Our recruitment philosophy

We believe the most important aspect of our recruitment process is self-awareness: we are looking for people who have a clear understanding of themselves and what they are looking for in their professional career. That means that we expect to work with people who not only have the right skills, but who have also made the conscious decision to look for a company in our industry and with our characteristics and are willing to ask questions and learn in a context that may not be familiar to them.

Our offer

  • A 6 month paid internship at Belgians leading digital assets company

  • The standard type of contract used in Belgium for professional internships is a so-called convention d'immersion professionnelle, with a fixed salary of ~1k EUR

  • The opportunity to learn about digital assets and blockchain from a 30,000 ft view of the entire ecosystem

  • Working from one of Brussels newest, nicest and most advanced office spaces

We have a strong preference for the internship to take place on-site in Belgium. In rare cases, for candidates based outside of Belgium, an alternative type of contract can be considered.
