About Travala
Founded in 2017 and now backed by industry giant Binance, Travala is the leading crypto-native travel booking service, offering 2,200,000+ properties across 230 countries, 600+ airlines, 50,000+ car rental locations, and 400,000+ activities globally.
Travala is a champion of cryptocurrency adoption, accepting over 100 leading cryptocurrencies alongside traditional payment methods. In addition to unbeatable prices via its Best Price Guarantee, Smart members on Travala can also enjoy additional discounts and loyalty rewards for eligible bookings made on the platform.
By incorporating next-generation blockchain technology and tokenised loyalty rewards, Travala.com is creating a cutting-edge experience at the intersection of Web3 and travel.
About the Role
Travala.com is the world's leading Web3 travel booking platform, with AVA as its native utility token. We're hiring a Senior BD Manager to own new coin listings on Travala end-to-end — sourcing targets, pitching, negotiating, and closing deals. Listings may be structured as a traditional paid fee or as an in-kind token arrangement, decided deal by deal — the specific structure isn't the focus of this role, closing quality listings is.
This is a hunter role, not a strategist or management role. You'll have sales collateral and initial market research to build from - you're not starting from a completely blank page.
While this is a fully remote position, candidates based in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region are preferred to align with working hours across our wider growth team and key internal departments, with flexibility for exceptional candidates in other locations.
Key Responsibilities
Own the full listing deal cycle: prospecting, outreach, pitching, negotiation, and closing - across paid listings and in-kind/token-based listing arrangements
Build and actively manage a prioritized pipeline of target projects, using our existing research as a starting point and expanding it over time
Represent Travala directly to token project founders, BD leads, and treasury teams to pitch new listings
Negotiate commercial terms within approved guardrails, and manage the process through to signature
Keep leadership updated on pipeline status, deal velocity, and market feedback on our listing offering
Build strategic token partner relationships to drive revenue, while identifying broader ecosystem or co-marketing leads for internal teams.
Act as primary BD liaison for internal teams (product, legal, marketing, finance) to coordinate workflows, documentation, and compliant token integration.
Research and stay up to date with cryptocurrency market trends, emerging tokens, and innovative blockchain projects to identify potential listing opportunities.
What's Not in Scope
To keep this role focused and avoid overlap with our marketing team, the following sit outside this role:
Post-signature announcements, co-marketing, and campaign work - owned by our CMO's team once a deal is signed.
Broader strategic partnerships beyond listings (e.g. major platform integrations) - owned separately.
Managing other BD staff -this is an individual contributor role, not a management position.
What You'll Have From Day One
Sales collateral and initial market research to support outreach and pipeline-building
Direct access to leadership for deal support and approvals - no bureaucratic layers slowing down a close
Requirements
5+ years of professional experience in business development or sales within the blockchain or cryptocurrency industry.
Deep understanding of Web3, including tokenomics, crypto payments, wallets, and market trends.
Genuine Web3/crypto BD experience - you already understand how token teams evaluate exchange listings and partnership offers.
Existing relationships in the space are a critical component - warm pipeline beats cold outreach.
Senior enough to run a full deal cycle independently, without needing management oversight at each step.
Genuinely commission-motivated. This role is structured for someone who wants their effort and results to show up directly in their paycheck - not someone seeking a flat, low-variability package.
Strong sales instincts and comfort with rejection - this is a quota-driven, outbound-heavy role.
Not looking for a “Head of BD” or management title - this is a hands-on, deal-closing role by design.
Exchange-side experience (Preferred): Prior experience on a listings/BD team at a crypto exchange is a strong plus - you understand how listing conversations and decisions actually get made from the other side of the table.
Benefits
Compensation: Competitive Base Salary + Uncapped Commission, depending on experience. Candidates with direct exchange-side listings experience would sit at the top of this range.
Travel Perks: Access to Smart Platinum tier on Travala.com for exclusive discounts and rewards.
Work-Life Balance: Remote working mode within a dynamic, high-performing international team culture.
Flexible Engagement Models: We offer tailored contracting or employment structures depending on your jurisdiction and location (to be discussed during the interview process).
Growth: Dedicated annual budget for courses, certifications, and tech conferences.
Web3 & Tech Exposure: Direct exposure to cutting-edge and trending technologies across Blockchain, Web3, FinTech, and real-world crypto adoption.
Premium Work Tools: High-end MacBook and necessary peripherals.

If you spend time on X/Twitter, Telegram, Discord, Reddit, Web3 communities, gaming communities, or crypto media, we'd love to hear from you.

Create engaging content around the game, Web3, crypto gaming, product updates, community news, memes, announcements, and industry trends.
Build genuine relationships with players, community members, creators, influencers, and other Web3 projects.
Develop ideas and campaigns designed to increase followers, engagement, community activity, and player acquisition.
Organize community events such as AMAs, contests, giveaways, game activities, collaborations, and community discussions.

