DeFi Analyst (Technical Build & Risk Management) | Remote | Permanent

About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled and self-reliant DeFi Analyst to design, build, and manage decentralized finance DeFi strategies. This role requires a hands-on approach to implement portfolio automation, monitor risks, and optimize performance independently—there is no dedicated technical team. Key Responsibilities Technical Development & Automation:

    • Build and maintain automated tools for portfolio monitoring, performance tracking, and rebalancing.
    • Develop custom scripts to interact with DeFi protocols, track liquidity, and execute transactions.
    • Implement monitoring systems to detect protocol updates, risks, and yield opportunities in real-time.

Portfolio Operations & Yield Optimization:

    • Design, execute, and optimize yield farming strategies.
    • Actively rebalance the portfolio to adapt to changing market conditions.
    • Execute platform transactions (setup, exit, rebalancing, limit adjustments) independently.

Risk Management:

    • Monitor and evaluate smart contracts for vulnerabilities and risks.
    • Analyze liquidity pools and ensure risk-adjusted returns across the portfolio.
    • Proactively respond to protocol changes and ensure funds are secure.

Research & Insights:

    • Conduct in-depth research into DeFi protocols, tokenomics, and market trends.
    • Evaluate and recommend new yield strategies or platforms based on technical feasibility.
    • Communicate findings through detailed reports and actionable recommendations.

Requirements Technical Must-Haves:

  • Ability to build systems independently without external tech support.
  • Proficiency in coding for blockchain interactions, such as Python, JavaScript, or Solidity.
  • Experience with DeFi tools and APIs for tracking, automating, and executing transactions.
  • Familiarity with blockchain technology and smart contracts (especially Ethereum and Layer 2 ecosystems).

Experience Must-Haves:

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in DeFi, crypto, or related fields (asset management, risk management, etc.).
  • Deep understanding of liquidity pools, staking mechanisms, and yield farming strategies.
  • A proven track record of managing and optimizing portfolios in a fast-paced environment.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to self-start and solve complex problems.

Other Skills:

  • Strong organizational, time management, and planning capabilities.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
