Midas is pioneering the future of asset tokenization by offering exposure to institutional-grade securities and structured products onchain – accessible, global, and compliant. Co-founded by Dennis Dinkelmeyer (Goldman Sachs) and serial entrepreneur Fabrice Grinda (FJLabs, OLX), Midas aims to bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized finance.

Since launching in October 2024, Midas has grown to over $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) across its range of investment products, reflecting strong product-market fit and demand. The company raised a $9m seed round from top-tier investors including BlockTower, Framework Ventures, Coinbase Ventures and others – and is scaling its go‑to‑market engine and hiring exceptional talent to accelerate distribution.

We’re hiring an Investment Risk Analyst to build and own a holistic risk function across traditional and digital assets. You’ll design our risk framework, aggregate and communicate investment exposures, and lead the build out of a unified risk dashboard with engineering. The role reports to the Head of Risk & Tokenization and collaborates closely with leadership.

Risk Frameworks & Monitoring

• Build and maintain frameworks for investment, counterparty, leverage, duration, and liquidity risk.
• Propose and monitor risk limits; escalate breaches and recommend remediation.
• Conduct scenario analysis and stress tests across crypto and traditional portfolios.
• Analyze basis trades, futures, options, swaps, levered positions, structured credit strategies, and private credit exposures.

Exposure Aggregation & Communication

• Aggregate exposures across protocols, exchanges, and managers.
• Maintain clear reporting of counterparty exposures.
• Deliver concise, transparent exposure reports to leadership and the investment comittee.
• Ensure everyone in the organization has visibility on where risks sit.

Infrastructure & Tooling

• Scope and manage tools that generate reports, alerts, and flags.
• Lead the build of a risk dashboard, defining metrics, thresholds, and reporting cadence.
• Work with engineering to implement; technical literacy (SQL/Python basics) expected, but not heavy coding.

Asset Manager Onboarding

• Evaluate new managers/strategies from a risk perspective.
• Focus on identifying and monitoring high-quality strategies.
• Provide continuous monitoring of onboarded managers.

Coverage Across Assets

• Incorporate both on-chain and CeFi risks, as well as traditional financial instruments.

• Experience: 5–8 years in investment risk management, trading, or portfolio research, plus exposure to crypto markets (ideally at a trading firm, market maker, or hedge fund).
• Knowledge: Strong grasp of market risk concepts: leverage/margin, basis trades, liquidity, volatility, derivatives (futures, options, swaps). Understanding of credit and counterparty risk: limits, collateral, netting, tenor, concentration. Familiarity with private credit, CLOs, structured credit, and commodities strategies.
• Technical Literacy (soft requirement): Comfortable scoping data requirements, learning basic SQL/Python, and self-solving with tools like ChatGPT; can work effectively with engineers.
• Mindset: Analytical, inward-looking, detail-oriented, and passionate about risk; able to translate complex risks into clear insights.
• Communication: Able to produce crisp written and verbal reports for leadership and board-level governance.
