- Hands-on DeFi fluency. You regularly use onchain products and can reason about liquidity, routing, slippage, staking, lending, bridges, protocol and smart-contract risk, and the user protections required for financial transactions
- Strong systems judgment across client applications, backend services, APIs or SDKs, distributed dependencies, monitoring, and operational response
- A record of setting direction in ambiguous environments, improving execution, and delivering reliable products across multiple platforms or surfaces
- Ability to partner closely with product, design, security, and senior technical leaders while maintaining clear engineering accountability
