Character Archetypes

While not obligatory, in the past we’ve found the following kinds of people to be strong fits. Ideally you identify with more than one:

• Deep technical expertise in crypto infrastructure - the type of person who can read a consensus mechanism whitepaper, spot the trade-offs, and explain it to founders and partners alike. Often has engineering, research, or protocol design experience.
• Exceptional network depth within the crypto builder community. The person who founders call first, who's known at every major conference, and who can make warm intros that actually matter. Strong relationship capital combined with good judgment.
• Brings structured thinking and analytical rigor to ambiguous problems. Excels at building frameworks, running tight processes, and doing the deep financial and market analysis that derisk investments. The person who ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

About the Role

• Competitive salary and carried interest.
• 401(k) and health, dental and vision benefits.
• Travel with the team for crypto conferences around the world to meet founders in the wild, build relationships, organize events, etc.
• We’re a flat org. You will work directly with the partners, our research team and hack.labs().
