Job Responsibilities
• Full-Chain Yield Opportunity Scanning: Monitor major public blockchains such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana. Conduct comprehensive scans of mid- to low-complexity strategies—including staking, re-staking, lending, and yield aggregation—for core assets (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, SOL, XRP) to uncover ultra-low-risk value-enhancement opportunities.
• Strategy Research and Implementation: Analyze leading DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave, Lido, MakerDAO) to understand their economic models and risk mechanisms. Design stable-yield strategies tailored to the firm’s AUM, avoiding complex operations such as MEV arbitrage and liquidation arbitrage.
• Risk Management: Establish an asset return–risk assessment framework. Continuously monitor protocol security audit reports and on-chain fund flows (using tools like Dune Analytics and Nansen). Issue timely alerts on potential risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities and market volatility.
• AUM Support Management: Based on strategy backtesting results and market dynamics, provide AUM allocation recommendations. Collaborate with the team on portfolio rebalancing to ensure annualized return targets are met.
• Reporting: Produce periodic asset performance analysis reports covering strategy outcomes, risk exposures, and market trends to support decision-making.
Qualifications
• Education: Bachelor’s degree or above in Financial Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field preferred. 1–3 years of DeFi research or trading experience in the crypto industry.
• Professional Skills:
– Proficient with on-chain analytics tools (Dune Analytics, Nansen, DeFiLlama) to identify high-value yield opportunities through data-driven insights.
– In-depth understanding of lending, staking, and re-staking protocol mechanisms, including cross-chain workflows for at least three core asset classes.
– Strong Python skills for data analysis (Pandas/NumPy), capable of conducting strategy backtesting and data visualization.
• Risk Awareness: Exceptional ability to identify and assess risks. Clear understanding of black-swan event dynamics (e.g., UST/LUNA) and skilled in developing hedging strategies.
• Industry Sensitivity: Actively track DeFi protocol updates and regulatory developments to promptly capture emerging yield opportunities and mitigate risks arising from policy or technological changes.
