We are expanding our talent network and seeking a proactive DeFi Trader to join our partner, a leading quantitative crypto fund. This role will involve managing and executing sophisticated DeFi strategies while contributing to the research and development of new trading models in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.
What You’ll Do
- Research, develop, and execute automated and discretionary trading strategies across decentralized exchanges (DEXs), liquidity pools, and yield aggregators.
- Monitor and manage active positions, LP holdings, and farming strategies across multiple chains (Ethereum, Solana, Layer 2s), optimizing for risk-adjusted returns.
- Conduct in-depth on-chain and fundamental analysis of new DeFi protocols, tokenomics, and governance mechanisms to identify alpha opportunities.
- Build and maintain tools and dashboards for real-time monitoring of market conditions, gas fees, liquidity, and protocol health.
- Collaborate with the research team to backtest strategy ideas using historical blockchain data.
- Actively manage risk through portfolio allocation, position sizing, and the use of hedging instruments (e.g., perps, options).
- Stay ahead of the curve on emerging DeFi trends, airdrop campaigns, new primitives (e.g., restaking, intent-based systems), and regulatory developments.
- Provide clear, data-driven reports on strategy performance, P&L attribution, and market insights.
Who You Are
- Proven track record (2+ years) of profitable trading in decentralized finance, with a deep understanding of AMM mechanics, yield farming, and liquidity provision.
- Strong experience with DeFi tools and platforms: DeFi Llama, Zerion, DeBank, Dune Analytics, along with direct interaction via wallets (Metamask, Phantom) and popular DEXs/aggregators.
- Solid technical understanding of blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, and common DeFi vulnerabilities.
- Proficiency in data analysis and a strong quantitative mindset. Experience with Python/R for data scraping, analysis, or backtesting is a strong plus.
- Highly disciplined, systematic, and able to remain calm under pressure in volatile market conditions.
- Self-starter with a passion for DeFi who spends significant time “on-chain” exploring new protocols.
- English communication skills for reporting and collaboration.
Nice to have: Experience with MEV strategies, flash loans, or protocol development. A strong on-chain reputation or history of early participation in successful DeFi projects.
What We Offer

- Budget for trading tools, data subscriptions, and continuous education.
