About Maple

Developed to solve the inefficiencies seen in traditional systems, Maple brings the corporate credit market 100% on-chain using smart contracts to remove time and cost frictions, and executed on blockchains for immutability.

Maple Finance is infrastructure for experts (pool delegates) to run on-chain lending businesses, and have three core customers Borrowers, Lenders and Pool Delegates. Maple offers Borrowers transparent, capital-efficient financing. For Lenders, Maple offers a sustainable yield source through lending to diversified pools of crypto’s premium institutions. Loans are managed and underwritten by sophisticated teams of credit analysts called Pool Delegates, who assess credit-worthiness and set loan terms with Borrowers.

The Team

Today the Maple team is 40+ strong, with staff from BlockFi, Kraken, Meta, Bank of America, Gemini and MakerDAO to name just a few blue-chip orgs. Team profiles are shared on our site here!

The Role

The product team, in order to scale the product, will require specialists who are able to effectively manage product features for key user groups. The user groups are roughly divided between lenders/Liquidity Providers & Pool Cover Stakers and Pool Delegates & Borrowers. Each of these user groups have distinct needs which require expertise to effectively manage and ensure key metrics are being met, which leads to rapid growth.

With the delivery of our “Pools V2” upgrade, there will be a huge opportunity to build features on top of the contracts, as well as build contract modules to work with the Pools V2 architecture. It will be imperative that features built on top of Pools V2 have been prioritised, planned and most importantly facilitate growth.
