• First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves

• Most importantly, we seek people who are excited about crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture

• You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job
• You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission
• You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone
