Crypto Jobs in California, United States

Founding Business Development Lead (Remote)

As our first Business Development hire, you will lead partnerships at Rift.

We’re looking for someone who’s hungry to own the entire customer integration lifecycle: from sourcing a pipeline, to building relationships and supporting once they’re live. You will work directly with the CEO to strategize and close deals, and be the primary company representative for the majority of interactions. You will have a huge amount of autonomy while steering crypto’s next unicorn to its potential. We are building a $1B+ protocol while keeping the team extremely lean (<10), so you will have significant upside as we grow.

You must be elite at:

• Being a charismatic, high energy representative of the company for 20+ external calls/meetings per week
• Building relationships with decision makers at DeFi and TradFi companies
• Explaining a protocol’s unique benefits vs competitors simply
• Maximizing your productivity with the latest AI tools

Bonus points if you’re:

• Crypto native - self custody crypto and regularly use popular protocols
• A high school or college dropout
• The most locked in person you know

To apply, dm @samee_rift on telegram with:

• 2-3 sentences on your background + why you’re excited about this
• A list of potential integrators that you have an existing relationship with + are confident you can get to close (this can be anyone moving assets on chain - wallets, dapps, aggregators, fintechs, prime brokers, trading firms, custodians, etc)

A bit about Rift:

Today over 90% of crypto is traded on centralized exchanges ($12T/yr in spot). This is because assets users want to trade are fragmented across chains, making it impossible to do without middlemen. The protocols that attempt to solve this today have much worse rates, swap amounts, asset selection, and UX compared to their centralized alternatives.

We solved this by creating a multichain trading protocol that allows for trading native assets in size, with verifiably lowest price execution. This is possible with a new primitive: multichain smart contracts (protocol nodes run inside TEEs), unlocking previously impossible onchain actions which we’re just scratching the surface of.

We recently raised a seed round from the top fund in crypto (Paradigm), are live on Ethereum and Base with the best rate BTC trading, and just went live with our first integrators. We are expanding to every major chain in the coming weeks.