Identify relevant trends early and turn them into timely content opportunities.
Monitor community feedback and communicate useful insights to the product and marketing teams.
Help establish Portal Sever's tone of voice and make the brand recognizable across Web3.
Research competitors, GameFi projects, gaming communities, and emerging platforms to identify new growth opportunities.
Experiment with new formats and ideas and analyze what actually works.
What we're looking for
Experience managing social media, online communities, gaming communities, crypto communities, or digital brands.
Strong understanding of Web3, cryptocurrency, blockchain, GameFi, or online gaming.
Good knowledge of X/Twitter, Telegram and Discord and how content performs differently across each platform.
Ability to communicate naturally in English with an international audience.
Strong writing skills and the ability to turn an idea or update into engaging social content.
Understanding of crypto culture, memes, trends, and community behavior.
Ability to work independently without needing detailed instructions for every task.
Comfortable communicating directly with users and handling both positive and negative feedback.
Creative mindset and willingness to test unconventional ideas.
Reliable, organized, and able to work remotely.
Nice to have
Experience with any of the following is a strong advantage: Web3 gaming, GameFi, NFT communities, gaming projects, influencer outreach, partnerships, community launches, viral content, Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, or short-form video.
Previous experience at a crypto exchange, blockchain company, Web3 startup, gaming studio, or crypto media project is welcome but not mandatory.
Why join Portal Sever?
You'll join a growing project at a stage where your ideas can have a visible impact.
We offer:
Fully remote work
Flexible working environment
A global Web3 and gaming audience
Freedom to propose and test your own ideas
Direct influence on the project's community and brand
Opportunity to grow together with the project
Exposure to the rapidly developing Web3 gaming industry
Long-term cooperation for strong performers
We care more about what you can create and grow than about formal titles or years spent in a corporate marketing department.
If you've built a community, managed a social account, created content that people actually engaged with, or simply understand how to attract attention in Web3, we want to hear from you.
When applying, please include:
A short introduction about yourself
Links to social media accounts or communities you've managed, if available
Your experience with Web3, crypto, or gaming
One or two ideas you would try to grow the Portal Sever community
Even if you don't match every requirement, feel free to apply if you believe you can bring value to the project.

Blockchain Engineer (Rust / CKB / Bitcoin / UTXO)

Full time
Remote
About the Role
We’re looking for a Blockchain Engineer to explore and build new possibilities around RGB++, CKB, and Bitcoin.
RGB++ is built around the UTXO model, so this role is particularly suited to engineers who understand Bitcoin, UTXO-based systems, or similar protocol-level architectures and are interested in exploring what new ideas can be built from that foundation.
You’ll start with RGB++ — understanding what exists today, exploring what could come next, and turning promising ideas into tools, prototypes, or infrastructure that other developers can build on.
RGB++ Protocol : https://rgbpp.com/
RGB++ GitHubRGB++ on GitHub : https://github.com/RGBPlusPlus
What You'll Do
Explore new technical and product possibilities around RGB++, CKB and Bitcoin.
Build prototypes, tools, SDKs, integrations or infrastructure to test promising ideas.
Improve the developer experience around RGB++ and related technologies.
Work with external developers, helping them understand and build on what we create.
Contribute to and collaborate with the open-source ecosystem.
Work with existing RGB++ infrastructure and contribute to its ongoing development where needed.
Share your experiments, learnings and technical thinking with the team and developer community.
What We're Looking For
Solid blockchain fundamentals and experience working beyond application-level development.
Strong hands-on engineering ability with Rust and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
Ability to take an idea from exploration to something tangible without needing a detailed specification.
Enjoy figuring out what should be built, not only how to build it.
Strong interest in Bitcoin, blockchain infrastructure, and protocol-level innovation.
An open-source mindset and comfort building things that other developers can use and extend.
Self-driven and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
Comfortable communicating in Chinese, with sufficient written English to read technical documentation and communicate asynchronously
Nice to Have
Hands-on experience with Bitcoin, UTXO-based systems, or other UTXO-based protocols
CKB / RGB++ experience
L1/L2 or blockchain infrastructure development experience
Systems or embedded engineering background
Meaningful open-source contributions or strong public technical projects
Why This Role
This isn't a role where you'll spend your time working through a predefined backlog. You'll start with RGB++, but you'll have room to explore broader possibilities around CKB and Bitcoin, develop your own ideas, and turn the most interesting ones into something real.
You'll be building in the open, with the opportunity to create tools and infrastructure that other developers can use and extend. We care less about titles or years of experience than whether you're curious, self-driven, technically capable, and excited to figure out what should be built next.
How to Apply
Interested? Send your application to join@ckba.build with:
A brief introduction about yourself and why this role interests you
Your resume or LinkedIn profile
Links to your GitHub, open-source contributions, or projects you’ve built
Perks & Work Environment
Remote & Flexible — Work from anywhere with a globally distributed team.
Flexible Time Off — 15 days of time off + public holidays based on your location.
AI & Tooling Support — Budget for AI and productivity tools that help you work better.
In-person Gatherings — Opportunities to meet and build together through team gatherings and ecosystem events.
