About The Position

We are seeking a highly analytical, execution-driven DeFi Operations Specialist to join BTH. This role sits at the intersection of traditional treasury management and cutting-edge decentralized finance. You will be responsible for the day-to-day execution, risk monitoring, and operational lifecycle of capital deployed across automated market makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing markets, and native yield protocols. The ideal candidate possesses deep on-chain literacy, a firm understanding of crypto-economic incentives, and an institutional mindset regarding capital preservation, interest rate tracking, and risk infrastructure. Note: This role can be based in the Cayman Islands or New York.

Requirements

5+ years in a financial operations, trading support, or treasury management role, with at least 1-2 years of professional experience directly within Web3/DeFi.
Deep knowledge of DeFI Protocols, lend/borrow dynamics (over-collateralization, variable vs. fixed rates) and yield mechanics (liquid staking/restaking tokens, LP provisioning).
Proficient with block explorers (Etherscan, Solscan, etc.), institutional infrastructure (Fireblocks, Fordefi), and hardware security modules.
Strong foundational knowledge of traditional finance principles, specifically yield curves, time-value of money, interest rate derivatives, and risk-adjusted return profiles.
Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling capability.
Familiarity with Python, SQL, or Dune Analytics to query on-chain data would be helpful.
Extreme attention to detail.
Capable of operating calmly and methodically in a fast-paced, high-stakes 24/7 trading environment.

Responsibilities

Safely execute capital deployment, rebalancing, supply, and borrow actions across major DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave, Morpho, Curve, Uniswap, etc.) under firm-approved guardrails.
Actively monitor interest rate fluctuations, borrow costs, and utilization rates across different EVM and non-EVM networks. Identify inefficiencies and map out capital reallocation strategies to optimize net interest margins.
Manage institutional-grade multi-sig workflows, warm/cold wallet setups, and secure cross-chain bridging infrastructure. Assure strict adherence to operational security protocols.
Assist in daily reconciliation of deployed capital, collateral ratios, accrued interest, earned yield, and reward token harvests. Interface directly with internal accounting and finance teams.
Proactively monitor health factors, collateralization ratios, and protocol-specific risk profiles (e.g., bad debt accumulation, oracle health, de-pegging risks) to prevent liquidation events.
Maintain and improve quantitative models evaluating yield sensitivity, liquidity depth, and partnership economics for prospective new DeFi integrations.
