In this role, you’ll research on-chain protocols and run data-driven experiments to help advance our understanding of decentralized finance.

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.

RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
