Company

hirify.global builds the ecosystem around Monad, a performant and parallel EVM Layer 1 blockchain designed for decentralized applications and high-frequency on-chain trading.

What you will do

• Bring leading trading applications—including perps and spot DEXs, aggregators, trading terminals, and bots—to the Monad network.
• Build and manage a pipeline of trading startups from initial contact through launch, working with VCs and accelerators.
• Coordinate technical onboarding with core contributors, scope liquidity and ecosystem incentive programs, manage launch logistics, and track post-launch volume and retention.
• Represent trading on Monad through content, interviews, podcasts, panels, and speaking opportunities.
• Gather market intelligence on trader needs, competing chains, and funded subverticals to inform ecosystem priorities.
• Develop commercial proposals using metrics such as retained-user cost, sustained volume after incentives, and network activity impact.

Requirements

• Trading-native background as an active trader or in a non-quant BD, product, or growth role at a trading protocol; generalist BD experience alone is insufficient.
• Deep network among traders and trading teams that choose where to build and trade.
• Fluency in onchain trading mechanics, including AMMs, orderbooks, execution quality, MEV, and liquidity incentives.
• Ability to model incentive-program retention, explain trading-team revenue drivers, and work effectively with engineers and quants.
• Strong written, public-speaking, and one-to-one communication skills.
• High ownership, trustworthiness, and reliable follow-through.

Nice to have

• Relationships with VCs and accelerators that fund trading teams.
• Access to specialized subnetworks such as launchpads, perps, prediction markets, or memecoin trading.
• Relationships with market makers.

Culture & Benefits

• Remote, full-time role with end-to-end ownership, autonomy, and impact.
• Work across ecosystem, DeFi, marketing, and events, alongside core contributors on technical onboarding.
• Lean, collaborative team culture with low ego and high-quality output.
• Opportunity to address technically demanding problems in a high-performance EVM ecosystem and contribute to on-chain finance.
• Work within an ecosystem supported by investors, builders, and long-term contributors.
