- Market Feedback: Collect and synthesize insights from traders and partners to help refine product-market fit and inform roadmap decisions.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with marketing, product, and engineering teams to align ecosystem initiatives with broader go-to-market and liquidity strategies.
- Experience: 4–6+ years in crypto, DeFi, or trading-related business development. Experience engaging with institutional, professional, or algorithmic traders preferred.
- Industry Knowledge: Strong understanding of the DeFi trading ecosystem, onchain liquidity, and derivatives markets.
- Technical Familiarity: Confident discussing DeFi integrations, trading interfaces, liquidity routing, and basic smart contract interaction.
- Strategic Focus: Ability to prioritize and execute high-impact relationships across trading firms, protocols, and strategic partners.
- Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills; credible with institutional and crypto-native trading teams alike.
- Self-Starter: Comfortable operating autonomously in a fast-paced, startup environment, while coordinating across time zones and functions.
- Relationships with trading firms, onchain liquidity providers, or DeFi asset managers

How do I get a job at DeFi?
Getting a job in the DeFi (decentralized finance) industry can be a competitive process, but there are a few steps you can take to increase your chances of finding a job in this field:
- Build up your skills and knowledge: To work in DeFi, you'll likely need to have a strong understanding of blockchain technology, as well as other related technologies such as smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Consider taking online courses or earning a degree in a relevant field to build up your skills and knowledge.
- Network with industry professionals: Attend meetups and conferences related to DeFi and make connections with professionals in the industry. Networking can be a valuable way to learn about job openings and get your foot in the door at a DeFi company.
- Create a strong online presence: Many DeFi companies will look at your online presence (such as your LinkedIn profile and personal website) when considering you for a job. Make sure to showcase your skills and accomplishments online and keep your profile up to date.
- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you're applying for and highlight any relevant experience or skills you have.
- Consider internships or volunteer work: DeFi Internships or volunteer work can be a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the DeFi industry. Many companies also offer internships to students, so consider applying for an internship if you're still in school.
- Be persistent: keep trying if you don't get a job right away. It can take time to find the right opportunity, but with the right skills and determination, you can land a job in the DeFi industry.
