This is not a listing for an internal role at Dragonfly. This posting is for us to connect you directly with one or more of the companies in our portfolio that are actively hiring for engineering leadership roles. If this description doesn’t match your background exactly but you’re a crypto-native engineer or technical leader, we encourage you to apply—we may have other opportunities that are a better fit.
What We’re Looking For:
  • Engineering leadership experience with a track record of building and shipping crypto products.
  • Ability to execute independently, especially in 0 to 1 environments.
  • Strong technical judgment and a bias toward action.
  • Experience hiring, leading, and retaining high-performing engineering teams.
  • Comfortable working closely with founders on product, strategy, and technical direction.
  • Deep familiarity with the crypto ecosystem—whether you’ve built protocols, shipped smart contracts, launched DeFi products, or scaled crypto infrastructure.

About the Role(s):Depending on the team, you could be
  • Leading engineering from the ground up, owning technical decisions, product delivery, and hiring.
  • Building and launching the first version of a core protocol, infrastructure layer, or crypto-native product.
  • Partnering with the CEO/founding team on product roadmap and long-term technical strategy.
  • Staying hands-on while setting the culture and standards for a growing engineering team.
  • Driving execution and innovation in high-impact crypto environments.

Even if you don’t match every point above but are a senior engineer or technical leader with real crypto experience, we encourage you to apply. There may be other opportunities that fit your skill set.
Process: We’ll confidentially match you with portfolio companies aligned with your background, skill set, and interests. If mutual interest exists between you and a team, we’ll facilitate a warm introduction. If there isn’t a match today, we’ll keep you top of mind for future opportunities.
Our portfolio companies are globally distributed, hiring for remote, hybrid, and in-person roles worldwide. They’re building across the entire crypto ecosystem—including DeFi, CeFi, infrastructure, L1s and L2s, creator/consumer applications, NFTs, ZK, Crypto x AI, and more. All candidate submissions are strictly confidential.
Submit your information below, and we’ll be in touch if there’s a potential fit.
