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. We build institutional-grade vaults for decentralized finance, delivering risk-adjusted onchain yields for capital at scale. Designed by the most vigilant, quantitative minds in crypto and informed by years of research. As of April 2025, Gauntlet manages risk and incentives covering over $42 billion in customer TVL.
Gauntlet continually publishes cutting-edge research that informs our risk models, alerts, and analysis, and is among the most cited institution — including academic institutions — in terms of peer-reviewed papers addressing DeFi as a subject. We’re a Series B company with around 75 employees, operating remote-first with a home base in New York City.
Our mission is to drive adoption and understanding in the financial systems of the future. The unique challenges of decentralized systems call for innovative approaches in mechanism design, smart contract development, and financial product utilization. Gauntlet leads in advancing this knowledge, ensuring safe progression through the evolving landscape of financial innovation.
Gauntlet is seeking Product Marketing Leads. We want an active trader, yield farmer, and overall crypto native degen. You will own the marketing strategy and execution for vault products on Morpho, Aera, Drift Protocol, dYdX, Symbiotic, and others. We want someone highly collaborative who works alongside content, product, BD, and other teams to plan the GTM via inbound marketing, develop vault strategy messaging for target users, and execute experiments across marketing channels to drive TVL growth, retention, and client success. You bring a growth marketing toolkit to the table, which includes optimizing content and social marketing for conversion, measuring experiment performance, and iterating fast.
You are familiar with various DeFi yield opportunities across EVM, Solana, and other ecosystems. You follow market narratives and metas and you’re terminally online on CT, Farcaster, and governance forums. You understand how risk-adjusted returns impact vault strategies and how to market these products to various target client profiles. This may include institutions, allocators of different sizes, and sophisticated on-chain consumers. You’ve led marketing for a DeFi protocol or exchange. You’re experienced in ecosystem and community co-marketing, B2B SaaS sales cycles, and attribution.
