Who reads applications, which channel gets a reply, and what they screen for.
Don't make these mistakes
Don't lead with generic interest. Diego respects people who show up with proof of work that demonstrates domain understanding. Reference his bootstrapping discipline and the Circle ecosystem specifically.
What gets their attention
Best approach: engage with Diego's LinkedIn posts first - he posts frequently about the LatAm payments opportunity. DM referencing the post you engaged with, then follow up with a direct email. For technical roles, reach CTO Matias Plano directly. Contact: linkedin.com/in/diego-yanez-878861127. Company: linkedin.com/company/alfred-pay. Website: alfredpay.io
