Talent Acquisition Specialist

Cybrid is a Series A fintech startup building the next generation of crypto-powered global payments infrastructure. Our platform enables fintechs, banks, and enterprises to launch compliant, scalable, and global payment solutions with one API. We bridge the gap between traditional financial rails and blockchain-native payments, helping partners launch faster, bank faster, and pay faster using stablecoins and Bitcoin.

With deep expertise across crypto, security, banking, and payments, our team has scaled fintech platforms before and now we're taking the Cybrid platform worldwide.

We're looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us attract and hire the best talent as we grow. You'll manage full-cycle recruitment, from sourcing and screening, to closing candidates while building a strong employer brand and delivering an exceptional candidate experience.

This is a 12-month contract role, with the opportunity to extend or convert to permanent employment, depending on business needs and performance.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, high-impact environment and wants to help shape how recruiting is done in a growing, remote-first company. You'll act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers, bringing market insights and hiring best practices to every search. We're looking for someone who is comfortable trying new things, creating and refining processes, and who considers themselves a builder and collaborator. You are someone who can move quickly, experiment thoughtfully, and continuously improve how we hire. You should be open to feedback as we evolve our approach to talent acquisition, and equally comfortable giving thoughtful feedback to others to help the team improve together.
