Job Description

Who We Are

Ethena Labs is pioneering the development of a crypto-based reward-accruing synthetic dollar protocol. With Arthur Hayes as a founding advisor, our team boasts significant expertise in both traditional finance and crypto engineering, with experience from firms such as Cerberus, Wintermute, Flow Traders, Deribit, Paradigm, GMX, Zircuit, Chainlink, and Kaiko. We receive support from major exchanges and trading entities within the crypto space.

What We Are Doing

Our mission involves creating two interconnected products: a crypto-native synthetic dollar (USDe) and an Internet Bond (sUSDe) designed to accumulate rewards via a delta-neutral derivatives portfolio. We are solving what we believe to be the single most crucial challenge and opportunity in the crypto industry today—creating a synthetic dollar independent of existing banking infrastructure. USDe represents the initial step towards a comprehensive suite of products we envision, including fixed and floating rate Internet bonds and composable repo markets.

  • Stay informed about compliance standards and regulations in key jurisdictions to guide your efforts.

What We’re Looking For

  • Comprehensive understanding of financial regulations including AML, CFT, KYC, and data privacy laws.
  • Familiarity with the regulatory landscape for digital assets, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins, locally and globally (e.g., FATF guidelines, EU MiCA, SEC regulations).
  • Experience conducting risk assessments and implementing effective internal controls.
  • Expertise in creating, implementing, and overseeing comprehensive AML/CFT compliance programs.
  • Proficient in conducting internal audits, identifying compliance gaps, and implementing corrective actions.

Salary: $120,000 - $150,000 a year
