Gauntlet leads the field in quantitative research and optimization of DeFi economics. We manage market risk, optimize growth, and ensure economic safety for protocols facilitating most spot trading, borrowing, and lending activity across all of DeFi, protecting and optimizing the largest protocols and networks in the industry. We build institutional-grade vaults for decentralized finance, delivering risk-adjusted onchain yields for capital at scale. Designed by the most vigilant, quantitative minds in crypto and informed by years of research. As of April 2025, Gauntlet manages $1.5B in vault TVL, and optimizes risk and incentives covering over $42 billion in customer TVL.
We continually publish cutting-edge research that informs our risk models, alerts, and analysis, and is among the most cited institutions — including academic institutions — in terms of peer-reviewed papers addressing DeFi as a subject. We’re a Series B company with 75 employees, operating remote-first with a home base in New York City.
As a company, we build institutional-grade vaults that deliver risk-adjusted DeFi yields at scale, powered by automated risk models and off-chain intelligence. Gauntlet curates strategies across Morpho, Drift, Symbiotic, Aera and more, with >$1B in vault TVL and a growing suite of Prime, Core and Frontier vaults.
Our mission is to drive adoption and understanding of the financial systems of the future. We operate with a trader’s discipline and a risk manager’s skepticism: size carefully, stress routinely, unwind decisively. The label equals the package equals the contents. No surprises, just predictable, reliable vaults.
About the Role
Gauntlet builds solutions that apply off-chain intelligence to drive on-chain efficiency. We help partners monitor, understand, and capitalize on economic risk, and we measure success with clear, trusted metrics. This role owns the productization of Gauntlet’s core metrics for both internal decision making and external transparency.
You will define what we measure, how we measure it, and how the company and our community consume it. You will partner with Product, Engineering, Data, Finance, and Growth to deliver accurate, timely, and consistent reporting across vaults and platform features.
