Risk Analyst

We are hiring a risk analyst for our DeFi hedge fund: someone who knows both DeFi and traditional finance well.

The core of the job is to take apart the fund's strategies and positions, work out where and under what conditions we could lose money, and propose concrete ways to manage that risk.

What you will do

• Break down each strategy and position to find where, and under what conditions, we could lose money.
• Assess concentration, correlations, and shared sources of risk across positions, including what could hit several strategies at once.
• Test scenarios: a sharp market move, a rate spike, a wave of withdrawals.
• Estimate how fast we can exit a position and how much we would lose doing it.
• Propose position sizes, limits, and the metrics to monitor, along with the conditions under which we should cut or close a position.
• Explain your conclusions clearly to the team.

What we are looking for

• Understanding of financial mechanics. Sources of yield, interest rates, the cost of borrowed capital, leverage, collateral, and liquidations.
• Deep understanding of DeFi risk. Liquidity, stablecoin depegs, smart contract and oracle risk, and dependencies between protocols. You can work out how a new product is built on your own.
• A portfolio-level view. You think in terms of the whole book, not one position at a time.
• Comfort with data and scenarios. You turn a risk into numbers we can act on.
• Practical recommendations. Your output is a decision the team can make, not only an observation.

Nice to have

Experience in traditional finance. We especially value someone who can apply that background to real DeFi strategies.
