Soft Skills: Exceptional organization and communication skills with a low-ego, high-ownership mindset. Impact: Join a protocol with over $9 billion in supplied assets, positioning your work as the new standard for DeFi lending. Funding: Work for a highly stable and well-funded organization backed by major industry VCs.
