Work on the hardest problems in crypto crime.
We're a small team with an outsized mission making illicit crypto flows impossible to hide across India and beyond. If you want your work to matter, you're in the right place.
Your code helps catch criminals.
At Hornet, every line of code, every entity label, every feature ships directly into the hands of investigators running real cases. There's no ambiguity about impact. You'll know when your work helped put someone away.
We're at the ground floor of India's crypto-enforcement ecosystem. That means early employees don't just fill roles they define the institution.
"I joined Hornet because I wanted my work to have real-world impact, not just sit in quarterly reports. Six months in, I could already see the difference it was making."
The values we actually hire and fire by.
Not a poster in the kitchen. These are the things we look for in every interview and revisit in every retro.
Mission over metrics
We measure success by criminals caught, not dashboards shipped. Every feature has a real investigation behind it.
Move at chain speed
Crypto doesn't wait for quarterly planning. We ship fast, learn faster, and iterate directly with the people doing the work.
Radical transparency
No hidden OKRs. No closed-door decisions. Everything the roadmap, the challenges, the numbers is visible to the whole team.
Deep craft
We hire people who obsess over the details. Whether it's a graph layout or a risk model, the bar is: could this hold up in court?
Owned outcomes
Small teams, big mandates. You own a problem end-to-end not just a ticket. That comes with real accountability and real impact.
Grow with the case load
As India's crypto enforcement ecosystem matures, so does your scope. Early employees build the institution.
