About The Position

We are looking for a Founding Senior Protocol Engineer to lead the design and development of the Button protocol.

Environments like Hyperliquid expand the design area of protocols significantly, where the protocol can now tap into liquid perp markets and new yield opportunities. In this role, you will lead all protocol development for Button, working closely with the CTO to reimagine the next generation of lending and debt markets.
