📋 Description

• Continuously monitor on-chain and off-chain portfolio risk: funding rates, open interest, leverage distribution, skew, basis risk, and liquidation cascades. • Detect and investigate anomalous on-chain behavior (large position builds, oracle attacks, flash-loan driven liquidations, MEV-related manipulation attempts) in real time • Design and run extreme stress tests and scenario analysis tailored to DeFi-specific risks (oracle failures, peg breaks, cross-protocol contagion, funding rate explosions, liquidity droughts) • Lead risk parameter governance: open interest, slippage, collateral factor etc. • Build and maintain internal risk dashboards, liquidation simulators, and monitoring tools in Python/SQL; integrate with on-chain data via Dune,, The Graph, or direct node queries • Collaborate with protocol engineers on risk engine upgrades, circuit breakers, and pause-guardian logic

🎯 Requirements

• 3–7+ years in market/liquidation risk, with at least 2 years focused on DeFi protocols, decentralized exchanges, or Crypto Exchanges • Direct experience managing risk for decentralized perpetuals platforms is a massive advantage • Deep understanding of perpetuals-specific risks: funding rate arbitrage, open interest imbalances, basis risk, index price manipulation, liquidation engine griefing • Strong Python (pandas, NumPy, jupyter) and SQL; experience pulling and analyzing on-chain data (Dune SQL, Flipside, custom subgraphs) • Comfortable reading and auditing Solidity risk/limit modules and proposing parameter changes via governance • Familiarity with modern DeFi tooling: The Graph, Dune Analytics, Chaos Labs, Sentio, or similar risk platforms is a strong plus • Excellent communication – you can explain a potential liquidation cascade to engineers, governance participants, and the public with equal clarity • Extreme ownership and ability to operate autonomously in a fully remote, high-intensity environment
