Job description
Who we are
The Nomic Foundation is a non-profit advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. We build open-source developer tools: runtimes, compilers, build systems, and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes, allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the Ethereum ecosystem through building high-performing teams at Nomic.

Hiring at Nomic is intentional and focused on high quality, and we’re looking for a recruiting leader who values that and is excited by the challenge of finding niche talent for hard-to-fill roles. You approach challenges with relentless drive, spot details others miss, and care deeply about improving systems and experiences. You’ve built recruiting engines or helped scale them from early stages, and you know how to tell a compelling story about who we are and why we matter.
In addition to recruiting, you have an interest in People Operations: policy development, team engagement, culture-related initiatives, and employer branding. But above all, you care about people - you’re curious about how teams work, invested in understanding each person’s context, and motivated by helping others feel supported and happy at work

Your unique background and skills could be just what our team needs and we warmly encourage you to apply.
