Job Description

Steakhouse Financial’s mission is to pioneer open and transparent finance. We build transparent, efficient, and accessible financial primitives to power the next generation of capital markets on public blockchains. We empower leading DAOs and crypto-native companies including Sky (FKA MakerDAO), Lido, Morpho, Ethena, and ENS through strategic, risk, and financial advisory. Our primary focus areas include real-world assets (RWAs), stablecoins, cultivating efficient lending markets, market making, and engaging in proprietary trading to boost market liquidity and health. We are gathering the finest minds in finance, legal, data, engineering, and now risk, to build the future of finance.

About the Role

As the Senior Risk Analyst, you will directly influence DeFi markets. You’ll analyze assets, oversee vital systems, ensure smooth execution, and play a key role in the future of financial markets. Our Morpho vaults have over $300M in deposits, utilizing both traditional (Real-World Asset) and innovative DeFi protocol tokens as collateral. This demands the capacity to grasp both TradFi and DeFi concepts (duration, legal setup, code, decentralization, etc.).

Responsibilities

• Lead the analysis of prospective new collateral types for Steakhouse Morpho vaults.
• Conduct thorough risk assessments of existing and novel crypto-assets to identify, evaluate, and measure market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks.
• Proactively monitor markets to mitigate and reduce risks.
• Develop and maintain real-time dashboards to track key risk indicators (KRIs) and risk exposure across Morpho vaults.
• Prepare regular risk reports for leadership, simplifying complex data into actionable insights.
• Communicate significant findings and emerging risks to relevant stakeholders promptly.
• Design and implement risk mitigation strategies, including parameter adjustments (e.g., collateral ratios) to ensure vault solvency.
• Develop and perform stress-test methodologies to assess vault resilience under extreme market conditions (e.g., sudden price drops, liquidity crises).
• Propose vault-level contingency plans, including pause mechanisms or circuit breakers, for worst-case scenarios.
• Research and recommend improvements and optimizations to existing vaults, while ideating on future products.
• Stay updated with DeFi industry developments, protocol upgrades, and new opportunities impacting vaults.
• Create and maintain comprehensive risk management policies and standard operating procedures for the vaults.
• Regularly review and refine analytics tools, risk models, and frameworks to adapt to the fast-paced DeFi environment.
• Support the development of new products and strategic opportunities leveraging decentralized finance infrastructure.

We’re Looking for Someone With:

• 5+ years of risk analysis in a TradFi and/or DeFi environment.
• Deep understanding of financial markets.
• Capacity to read and understand smart contracts.
• Proficiency in data analysis using Python (Jupyter).
• SQL skills (DuneSQL).
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves and get involved.
• Highly detail-oriented.
• Proactive and autonomous.
• DeFi user experience.

What’s In It for You:

• Be part of an ecosystem that encourages transparency and alignment with open-source methodologies and principles.
• Participate in shaping the future of financial markets.
• Contribute to high-impact projects that drive the growth of decentralized finance.
• Competitive compensation including bonus and equity.
• Work within a remote, highly collaborative team of diverse experts.
• 100% remote work with opportunities to travel for team events and conferences.
