > SDKs, APIs, LLMs, White-label tools, Staking, Vesting, Agent Launcher

We’re not theorycrafters. We ship.
 
 

🎯 What We’re Hiring For

 
We’re seeking a Business Development Manager (Layer 1 Focus) to join our Core BD team. You’ll be responsible for growing and deepening relationships with:
 

• Layer 1s and Layer 2s
• Protocol foundations
• Infrastructure projects
• Validator networks
• Developer ecosystems

This is a high-ownership, high-context role. This is more than a sales role — you’ll play a key part in strategically aligning ChainGPT’s L1 with other blockchains, emerging protocols, and ecosystem organizations.
 
 

🛠️ What You’ll Actually Do

• Lead strategic outreach & deal flow with Layer 1/L2 chains, infrastructure protocols, and on-chain tools.
• Represent ChainGPT in cross-chain alliance discussions, grants programs, validator partnerships, and co-GTM efforts.
• Support BD engagements end-to-end, from initial discussions to formal agreements and successful onboarding
• Collaborate with internal teams (Product, Labs, Marketing) to design developer campaigns, support co-marketing initiatives, and foster ecosystem engagement.
• Plug ChainGPT into rollups, appchains, modular chains, alt-VMs, and early-stage L1s that want AI infra from day 1.
• Monitor emerging opportunities across ecosystems such as Cosmos, Polygon, Avalanche, Berachain, Solana, Base, and Scroll, ensuring ChainGPT engages early with new developments

✅ What You Bring

• 2+ years of BD or Partnerships experience at a Layer 1 / Layer 2 / Rollup / Core Blockchain project
• Deep understanding of blockchain architecture, validator economics, ecosystem funding models, and the ability to navigate complex deals independently
• Clear, concise communication, you’re just as comfortable on a call with a foundation lead as you are at Token2049 pitching a founder
• An established network of relationships within the L1/L2 ecosystem is a strong advantage
• Bonus: you’ve previously worked on AI tools, white-label infra, or protocol-level integrations
• Proven track record of partnerships that led to successfully delivered products or initiatives

🚀 What You’ll Get

• An opportunity to contribute directly to the launch of a new L1 AI blockchain
• Work with a battle-tested team building multi-product infrastructure already used by 100+ partners
• Competitive compensation package with base salary, performance-based bonuses, and potential token incentives
• Opportunities to participate in global events, speaker slots, industry introductions, and leading hackathons
• Remote-first, async-friendly team culture with a strong focus on autonomy, collaboration, and speed
