Somnia is a company that seems to explore the realms of imagination and subconscious experiences, as suggested by its thought-provoking questions about what one sees when they close their eyes. Their focus may be on introspective experiences or technologies related to enhancing or understanding dreams and vision.

📋 Description

• Own the risk surface of the perp book: margin thresholds, the six-stage liquidation waterfall, ADL conditions, insurance-fund sizing, oracle risk and concentration/position limits • Define the dashboards, alerts and intervention thresholds we need, and monitor book health in real time • Own the incident playbook for market stress: cascading liquidations, oracle deviation and thin-book events • Run DreamVault, our in-house market-making and liquidation engine: strategy, inventory and PnL • Build systematic strategies that seed liquidity and depth on the book, especially beyond SOMI and stablecoin pairs • Model the yield-bearing-book incentives and keep our own quoting aligned with them • Feed risk and market-structure requirements back to product: what the dashboards are missing, what the ruleset needs, what MMs are doing to us

🎯 Requirements

• A genuine hybrid profile: quant / systematic-trading depth combined with exchange risk-management experience • Hands-on perp DEX experience: you know funding, margin and liquidation mechanics in an on-chain setting, not just from a CEX seat • Ability to move from a risk dashboard to a strategy backtest to a production quant codebase without a translator • Comfort with a fully on-chain venue where every rule is public and enforced algorithmically • AI-native working style: you use AI tooling daily across research, monitoring and code, and you're excited to build for a venue where AI agents are first-class users • Sound judgement under market stress and the ownership to act on it • Built or run a market-making bot in production (Nice to Have) • Experience at a prop shop, market maker or derivatives desk (CEX or TradFi) on top of DEX experience (Nice to Have) • Used AI agents or LLM tooling in strategy or monitoring workflows (Nice to Have) • Familiarity with reactive, event-driven execution (Somnia exposes native on-chain reactivity as a core primitive) (Nice to Have)

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation with token incentives
