Friday Candidate Spotlight⭐
Ending the week with a few people who feel very worth having on the radar👀
Three very different profiles, but all the kind of people who’ve actually built, shipped or secured things in proper Web3 environments:
🔐 Senior Blockchain Security Engineer
Has worked across protocol security, smart contract reviews and secure engineering processes, with experience helping teams spot risk before it becomes a very expensive problem.
📱 Senior Product Manager - Wallets / Payments
Product-led profile with experience across wallet infrastructure, payments, onboarding flows and crypto products built for real users, not just Web3 natives.
⚙️ Senior Infrastructure / DevOps Engineer
Strong infra profile with experience across nodes, validators, monitoring, cloud systems and production blockchain environments.
Always happy to chat if one of these sounds close to what your team needs!!

@_kate_lv This is such a good feeling. Once your niche clicks, it stops feeling like you’re shouting into the void and starts feeling like the right people can actually find you.
@MartinGTobias I had this the other day! I had sooo much to do it was becoming overwhelming so I sat down and thought - what is a priority and what MUST be done today. What can I leave until tomorrow etc. and it definitely helped!
@Gavel_on_X Probably learning about people.
What motivates them, what makes them take risks, what makes them stay or leave - I find that stuff genuinely interesting.
@omarvvvr Honestly, probably out of clarity. It’s hard to keep motivation or money alive when the team is still guessing who they’re building for and why it matters.
@jackprice Probably very manually. Find the exact people with the problem, message them properly, ask good questions, and make it easy for them to try it.
@Thebiglade Anything where trust is the product. AI can help with loads, but people still want to work with people they trust, especially when the stakes are high.
@remoteoliver Love this.
The best connections never feel forced. They usually come from doing good work, being genuinely curious and actually caring about the people you meet.
@DanielSmidstrup Such a good way to sense-check an idea.
If you can’t clearly explain what becomes easier, simpler or cheaper, it’s probably not quite sharp enough yet.
@suraj_sharma14 This is actually useful though 😭
Finding people who want to build things and aren’t just “thinking about starting soon” is a whole challenge.
@sflorimm Honestly, probably adaptability.
Tools will keep changing every 5 minutes, but people who can learn quickly, communicate clearly and actually understand the problem they’re solving will still stand out.
Eeeek the first England World Cup game this year and we had a win🏆
Nothing like a bit of football to bring everyone together - naturally I'm convinced it's coming home...
Happy World Cup Season everyone!!⚽
