About The Role

Head of HR (Hybrid)

Mintlayer is on a mission to become the UAE's first blockchain unicorn, and the people who join in the next twelve months will define whether we get there. The hires made in 2026 are the ones who will be in the room when we cross that line. You are the person who finds them, attracts them, and makes sure they stay.

This is one of the most interesting talent challenges in the industry right now. You are building a people function for a company at the intersection of Bitcoin protocol engineering and institutional finance, two talent markets that barely overlap. You get to design the compensation architecture, the culture, and the hiring process that makes Mintlayer the place serious people choose over every other opportunity.

What You Will Own

• Build Mintlayer's full hiring infrastructure: ATS, sourcing strategy, interview frameworks, offer mechanics, and onboarding programs
• Design compensation and leveling frameworks calibrated to Abu Dhabi market rates and global remote benchmarks, with ML token allocation and vesting structures
• Shape Mintlayer's employer brand across both crypto-native and institutional finance talent markets
• Manage the full employee lifecycle: UAE employment contracts, cross-border contractor agreements, performance reviews, and promotion criteria
• Build and maintain HR policies across all active jurisdictions: UAE, EU, and distributed contractor geographies
• Partner with department heads on workforce planning tied directly to 2026 roadmap milestones
• Report to the CEO on headcount progression, attrition risk, and organizational health as the company scales
  
  

What You Bring

• 8+ years HR leadership in a tech or fintech startup scaling phase
• Experience building people functions from under 20 to 100+ headcount
• Familiarity with UAE employment law and cross-border contractor structures

Benefits

• Fitness & Wellness Programs: Monthly fitness allowances for premier gyms and studios, plus internal wellness initiatives including yoga, ergonomics workshops, and stress management.
• Competitive Compensation: Salary paid in your choice of fiat, Bitcoin, or stablecoins. ML token allocation and vesting for senior roles.
• Relocation Support: Full assistance with UAE residency visas and relocation to Abu Dhabi for on-site roles. We handle the paperwork.
• Flexible Working: Structured flexibility across on-site, hybrid, and fully remote roles. Core overlap hours respected across time zones.
• Global Team Meetups: Periodic gatherings with the full team around the world. The remote team is never remote from the culture.
