You’ll have real impact and real responsibility from day one.</li></ul><h2>How to Apply</h2><p>Send an email to <a>hello@no.ca</a> with:</p><ol><li>A brief note on your DeFi experience and what you’ve managed/operated (not a cover letter essay)</li><li>Your CV or LinkedIn</li><li>One example of a DeFi risk you identified and how you handled it — can be a paragraph, a Dune query, a thread, whatever demonstrates how you think</li></ol><p>Don’t check every box? If you have strong DeFi fundamentals and think you’d be a good fit, apply anyway.</p><p><em>No recruiters. No generic applications. If you can’t articulate a specific DeFi risk scenario off the top of your head, this isn’t the role.</em></p>
