Crypto • Web 3

Aave Labs is the development arm behind the Aave ecosystem, building decentralized finance (DeFi) primitives such as the GHO stablecoin and working on Web3 social infrastructure like the Lens protocol. The organization focuses on blockchain-based financial products, smart-contract development, and decentralized social tooling within the crypto/Web3 space.

📋 Description

• Modeling and validating the economics of Aave products — including yield mechanics, rate dynamics, risk parameters, and scenario analysis • Contributing to the design of new products and protocol mechanisms alongside engineering and product teams • Supporting growth-side decisions where quantitative input is valuable — asset listings, incentive design, partner economics • Building tooling and dashboards that make quantitative reasoning a shared capability across the organization

🎯 Requirements

• Strong quantitative foundation — comfortable with stochastic processes, optimization, simulation, and statistical modeling • Deep DeFi fluency — you understand how lending markets, AMMs, and rate models actually work, and you've spent time tracing failure modes (liquidations, depegs, oracle issues, MEV) • Engineering capability — you can prototype your own models, and read/contribute to Solidity well enough to collaborate meaningfully with smart contract engineers • Communication — you can take quantitative work and explain it to non-quant stakeholders (founders, partners, growth, product) without losing rigor. You're comfortable in commercial conversations and can shape them with quantitative input rather than just answering questions. • Bias to ship — you treat models as decision-support tools, not academic artifacts. You ship work that influences what gets built • Nice to have: Published research or writing on DeFi economics, market microstructure, or related areas • Experience with formal methods, agent-based simulation, or mechanism design • Background contributing to open-source DeFi protocols • Experience operating in cross-functional environments where engineering and growth/BD intersect
