Engineering Manager

Who we are

At Set, our mission is to create an internet financial system that is globally accessible, simple, and secure. We are a distributed, product oriented team obsessed with transforming the growing universe of decentralized finance (DeFi) into simple and accessible financial products. As DeFi pioneers, our decentralized, non-custodial management tools are continuously laying the groundwork for new entrants into the space. Some recent accomplishments we’re proud of:

• Grown our assets tracked to $500MM+ from over 40,000 early web3 adopters
• Launched Index Coop, the leading decentralized provider of structured products powering products such as DeFi Pulse Index, Bankless BED Index, and the Metaverse Index
• Raised a $14MM Series A, led by top-tier crypto funds including 1kx and Hashed

Set Labs created and contributes to the Set Protocol network of open source infrastructure for managing tokenized assets built on Ethereum. The network leverages the composability of public blockchains to unlock capabilities with other DeFi protocols (Uniswap, Aave, Compound) across multiple chains (Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum) such as lending, yield farming, and more. We also build TokenSets, a gateway to access and utilize products created using Set Protocol.

We’re a remote-first company with core contributors in five countries embracing the challenges with the future of work. We collaborate through modern tooling such as Figma, Github, Google Meet, Slack, Airtable and stay aligned through weekly sprints, standups, and all hands.

We aim to empower every individual on the team with full transparency, ownership, autonomy, and clear objectives.
