• Support the financial planning and operational strategy for headcount growth and resource allocation in a high-growth software development environment.
• Lead investor reporting by preparing comprehensive financial updates that include both traditional company metrics and tokenomics insights.
• Analyze key metrics such as headcount productivity, operating expenses, token circulation, and blockchain transaction volumes to provide strategic recommendations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering and product, to align financial plans with company objectives, including token management strategies and operational growth.
• Conduct scenario analysis and modeling to support investment decisions, token management, and operational scaling.
• Prepare materials for executive and board-level discussions, presenting a holistic view of the company’s performance, including blockchain/tokenomics and broader financial data.
• Drive process improvement in financial planning, reporting, and systems to enhance scalability and efficiency, incorporating blockchain analytics tools where relevant.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field. Advanced degrees or certifications are not required.
• 3–5 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or investment banking, with exposure to blockchain, tokenomics, or high-growth technology companies a strong plus.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with expertise in financial modeling and a solid understanding of blockchain financial ecosystems.

• Strong preference for candidates in the Pacific Time Zone.

• Join a mission-driven team at the forefront of blockchain, tokenomics, and software innovation.
• Work in a collaborative, inclusive environment that values creativity and professional growth.
