Working in the DeFi Team

We're looking for a motivated and curious individual to join our DeFi team full-time. In this role, you'll research on-chain protocols and run data-driven experiments to help advance our understanding of decentralized finance. Our trading approach is deeply rooted in technology - our traders are analytical, programmatic problem solvers who thrive on innovation. In keeping with the builder ethos of the DeFi space, this role will give you the opportunity to wear many hats. You'll likely work across multiple codebases and languages, exploring the frontiers of the ecosystem's design space.


We are a tight-knit, collaborative team that values open dialogue and creative exploration. You'll work closely with experienced traders and developers, receiving mentorship while being encouraged to form your own perspectives, challenge ideas, and pursue new areas of inquiry together.

Requirements:
  • Proficiency in programming with at least one of Rust or Python.
  • Comfortable working on Linux environments and Git version control.
  • Experience with programmatic statistical analysis and quantitative / analytic skills.
  • High level understanding of high-frequency market making strategies.
  • Understanding of blockchain fundamentals and mechanics of the EVM.
  • Familiarity with smart contract development and the Foundry toolkit.
  • A passion for learning about protocol microstructure and design mechanisms.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
