FRESH JOBS 

Open roles that dropped this week (remote-based unless otherwise noted).

😎 [Product] Design Lead 💸 $165k-225k, Mirror → Posted 17 days ago but our hunch is that they're getting mostly brand design applicants not product designers due to the funky job title. If you're in product, here's your chance to lead and motivate a design team to steer Mirror's web3 user-facing platforms.

🌍 Head of Customer Success 💸 $230k-260k, Galaxy Digital → A quarter-million compensation package to help customers navigate the crypto economy? We're all in.

🏆 Head of Legal and Company Secretary 💸 Unknown, Outlier Ventures → Get two titles in one while you advise legal, commercial, and regulatory strategy for the largest web3 accelerator in the world.

🥳 Technical Copywriter 💸 $70k-100k, Waku→ Own documentation for public goods infrastructure. Scintillating, to be sure.

🚢 Corporate Paralegal (Contract) 💸 $70-90/hr DOE, Blockdaemon → Jr. Attorneys + law school grads rejoice. Crush this contract for corporate and equities and you may just have an onramp to a brand new full-time role.

🌲 Business Development Lead 💸 $150k-200k, Monad → Help launch a new layer-one! Build relationships with app devs and source projects to get the BD motor running. Possibly phenomenally challenging, possibly amazing. Apply and let us know.

🌊 Director Government Relations 💸 $ 70k-200k, Sorare → We're unclear on how this salary band was calculated but either way it's a cool opp to own government affairs strategy while serving as a thought leader in the web3 entertainment and sports space.

🎧 Research Associate 💸 $100k-300k, dYdX → Own a broad set of research initiatives for the largest decentralized exchange in the world by trading volume. $1B traded per day!

💽 UI/UX Designer 💸 $80k-150k, Stealth → Do you have strong knowledge of DeFi/Crypto/Web3? What about 2+ years building prototypes in the tech space? Reply to this email with "UI/UX Designer Convo" if you're interested in learning more. Please include your resume and LinkedIn profile link.

👾 Product Manager 💸 $150k-200k + equity, Stealth→ If you're a technical product manager (ideally with an engineering background) with experience in dev tool products in the DevOps/Cloud space this is the perfect role for you.

"Fintech" is one of those terms that often conjures images of Patagonia vests and/or robots with iridescent blue lights and abstract coding imagery. Both miss the mark.

Fintech is where Wall Street and Main street intersect. The Gamestop stock surge showed that more people are interested in financial tools they control, especially as the pandemic eradicated IRL experiences. This shifted fintech from behind-the-scenes technology to center stage. So how is the next wave of fintech built, without WallStreetBets bros controlling the narrative?
