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!!

What makes a strong Web3 team in 2026?
It’s not just technical strength.
The strongest teams we see:
• Move quickly but with structure
• Have clear ownership
• Hire for adaptability
• Focus on output, not headcount
Small, high-performing teams > large, unfocused ones.
🚨JAPAN JUST OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED CRYPTO AS A MAINSTREAM FINANCIAL ASSET
The world’s 4th largest economy will treat crypto like stocks, with taxes on assets like BTC and ETH to fall from 55% to 20% by 2028.
The intersection between TradFi and digital assets is continuing to evolve rapidly.
As more firms expand their crypto divisions, we’re seeing strong demand across engineering, quant, and trading talent, particularly within highly technical, low latency environments.

It’s a lack of signal.
There are:
• More people entering Web3 than ever
• More “experience” on paper
• More noise in the market
But genuinely strong candidates?
Still very limited.
The challenge isn’t finding people.
It’s identifying who can actually deliver.
Getting into Web3 can feel overwhelming.
Where do you actually start?
Here’s a simple breakdown to help you build a solid foundation, from understanding Bitcoin to getting hands-on with the ecosystem.
“10x engineer” 🚩
“Must thrive in chaos” 🚩
Some job specs say more about the company than the role…
We caught up with Sam to talk hiring, trends, and where Web3 is actually heading 👇

@binji_x Hiring here at @Odiintech
We have roles globally. Personally i have a lot of roles in NYC for the following.
GTM - $120-$150k + Equity
DevSecOps Engineer - Up to $300k + equity
Rust Low latency dev - Up to $250k + Equity
Android Dev - Up to $220k + Equity
Nearly half of hires don’t work out long-term.
And in fast-moving markets like Web3, the cost is even higher:
• Lost time
• Slower roadmaps
• Team disruption
Getting hiring right first time isn’t just important, it’s a competitive advantage.
