What They’ll Do
  • Drive partnerships with rollups, searchers, solvers, and intent-centric protocols
  • Own the full BD lifecycle: sourcing leads, building relationships, managing integrations, and tracking impact
  • Represent us at key industry events, conferences, and working groups (L2 Days, MEV Summit, ETHGlobal, etc.)
  • Work closely with the research and engineering teams to align product strategy with real partner needs
  • Map out emerging trends in sequencing, cross-chain MEV, and intent-based architecture—and translate those into business opportunities
  • Write, speak, and tweet (optionally) about our mission to make rollups economically sovereign and MEV-transparent
About the Candidate
  • Strong familiarity with Ethereum, rollups, and MEV—likely already following or contributing to research, tooling, or governance discussions in the space
  • Understanding of the sequencing stack well enough to speak with researchers, searchers, and infrastructure teams with confidence
  • Background in BD/partnerships, or deep experience embedded in crypto communities with readiness to level up
  • Clear, persuasive communicator able to adapt across audiences—whether on a call with a founder, in a Telegram thread, or at a conference booth
  • Self-directed and outcome-driven, able to move things forward without a big team or top-down roadmap
  • Comfortable thriving in ambiguity and connecting the dots between tech, strategy, and people
Bonus Points
  • Experience at an L2, MEV protocol, wallet, searcher team, or DeFi app
  • Familiarity with cross-chain intents, auction-based inclusion, or sequencing markets
  • Past contributions to public research, governance, or technical writing
