About Dragonfly

Dragonfly is a global investment firm focused on the future of money, markets, and intelligence. With origins in crypto and over $3.5 billion in assets under management, we invest in generational companies and protocols across the frontier of finance and technology. We're a team of seasoned VCs, technologists, and markets experts with deep roots in New York, Silicon Valley, and Asia. We've published some of the industry's most widely read research on stablecoins, market structure, decentralized finance, networks, protocol security, and increasingly, the intersection of finance and AI.

This is an application to join our talent network. This is not a listing for an internal role at Dragonfly.

We're actively sourcing for Staff Engineers across multiple portfolio companies. These are high-ownership, hands-on roles for engineers who want to be close to the code and architecture.

Location: San Francisco (onsite) / some roles are NYC or USA (remote)

What We're Looking For:

8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of end-to-end ownership
AI-forward mindset, you build with and on top of AI as a core part of your workflow, not an afterthought
Full-stack capability with comfort owning architecture, infrastructure, and deployment
Experience shipping production systems at scale with real users and real stakes
Strong technical instincts, you push for simpler designs, good observability, and strong engineering culture
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and moving fast in early-stage environments

About the Roles:

End-to-end ownership across product, infra, and architecture
Work directly with founders and small teams, no layers, no bureaucracy
Ship fast, iterate, and have a real say in technical direction
Build AI-native features, integrations, and systems from the ground up

A note: several of these teams are specifically looking for engineering leaders who want to return to being hands-on individual contributors. If you've been in management and miss building, this is worth a look.

Even if you don't match every point above, we encourage you to apply. There may be other opportunities that fit your skill set.

Process:

We'll confidentially match you with portfolio companies aligned with your background, skill set, and interests
If mutual interest exists between you and a team, we'll facilitate a warm introduction
If there isn't a match today, we'll keep you top of mind for future opportunities

Compensation

$200,000–$300,000
