How to actually get hired at Avalanche

What Avalanche screens for
relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously
Tailor your CV to the specific Avalanche role rather than sending a general one. Applications that mirror the language of the job description clear automated filters at a materially higher rate.
Mistakes that kill Avalanche applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Avalanche can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Lead with their problem, not your ambition. Avalanche is focused on is growing — show you understand that.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
