Confidential matching program connecting experienced founding engineers with early-stage portfolio companies. Candidates should have owned core systems or features, shipped quickly in ambiguous 0-to-1 environments, and be willing to wear multiple hats (support, ops, early GTM) with a bias for action and iteration over perfect architecture.
Dragonfly is a crypto-native Venture Capital and research firm with $3.6B+ in assets under management and 160+ portfolio companies. Our Talent team connects people with roles across our portfolio, opening the door to opportunities through our Talent Network.
This is not a listing for an internal role at Dragonfly. This posting is to connect you directly with one or more companies in our portfolio that are actively hiring a Founding Engineer.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience owning core systems or features in high-growth or early-stage environments
- Track record shipping fast in ambiguous, resource-constrained environments (0-to-1 or early-stage startup experience)
- Willingness to wear multiple hats beyond pure engineering — support, ops, even early GTM
- Bias toward action and iteration over process and perfect architecture
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
Submit your information below, and we’ll reach out if there’s a potential fit.
