With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in‑person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.

• Negotiate, prepare, and close all legal contracts within the lending business.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to qualify and structure credit opportunities to scale our lending business.
• Move and track collateral across multiple venues and business lines in order to optimize utilization, yield and funding
• Create detailed memos and runbooks on operationalization of current as well future funding facilities across CeFi and DeFi
• Originate and manage key external funding partner relationships
• Regularly analyze risks levels and market trends to identify areas of optimization and lead improvements

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• 6+ years of experience in credit trading and/or financial products structuring. Experience at a tier 1 investment bank strongly preferred.
• Deep knowledge of crypto markets, especially as relates to financing. Experience with lending or related role at a top crypto platform strongly preferred.
• Experience structuring and developing complex financial products with large institutions as well as startups.
• Strong familiarity with legal and regulatory requirements for US financial products.
• Experience building strong cross‑functional partnerships with legal, operations, compliance, sales and business teams.
• A highly collaborative, team player mindset
• An entrepreneurial drive, with the creativity and initiative to deliver solutions to client demand and generate revenue.
• Strong risk management acumen and experience developing processes and control frameworks to ensure sustainable, risk‑managed growth.
• A detail‑oriented and highly organized method of working
• Excellent analytical and communication skills

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• Ability to write scripts (e.g., Bash scripts, Python scripts) to automate manual processes and familiarity with Python for data manipulation and analysis
