chainwork
About

Built for the AI agent doing the searching.

chainwork is the registry of AI × crypto engineering roles. Every job is structured, salary-transparent, and machine-readable, because the next decade of hiring runs through agents, not keyword search.

The wedge

Every other web3 job board is a list of links. The same Greenhouse and Lever feeds, re-skinned. We started there too, but the opening isn't another aggregator. It's being the source an AI agent chooses when someone asks it "what AI × crypto founding engineer roles exist this week?"

That means we are not optimizing for SEO traffic against Web3.career. We are optimizing for being the cleanest, deepest, most-citeable index at the intersection of AI and crypto engineering. A different game.

What that looks like

  • MCP server (built-in). Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent to /mcp , your agent searches our database with two tools, no scraping.
  • llms.txt + per-role markdown. Every job is fetchable as plain markdown at /llms/<slug>.md. No HTML parsing.
  • JSON-LD on every job. schema.org JobPosting, pre-computed. Google JobSearch and any downstream parser get the same canonical view as your eyes do.
  • AI matching by GitHub or CV. Drop a GitHub profile or resume, we extract your skill graph and rank roles by actual fit.
  • Salary where it exists, never invented. Pay is shown exactly as the employer publishes it, in its own currency. Roles that don't disclose say so instead of showing a made-up range, and every paid post must carry one.

Who's building this

A solo founder who also runs an AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) SaaS. chainwork is partly the personal dogfood for that work, every architectural choice (MCP, llms.txt, JSON-LD, structured everything) is a live experiment in how to be cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.

That's the operator's edge here: the person designing the agent-native surface ships AI-search optimization as a day job.

Today's scope

We ingest from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable across more than 160 crypto and AI-adjacent companies, every day. Engineering is the core, and the catalog carries the rest of a crypto team too: product, design, BD, marketing, operations, legal. The AI × crypto wedge sharpens over time.
