🤝 **Values \& How do we work?**
The entire crypto space doesn't just move fast but is constantly accelerating. It’s hard building a DeFi product — it’s 24/7, 365 days a year, markets do not close, the ground beneath you can shift, assumptions can and do fail \& risk of burning out is real.
* We take our product and brand very seriously.
* If we see even a small flaw in our product, we always ask ourselves \- **Why isn't this perfect?**
* All members have perpetual autonomy to fix anything broken that we notice, and we do not wait for someone else to tell us what to do.
* Take extreme ownership of everything we do
* If the team fails, everyone fails, so prioritize and execute.
* We think long\-term, set big goals, and communicate with clear directions and goals to achieve them. Everyone must understand not just what they're doing but also why they are doing it.
* No egos, lead by example, and mutual accountability.
* Strive for clear and simple communication \- this is easier said than done but communicating the "why" of an issue is equally important as the "what.”
* All meetings have an agenda, with outcomes clearly defined as tasks and call\-to\-actions.
* Prioritize all tasks by \- what is more important for our users without compromising on any of the above goals.
**What We Offer**
* Unique opportunity to work with a small, focused \& ambitious team on very interesting projects and get the level of responsibility and ownership that would be unlikely at any other project.
* Great company culture: informal, non\-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional yet collaborative and entrepreneurial
* Sense of a Shared Mission
* Work on the latest technology, equipment, and web3 stack with dedicated budgets
* Flexible working hours
* Annual team retreat
* Competitive compensation
