We partner with disruptive organizations to help identify and attract talent. A boutique recruitment agency that focuses on blockchain and web3. We enjoy networking with Web3 and decentralization enthusiasts and help them find their place in the decentralized world.

📋 Description

• Conduct in-depth risk assessments of DeFi protocols (AMMs, lending markets, bridges, LSTs, etc.) being considered for collateral onboarding. • Analyze smart contract, liquidity, counterparty, and market risks across protocols and assets. • Develop and refine risk models and frameworks for evaluating new collateral types (on-chain and off-chain). • Collaborate with engineers and governance participants to present risk evaluations, dashboards, and scenario analyses. • Monitor the ongoing performance and risk exposure of existing collateral types. • Produce clear, data-driven reports and recommendations for governance and internal stakeholders. • Stay ahead of DeFi trends, exploits, and evolving risk practices, incorporating learnings into Sky’s risk frameworks.

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in risk management, DeFi analysis, or financial research (traditional risk experience + DeFi exposure also welcome). • Strong understanding of DeFi protocols and primitives: DEXs, lending markets, liquid staking, collateralized stablecoins, bridges. • Familiarity with smart contract risks (audits, known exploits, systemic vulnerabilities). • Proficiency with on-chain data analysis (e.g., Dune, Flipside, Nansen, or direct node/graph queries). • Strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills, with the ability to translate findings into clear risk recommendations. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for governance and internal reporting.

🏖️ Benefits

• The opportunity to shape the risk management backbone of one of the largest decentralized financial systems. • A highly collaborative environment working with experts across risk, engineering, and governance. • Competitive compensation (salary + token incentives). • Remote-first culture with flexible working arrangements.
