DeFi Jobs

At Electric Coin Company (ECC), we're on a mission to empower everyone with economic freedom and opportunity. We invented and support Zcash (ZEC), a privacy-preserving digital currency built on strong science. In support of our mission, ECC is focused on building a world class user experience for ZEC.

As our first Defi Alchemist, you will be responsible for ensuring that ZEC (and/or synthetics) is widely supported and available for use in decentralized finance and Web3. This may include identifying and supporting the development of synthetics, support across various Defi ecosystems including DEXs, lending / borrowing options, collateralization, sourcing liquidity, etc.

You will have a vision for ZEC in Defi and Web3, a strategic perspective of what needs to be done, the ability to build and deliver a clear plan of action, and then the will to make it happen.

You are both a leader and doer and are able to drive outcomes through persuasion and influence. You will report into the Growth Team.

Core Responsibilities:

• Identify opportunities for cross-chain ZEC adoption within Defi and across the emerging Web3 ecosystem.
• Work with ECC product marketing to research and position ZEC to have the greatest positive impact for Web3 natives and ZEC holders.
• Work with ECC growth marketing to elevate ZEC awareness with those interested in Defi in order to deliver continual excitement about ZEC, privacy, and its uses.
• Develop relationships with key influencers, practitioners and market makers to bring ZEC to life across Defi.
• Develop proposals and engage with target communities to build support.
• Track the business-logic trade-offs, risks and developments in existing and emerging cross chain bridges and interoperability technologies.
• Serve as ECC’s eyes and ears across Defi and Web3.

We have a few concrete requirements, but we're flexible and looking for the right person.

• Must have prior experience in, and deep understanding of the Defi ecosystem (inclusive of Ethereum, Ethereum L2s, Cosmos, BSC, Avalanche, Fantom, etc).
• Must have deep understanding of tokenomic design and liquidity incentives within a DeFi context.
• Must have strong communication skills.
• Proven ability to lead through influence and negotiation.
• Prior experience in finance and product design is preferred.
• Experience working cross-culturally is preferred.
• While we do not expect this person to be a developer, some level of technical experience is desirable.
