About the role

About Helius

Helius is building the core infrastructure for Solana - empowering developers to create the next generation of crypto-powered applications. Our mission is to accelerate the development of internet capital markets by making it easier, faster, and more intuitive to build on-chain.

Thousands of teams - from early-stage startups to industry leaders like Coinbase, Phantom, and Jupiter - rely on Helius APIs, webhooks, and indexing tools to power their products. Backed by Haun Ventures, Founders Fund, and Foundation Capital, we’re a small, senior team obsessed with performance, simplicity, and scalability in decentralized systems.

Read our Helius Manifesto to see how we work and what we value.

About the Role

We’re hiring for roles where the best candidates aren’t looking, and many have never considered crypto. You’ll own full-cycle recruiting for our hardest engineering searches. That means Rust and backend engineers for our streaming, database, and edge gateway teams, platform and bare-metal infrastructure engineers, and technical roles that face developers. You’ll report to the VP of People and partner directly with Helius’s Engineering leadership.

Most of your work will be engineering hiring. As a lean company, you’ll also flex to support other functions when the business needs it.

What You'll Do

Own a portfolio of senior and staff-level searches end to end, from intake through signed offer.

Partner directly with Engineering leadership to define success profiles and calibrate on level, and push back when a req or a profile isn’t right.

Build outbound pipelines into infrastructure, cloud, devtools, and data companies. Source from both large-scale infrastructure companies and fast-moving startups, because our best hires often have both on their résumé.

Spot high-trajectory engineers, not just impressive titles. We’ll hire someone with 3 years of steep growth over someone with 10 flat years.

Sell the engineering problem, not the token. Translate Helius’s systems challenges for engineers who would never open a crypto recruiter’s message.

Run a structured, high-signal interview process in Ashby that moves fast without lowering the bar.

Run the closing process end to end, including bringing in founders and investors at the right moments, to win candidates with competing offers from larger, well-funded companies.

Turn our referral program into a consistent source of hire by mining the team’s networks, not just waiting for submissions.

Own our agency relationships and decide where in-house sourcing beats them.

Track pipeline health and conversion by stage, and use the data to fix bottlenecks.

Help build our talent brand with engineers through outreach, content, and representing Helius at engineering events and conferences (occasional travel).

Your First 90 Days

Take over our highest-priority search: a database and performance engineer for one of our core data teams.

Learn our engineering org well enough to pitch every open role in your own words.

Build an outbound pipeline that doesn’t depend on agencies or inbound.

Audit our interview process and funnel data, and bring back what you’d change.

Requirements

·5+ years recruiting engineers, with a track record of closing senior and staff-level backend, infrastructure, or systems roles.
·Strong sourcing instincts. You enjoy the hunt and have your own playbook for finding people who aren’t on the market.
·Technical fluency. You don’t need to code, but you can talk distributed systems, databases, and performance with engineers without losing them.
·Startup or high-growth experience where you were expected to move fast and get it right.
·The confidence to push back on hiring managers and drive alignment.
