Gauntlet’s mission is to drive adoption and understanding of the financial systems of the future. Gauntlet is the platform for off-chain intelligence that drives on-chain efficiency in Decentralized Finance (DeFi). We work with protocols to manage risk, improve capital efficiency, and manage incentive spend. We also publish cutting-edge research and aim to take a leading role in defining market risk standards across the industry.

Gauntlet is building infrastructure that allows us to simulate and stress-test blockchain protocols, contracts, and network interactions at scale over a wide range of market conditions. Our models ingest a wide range of on-chain and off-chain data, and are continuously calibrated to the current crypto market structure so that our recommendations are always up-to-date. These models and infrastructure power our platform that currently manages risk and optimizes incentives for over $40B in assets.

You will be working as part of an experienced team to develop industry-leading products and infrastructure that will enable DeFi to achieve greater efficiency and impact.

  • Build agent-based simulations of smart contracts and blockchain networks using our Python SDK
  • Design and optimize incentive models for blockchain protocols and help discover potential attack vectors
  • Contribute to making our simulation model and platform world-class
  • Build data models and visualizations of public blockchain data and simulation results that provide intuitive analytics to customers
    • Qualifications
  • Proficient at writing code in Python or similar languages
  • Experience with scientific computing packages such as Numpy/Scipy, Pandas, etc..
  • Experience with distributed computation frameworks such as Spark, Flink, TensorFlow
