DeFi engineering and product hires for Venus Protocol on BNB Chain

Venus Protocol needed to make multiple senior hires across Product, Engineering, and Go-To-Market to hit aggressive growth targets. Internal teams could not source and qualify candidates for deeply technical roles, particularly for a new Product function requiring DeFi mechanics expertise.

We ran a dual-track strategy: high-volume sourcing for engineering roles and precision headhunting for the Product team. Multiple briefing sessions with the CEO established the ideal profile for each hire. Shortlists were built from DeFi-native professionals with proven protocol experience.

Senior placements made at scale and with precision. Venus hit critical milestones in development and go-to-market.
