About Node & Vector

Who We Are

Node & Vector is a specialist executive and technical search firm focused exclusively on crypto infrastructure and applied AI.

We partner with founders and VCs to hire senior leadership and build technically exceptional teams across critical growth stages — from founding team sprints to confidential executive succession.

Our network spans protocol engineers, ML researchers, cryptographers, quantitative developers, and the operational leaders who scale them. We operate globally with a bias toward depth over volume.

Principles

Depth Over Volume

We do fewer searches, better. Every mandate gets senior attention.

Network-Led

Our candidates come from direct relationships, not databases.

Confidential by Default

Sensitive searches require controlled disclosure. We operate accordingly.

Founder-Aligned

We understand the urgency and constraints of building at the frontier.
