Join Galaxy Ventures' Talent Network for Software Engineer roles. Connect with crypto portfolio companies for career opportunities and networking events.
As our portfolio companies grow, Galaxy Ventures helps them hire and scale teams by selectively connecting top industry talent with their open roles. A piece of this is the Galaxy Ventures Talent Network, an invite-only network of elite crypto industry professionals.
By applying and being accepted into the network, you will be on our short list of Software Engineer candidates that we confidentially share with our portfolio company founders who are hiring. We welcome all experience levels and specializations to apply.
Joining is confidential and doesn't commit you into any agreement. Candidates in our network will be shared with portfolio companies on a case-by-case basis for career opportunities as well as receiving invitations to invite-only networking events like our Constellations series.
Galaxy Ventures invests in crypto’s cutting edge founders, technologies, and business models across software infrastructure, financialized applications, protocols, and consumer use cases. Since 2018, we've invested at early stages and directly support globally distributed portfolio companies spanning the entire crypto ecosystem.
How it works:
1) Apply below to join and we'll review your application. Upon acceptance into our Talent Network and compatibility with an open role, we’ll discreetly share your profile with portfolio companies hiring for opportunities that might be a fit for you.
2) If there’s a mutual fit, we’ll facilitate a warm introduction directly to our portfolio company.
3) If timings not right, we'll keep the line of communication open and surface opportunities to you as they become available.
