Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience building globally elite teams, ideally competing against the world’s strongest engineering and/or finance companies for talent
- A history of building deep, trusted relationships with hiring managers, ideally in the context of at least one early-stage startup
- The ability to influence complex processes without explicit authority
- Genuine curiosity about the wide-ranging implications of crypto technology on the way financial markets operate
- Evidence of grit: experience overcoming challenging personal and professional circumstances
What the job involves
- We’re currently looking to hire our first in-house tech-focused recruiter, who would work directly with Eugene and Jarry to expand this 12-person team
- The focus is predominantly on software engineering, though there will also be opportunities to work on non-technical roles well, such as marketing or administration
- You’d be building a world-class team, with current engineers hailing from Stripe, Airbnb, Switchboard Labs, Akuna Capital, and more
- All roles are in the Ellipsis Labs office in New York City
- Identifying and closing A+ engineering and product talent, conveying to them the uniquely deep technical challenges at Ellipsis Labs
- Constructing a recruiting operation that produces good hiring decisions quickly and at scale
- Defining and publicizing a talent brand that attracts the best engineers in (and beyond) crypto
- Counseling founders on issues ranging from offer negotiation to organizational design
Our take
In the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, there's an increasing demand for efficient, secure, and accessible platforms. The decentralized nature of blockchain technology presents both opportunities and challenges, notably regarding liquidity, efficiency and interoperability.
To tackle this challenge, Ellipsis Labs has developed Phoenix, a decentralized exchange built on the Solana blockchain. Phoenix distinguishes itself by offering an on-chain order book, leveraging Solana's high throughput and low transaction costs. By eliminating the need for a "crank" and providing on-chain market event data, Phoenix enhances trade settlements and transparency, addressing key pain points in DeFi trading.
With recent funding, Ellipsis Labs is well-positioned to further advance its DeFi technology stack and expand its market presence. The substantial funding signifies investor confidence in Ellipsis Labs' vision and capabilities, paving the way for continued innovation and growth.
