DeFi Yield Strategist

About the role

This role focuses on developing and implementing strategies to generate yield from decentralized finance protocols. The strategist will be responsible for evaluating opportunities based on risk and return, actively managing capital allocations, and ensuring capital efficiency. A key aspect of the work involves monitoring the health of protocols and assessing smart contract risks to protect investments.

The strategist will build and maintain systems to track the performance of these strategies, stress-testing them against various market conditions. Regular reporting on strategy performance will be provided to the investment team. Collaboration on market intelligence and identifying new DeFi opportunities is also expected, contributing to the firm's broader investment goals.

Success in this position means consistently delivering strong risk-adjusted returns through well-researched and actively managed DeFi strategies. It requires the ability to operate independently in a rapidly changing market, making informed decisions, and continuously adapting strategies based on market dynamics and protocol developments.

The base salary for this full-time remote position is between $95,000 and $145,000 annually, complemented by a performance-based bonus.
