### **About the company:**
DELV develops new protocols for new markets to advance the safe adoption of decentralized financial systems by building novel, research-backed, and open source infrastructure.
Our flagship site Hyperdrive.box (https://hyperdrive.box/), supports two products, Hyperdrive One and Fixed Borrow. Hyperdrive One creates access to a new automated market maker (AMM) protocol DELV developed for fixed and multiplied variable rates generated from reputable yield sources in DeFi. Fixed Borrow protects borrowers from rising interest by setting a projected cap on their borrowing interest rate costs. || Learn more here: https://blog.delv.tech/.
Working at DELV is a rare and exciting opportunity to build on the cutting edge of DeFi to help shape the future of trustless ownership and programmatic markets of crypto-native assets.
### **About the role:**
We are looking for an exceptionally talented, and growth-oriented individual with extensive experience in decentralized finance or similar traditional finance role to help bring new liquidity and users to the Hyperdrive ecosystem. 
We’ve already seen early traction with $3M of TVL in the protocol. And we see a massive opportunity to help spread awareness about the unique advantages of Hyperdrive’s security and novel market structure that can reliably serve the short, medium, and long-term goals of treasury and portfolio managers. 
In this role, you will be one of the primary faces of DELV helping to amplify important narratives, such as the advantages of Hyperdrive’s LP experience over alternatives, why selected yield sources are reputable, and the positions/strategies/products available to traders.This person will be expected to have a confident grasp of both the traditional finance and DeFi ecosystem, the ability to establish trust immediately, and the technical aptitude to become an expert in the protocols we work on. 
A growth mindset, experience in DeFi, passion for creative strategies, and close understanding of capital allocation decision makers (treasury managers, portfolio managers, traders) are required.
