Job Description:
About the Company
We are building the execution layer for on-chain trading: a Solana-based rollup featuring sub-millisecond latency and a throughput of over 30,000 orders per second. As we transition from build to scale, we are hiring a Business Development Lead to convert this technical advantage into liquidity, volume, revenue, and market presence.
The project is backed by a syndicate of top-tier venture capital firms and institutional crypto investors.
The Role
You will own commercial outcomes across market makers, trading firms, whales, liquid investors, and key ecosystem partners. This is a high-leverage role focused on sourcing, closing, and scaling the deals that define our liquidity and growth trajectory.
This is a commercial seat responsible for capturing value, structuring deals, and driving core liquidity rather than a traditional "partnerships" role.
Responsibilities
- Lead and Close High-Impact Deals: Drive negotiations with market makers, liquidity providers, and institutional counterparties.
- Negotiate Terms: Secure favorable fee structures, liquidity commitments, and strategic alignment or exclusivity.
- Build Commercial Frameworks: Develop deal flow evaluation, pricing strategies, and playbooks for various market participants.
- Shape Product Growth: Work cross-functionally to design incentive structures, rebates, and affiliate economics.
- External Representation: Act as the face of the company at industry events and high-value meetings.
Requirements
- 3+ years in Business Development, Institutional Sales, or Commercial Strategy.
- Experience in: Crypto exchanges, market makers, trading firms, or major DeFi protocols (DEXs/Derivatives).
- Proven Track Record: Demonstrated ability to close complex, high-value deals and manage commercial structuring.
- Network: Existing relationships with institutional traders, funds, and market makers.
- Attributes: Commercially sharp, structured, and outcome-driven.
What Success Looks Like
- Measurable increases in liquidity depth, trading volume, and revenue.
- A repeatable, high-quality deal pipeline with efficient execution.
- The establishment of the platform as a top-tier venue for high-performance on-chain trading.
Why Join?
- Shape the commercial foundation of a next-generation trading network.
- Competitive compensation package including meaningful token incentives.
- Collaborate with a high-velocity, product-driven technical team.
