Ecosystem Manager

The Role

• We’re looking for a crypto-native professional to help us grow the Chainflip ecosystem
• Work with the most ambitious and generally applicable cross-chain decentralised exchange in the industry
• Help us capitalise on our recent launch to become an industry leader
• Thriving flexible office culture with strong collaboration and social bonds
• Funded by top tier Web3 funds, with in-house compliance and finance team

What do we do?

Chainflip is an efficient swapping protocol that enables users to swap native assets across different blockchains with excellent pricing. We just launched our FLIP token after 3.5 years of development, which has been a huge success.

We’re not yet another bridge. Our protocol design removes the need for wrapped tokens. We use MPC (Multi-Party-Computation), and in particular, TSS (Threshold Signature Schemes) to create aggregate keys held by a permissionless network of 150 Validators. These validators control simple smart contracts/wallets called Vaults, on multiple blockchains simultaneously. On top of that, we developed our own substrate-based application-specific blockchain — the Chainflip State Chain — to track balances, process events, and execute instructions. The end result? Fast, efficient, and ultra-competitive swaps. We’re taking on the CEXes for BTC volume!

This is an exciting challenge that we’ve been working on for 3 years now with our growing engineering team of 30. Unlike many crypto companies, we have a thriving office culture in the heart of Berlin, while still offering flexibility and partial remote work from time to time.

What’s the Job?

We are looking for an enthusiastic crypto native to join us as an Ecosystem Manager, working directly with William Johs, our Head of Ecosystem, Shaun van Vuuren, our Head of Marketing, and Simon Harman, our founder and CEO.

This is a highly dynamic role covering many different topics, all with the explicit goal of expanding and developing the Chainflip Ecosystem through Business Development, Outreach, Promotional Activities, and more. As examples of some of the projects you’ll be working on, you’ll:

• Act as a first point of contact for projects that want to use the Chainflip SDK (Dealing with inbound requests)
• Identify and engage prospective projects looking to go Cross-chain / that could benefit from Chainflip SDK
• Research DeFi trends to find the leading projects in each ecosystem that we are in (i.e. Polkadot, Solana, etc.)
• Monitor and track the performance of Chainflip’s integrations and partnerships
• Activate existing ecosystem participants (Validators, MMs, etc.)
• Attend 3-4 conferences per year
• Plan events for conferences: Hackathons with DoraFactory, Ethcc event, EthBerlin event

Some attributes we look for in this role:

• Crypto-native: You’ve been professionally involved in the space, either as a founder, DAO member, employee, or something else for at least 2 years. You get the space and don’t need us to explain general concepts of the industry to you.
• Social: You’re someone who enjoys connecting with people as a part of your job, and will happily take calls, help people over Discord, or meet someone in person to advance the ecosystem.
• Executor: You don’t just talk about what should be done: you see projects through to completion, and chase up other people internally and externally to get the required inputs to get the task done.

We are a Berlin-based team with our own office space in the heart of Kreuzberg, but we have remote workers in a couple of countries in Europe, a new office in Dublin, and a team in Melbourne, Australia. We meet up as a whole team once a year (last time it was in Cape Town), have a very open and flexible culture, and enjoy meaningful personal connections with one another. Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences to share, and we hope you’ll be able to contribute with yours too.

We offer all Berlin-based employees standard employment contracts under German law and the following list of benefits:

• 🪙 Equity / Tokens: Invested in Chainflip? We invest in you, too.
• 🚉 Public transport: Enjoy the “Deutschland Ticket” subscription
• 🏊🏽‍♂️ Stay Active: We have you covered with an Urban Sports Club membership
• 🎓 Learning: Annual budget for personal development (eg Udemy courses)
• 📚 Language courses: Go multilingual with our sponsored courses
• 🌴 Loyalty Rewards: Extra holidays for every year working at Chainflip. It is very important to us that our team members are well-rested and take the time to recharge from time to time
• 🍲 Team Vibes: From in-office cooking sessions, sports like volleyball and padel, to music streams and events, we ensure you’re always connected and engaged. After all, it’s the collective spirit that makes Chainflip unique.
