Non Tech Jobs: Finance Manager

About Ethena Labs:

Ethena Labs is pioneering the development of the first yield-bearing synthetic dollar based on the Ethereum network. With Arthur Hayes as a founding advisor, our team boasts extensive experience in both traditional finance and crypto engineering, hailing from reputable firms such as Cerberus, Wintermute, Flow Traders, Deribit, Paradigm, Aave, Blockdaemon, and Kaiko. We enjoy support from every major exchange and trading entity in the crypto space.

What We are Doing:

Our mission is to construct derivative infrastructure that empowers Ethereum to evolve into the Internet Bond through delta-neutral derivatives positions, ultimately creating the first crypto-native, yield-bearing synthetic dollar: sUSDe.

We firmly believe that solving the challenge of creating a synthetic dollar independent of existing banking infrastructure is the most crucial issue and significant opportunity in the crypto sphere today.

USDe will serve as the initial component of a comprehensive ecosystem of products, including fixed and floating rate internet bonds and composable repo leveraged markets.
