DeFi Specialist

A DeFi specialist works with decentralized finance, which is financial services like trading, lending, and earning interest that run on blockchain networks instead of through banks. Depending on your role, you might write and test smart contracts, analyze how a protocol behaves under stress, monitor on-chain data, design token and incentive systems, or explain risks to users and teams. Days include reading code and documentation, running simulations, tracking markets, and discussing proposals with colleagues who often work across time zones.
