What problem Pyxis solves
Hiring elite AI, Crypto Infrastructure, and frontier-technology talent is structurally difficult.
Our approach blends AI-enabled sourcing, deeply curated talent mapping, and rigorous human vetting, allowing us to deliver higher signal, faster execution, and better long-term outcomes than traditional recruiting models.We are highly flexible in how we engage, operating on contingent or partial-retainer structure, and supporting everything from single critical hires to full team builds. Regardless of structure, our focus is consistent: precision, discretion, and results.

Track Record of Execution

We are known for speed, discretion, and relentless execution, even on the most competitive and technically demanding searches.
Deep Domain
Expertise
Since inception, we have cultivated a high-signal network of AI + Crypto Infrastructure engineers, applied ML practitioners, product leaders, and GTM operators across the U.S. and Europe, relationships that are critical in a market where true AI + Crypto Infrastructure expertise is scarce.
Over many years, we have deliberately invested in building and maintaining a trusted, hard-to-access network of top-tier AI & Crypto Infrastructure talent—relationships that are critical in a market where true expertise is scarce and increasingly difficult to recruit.
