DeFi Risk & Operations Analyst

About Noca

Noca is a DAO treasury manager. We manage onchain treasuries with institutional rigor — deploying capital across DeFi protocols, managing risk parameters, and optimizing yield strategies for DAOs.

We manage the Gnosis DAO treasury — over $200M in liquid assets deployed across DeFi. We’re a small, high-output team. Transparency is how we operate.

The Role

We’re looking for a DeFi Risk & Operations Analyst to work directly on treasury strategy execution: monitoring positions, evaluating protocol risk, managing liquidity deployments, and keeping our operations tight.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll be in the protocols daily — not writing about them from a distance.

What you’ll do:

• Monitor and manage live DeFi positions across lending, liquidity provisioning, and yield strategies
• Evaluate and maintain risk parameters across protocols (collateral ratios, liquidation thresholds, concentration limits)
• Execute treasury operations: rebalancing, bridging, deploying and unwinding positions
• Research new protocols and strategies — assess smart contract risk, governance risk, and economic risk before capital deployment
• Build and maintain dashboards, alerts, and reporting for portfolio positions using tools like Hypernative, Tenderly Alerts, and similar monitoring infrastructure
• Use AI tools (Claude, custom agents) to accelerate research and monitoring, while maintaining manual verification and oversight of all agent outputs
• Track governance proposals and protocol changes across the DeFi ecosystem that could impact treasury positions or risk exposure
• Document operational procedures and risk frameworks

What we’re looking for:

• 2-4 years of direct, hands-on DeFi experience — not just trading, but understanding how protocols work under the hood
• Strong grasp of lending protocols (Aave, Morpho, Compound, Euler), DEX liquidity provisioning (Uniswap v3/v4, Curve, Balancer), and stablecoin mechanics
• Familiarity with risk parameters: LTVs, liquidation penalties, oracle dependencies, bad debt scenarios
• Experience using Claude, ChatGPT, or similar AI tools as genuine productivity multipliers — for research, analysis, and operational workflows — with the judgment to verify and supervise outputs
• Comfortable reading Solidity at a basic level and interpreting onchain data (Etherscan, Dune, Arkham)
• Systematic thinker who documents processes and builds repeatable frameworks rather than ad-hoc decision-making
• Strong written communication — you’ll be writing risk assessments, not just Telegram messages

Bonus points:

• Experience with multisig operations (Safe) and DAO governance tooling
• Background in traditional finance risk management
• Familiarity with cross-chain operations and bridging
• Experience building Dune dashboards or similar analytics
• You’ve been liquidated before and learned from it

Details

• Type: Full-time contractor
• Location: Remote — CET to JST timezones
• Compensation: Competitive, discussed during interviews
• Team: Small, senior, direct. No middle management. You’ll have real impact and real responsibility from day one.

How to Apply

Send an email to with:

1. A brief note on your DeFi experience and what you’ve managed/operated (not a cover letter essay)
2. Your CV or LinkedIn
3. One example of a DeFi risk you identified and how you handled it — can be a paragraph, a Dune query, a thread, whatever demonstrates how you think

Don’t check every box? If you have strong DeFi fundamentals and think you’d be a good fit, apply anyway.

No recruiters. No generic applications. If you can’t articulate a specific DeFi risk scenario off the top of your head, this isn’t the role.
