Head of DeFi (Remote)
Description:
Have you ever referred to yourself as “terminally online”? If so, read on… you may be a fit for this role :)
We’re hiring a highly technical onchain wizard to help lead the company’s expansion in to DeFi, including our upcoming AI dapp.
This is not a traditional role; you’ll be the glue between our product, research, & engineering teams - working with all 3.
About the role:
You’ll enjoy strong autonomy & wear various hats that include:
- Being the lead researcher on technical DeFi initiatives within the company
- Keeping a pulse on the latest DeFi trends to ensure our products stay ahead of the curve
- Contributing to product roadmap & strategy for our onchain products
- Working alongside our engineering team to assist with onchain technical decision making
The ideal candidate is an onchain generalist that has technical hands-on experience with dapps at the blockchain level while being a native power user themselves
Requirements:
- Strong background in DeFi research; proven success in a similar role or as a solo researcher
- Experience using smart contract libraries such as viem or web3.js
- Strong analytical & data-focused background, including but not bound to: SQL, Dune, Python, & similar
- Good SecOps; understanding of best security practices for smart contracts & onchain dapps
- Terminally online; deeply in tact with crypto culture & defi product trends
- Strong writer that can convert technical research in to more digestible public facing writings
Not required, but a strong bonus:
- Leadership experience at a research firm, venture/trading firm, or high growth web3 company
- General interest / experience with applied AI or applied ML
- Prior commercial experience with smart contract development or security auditing
