CoinCrafty is a small independent publication, and we would rather be honest about that than dress it up. We are not running a permanent hiring pipeline. Roles open when there is real work and a real budget for it, and they close again when the work is done.
How openings work here
When something opens, it is posted on this page with a clear description of the work and how to apply. If this page lists nothing, nothing is open. We do not keep decorative listings up to look larger than we are, and we will not invent a role to collect applications.
Speculative notes are still welcome. If you write well about this subject and you can show us that, we would like to know you exist for when something does come up. Send it through our contact page.
What we look for
- Plain-English writing. The ability to explain a hard idea to an intelligent beginner without either baffling them or patronising them. Jargon is a last resort, not a credential.
- Sourcing discipline. Claims are traced back to something checkable. Where a thing cannot be verified, you say so rather than smoothing it over. Nothing gets invented to fill a gap.
- Reader-safety instinct. A working sense of where a guide could cost somebody money, and the reflex to slow down at exactly those steps.
- Comfort with corrections. Everyone gets things wrong. We want people who raise their own errors early and fix them in public, as set out in our corrections policy.
Deep crypto expertise is welcome but not the entry ticket. Curiosity plus rigour beats a wallet full of opinions.
How we handle bylines
Everything currently publishes under the collective CoinCrafty editorial desk byline. That is a deliberate choice, and it also sets a boundary: a named byline on this site requires a real, consenting person who actually did the work and is willing to stand behind it.
We do not create personas, invent credentials or attach fictional biographies to articles. If you contribute and want your name on it, we will discuss that with you directly. If you would rather stay under the desk byline, that is equally fine.
What working with us involves
Expect to read our editorial guidelines properly, to work to the rubric in our review methodology if you touch gear reviews, and to accept that research-based means research-based. We do not write “we tested this” about hardware nobody handled.
Expect edits, questions about your sources, and the occasional request to cut a paragraph you liked. Expect no pressure, ever, to shade a verdict towards a commercial partner.
Applying
Use the contact form. A short note about what you would like to write and two or three links to things you have written are worth far more than a long covering letter.
