We’re a lean & hyper performance-oriented team; we are competitive, we like moving fast, and we run head-first towards seemingly impossible ideas. Our entire team is crypto-native & we have a shared North Star of solving web3’s hardest challenges.
Our team is led by one of crypto’s prominent anons, Psycho.
About the role:
Have you ever referred to yourself as “terminally online”? If so, you may be a fit for this role :)
We’re hiring a highly-technical onchain generalist to help lead the company’s long term DeFi / onchain strategy as we near the release of our upcoming onchain AI agent products. You can think of this role as a highly technical product owner; contributing to hands-on development as well as the greater strategy.
The ideal candidate is an onchain generalist that has technical hands-on experience with dapps at the blockchain level while being a DeFi power user themselves.
You’ll enjoy strong autonomy & wear various hats that include:
- Leading research efforts 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 decisions
- This role is great for those with a strong technical onchain background that get easily bored in specialized roles, as you’ll be the glue between our product, research, & engineering teams.
Requirements:
- Strong technical experience in DeFi research or leading DeFi products
- 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; web3 native who keeps up with the latest onchain advancements
- Strong writer that can convert DeFi research in to digestible public-facing content
- General interest / experience with AI agents or applied AI & ML
Not required, but a strong bonus:
- Leadership experience at a research firm, venture/trading firm, or high growth web3 company
- Prior commercial experience as a smart contract dev or security auditor
