About the Company

Hi, we’re Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We are the first (and so far, only) company to tokenize exposure to US Treasuries. We are also focused on incubating protocols that can support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto. We’re fully remote, with team members across the U.S.

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly motivated and results-driven DeFi Business Development Manager to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the DeFi ecosystem, an extensive network of contacts in the industry, and a strong work ethic.

What we offer:

Highly competitive compensation including salary, tokens, and/or equity (according to your preferences) — we’re well-funded and believe that great talent deserves great compensation
Small, remote-first team — you’ll be an early team member helping shape our vision, culture, and BD practices
A+ colleagues — our leadership team includes alumni from Goldman Sachs Digital Assets, Fortress, Bridgewater, and MakerDAO
Best-in-class investors — we are proud to be backed by leading funds and strategics (incl. Founders Fund, Pantera, GoldenTree, Coinbase, and CoinFund) and angels (incl. founders of AngelList, Anchorage, and Aave)
Full benefits (medical, vision, and dental) and flexible vacation policy (PTO)
