Tech Lead (Crypto/ AI)
About The Position
We’re looking for a Tech Lead for one of our Crypto VC clients. This role is for a technical, product-oriented leader who thrives in early-stage zero-to-one environments and can operate across smart contracts, consumer products, and large-scale distributed systems. Job Description: Own the technical roadmap for the decentralized accelerator platform, covering smart contracts, consumer products, infrastructure, growth systems, and marketplace rails. Drive engineering excellence in performance, reliability, security, scalability, and rapid iteration with tight user feedback loops. Collaborate closely with product, CEO, and cross-functional teams (including legal and ecosystem) on design, development, and roadmap execution. Lead design reviews and development of economic/token-related smart contracts, ensuring secure, audited, gas-efficient architectures integrated with user flows and marketplace logic. Ship fast, intuitive consumer experiences across core features: Futures (build-in-public), Bounties (user validation), Markets (token launch), App Store, Integration Hub, and dashboards. Build, scale, and mentor a world-class engineering team, fostering a culture of ownership, speed, craftsmanship, and establishing processes, standards, and recruiting systems. Partner with the Founder on long-term strategy, platform evolution, major architectural decisions, and defining AI/ crypto infrastructure.
