About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and self-reliant DeFi Analyst to design, build, and manage decentralized finance DeFi strategies. This role requires a hands-on approach to implement portfolio automation, monitor risks, and optimize performance independently—there is no dedicated technical team.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Development & Automation:

Develop custom scripts to interact with DeFi protocols, track liquidity, and execute transactions.

Implement monitoring systems to detect protocol updates, risks, and yield opportunities in real-time.

Portfolio Operations & Yield Optimization:

Design, execute, and optimize yield farming strategies.

Actively rebalance the portfolio to adapt to changing market conditions.

Execute platform transactions (setup, exit, rebalancing, limit adjustments) independently.

Risk Management:

Monitor and evaluate smart contracts for vulnerabilities and risks.

Analyze liquidity pools and ensure risk-adjusted returns across the portfolio.

Proactively respond to protocol changes and ensure funds are secure.

Research & Insights:

Conduct in-depth research into DeFi protocols, tokenomics, and market trends.

Evaluate and recommend new yield strategies or platforms based on technical feasibility.

Communicate findings through detailed reports and actionable recommendations.

Requirements

Technical Must-Haves:

• Ability to build systems independently without external tech support.
• Proficiency in coding for blockchain interactions, such as Python, JavaScript, or Solidity.
• Experience with DeFi tools and APIs for tracking, automating, and executing transactions.
• Familiarity with blockchain technology and smart contracts (especially Ethereum and Layer 2 ecosystems).

Experience Must-Haves:

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in DeFi, crypto, or related fields (asset management, risk management, etc.).
• Deep understanding of liquidity pools, staking mechanisms, and yield farming strategies.
• A proven track record of managing and optimizing portfolios in a fast-paced environment.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to self-start and solve complex problems.

Other Skills:

• Strong organizational, time management, and planning capabilities.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
