About the Company
Gauntlet is a leader in quantitative research and DeFi economics optimization, specializing in risk management, growth facilitation, and ensuring the economic robustness of key DeFi protocols. Managing over $13 billion in customer TVL as of January 2024, their efforts are vital to the industry's leading protocols.

As a Series B company with a 60-member team, they operate on a remote-first basis from New York City. Gauntlet's mission is to drive adoption and understanding in the financial systems of the future.

About the job
Gauntlet leads the field in quantitative research and optimization of DeFi economics. We manage market risk, optimize growth, and ensure economic safety for protocols facilitating most spot trading, borrowing, and lending activity across all of DeFi, protecting and optimizing the largest protocols and networks in the industry.
