## **👥 Hiring & Team**

November was a great month, we filled all the open positions we had and contributors will start working during December. We are ready to kickstart 2026 with an awesome team.

**Filled in November (start in December):**

**Product Designer (Protocol Squad)** — +5 years in UGC platforms (ex- **The Sandbox** ); will lead end-to-end app UX for the first public release (sign-up flows, discovery, controls, look & feel) targeted for **Q1 2026**.

**Bevy Developer (semi-senior)** — Rust dev with Godot experience; contributor to Bevy’s main repo. Initial three-week work test in November; if all checks out, starts in **December**. Focus: SDK runtime support and performance.

**Godot Developer** — elevated from part-time to **full-time** given the critical path to ship the mobile apps by **Q1 2026**. Background in DCL building and game development.

**Art Director** _(new vs. original plan)_ — former head of **Polygonal Mind** ; will own the creative vision across clients, creator tools, and content/experiences. This position was not on the original hiring plan, but we condensed other roles and created this new one that will take over the creative and content responsibilities

**Notes:** Filling the (originally part-time) Godot role as full-time **completes the hiring plan for the mobile team** for this operational period.

## **⚖ Legal & Operations**

- **Contracts:** All contributors are now under standard agreements with the Regenesis Labs Foundation.

- **Bylaws:** No update this month; drafting continues to clarify roles/responsibilities within the DCL ecosystem.

- **Vendor contracting:** Still finalizing the **Avantgarde** agreement for DAO treasury management; targeting closure by year-end.
