Institute of Free Technology is a mission-driven tech startup studio. We take ideas from the drawing board to market with financial, technical, legal, people operations, and brand-building support at every step.

Our startups are free to focus on what they do best — building public goods to safeguard civil liberties in the digital age.

The role

We are building a Core Accounting function with the pace and discipline of an in-house Finance team in financial services or trading — timely management accounts delivered to FP&A on a tight cadence that compresses as the function matures; reliable books that downstream consumers can build on; problems owned and resolved within the function.

This position is a senior, autonomous hire responsible for ownership of the close and books integrity across a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group. Management accounts are the headline priority — the close cadence and data-quality standard are set to serve internal decision-making first; statutory treatments wrap around that, not the other way around.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly close and the timely publication of clean management accounts to FP&A on the agreed cadence. The deadline is cultural — met every month. The first phase is establishing the cadence and data-quality standards on a solid foundation; the cycle is then expected to compress over time as systems, controls and team capability mature.


• Own the integrity and quality of the books — accruals, reconciliations, journal entries, intercompany — to a standard that supports confident downstream use by FP&A, Exec and Investors.


• Define and enforce the data-quality boundary with Crypto Operations — on-chain transaction records arriving complete, reconciled and ready for entry to the books, with the upstream feedback loop owned where they don’t. The integrity of the books cannot be policed downstream of bad data.


• Own the statutory accounts and local filings for each of the group’s sister entities across multiple jurisdictions; coordinate with local accountancy firms where useful, expanding the network where it improves throughput or quality.


• Account confidently for complex financial instruments and digital-asset positions — options and FX hedges, DeFi positions, native token operations — and the IFRS / US GAAP treatments these require. Use Cryptio (and any external technical-accounting advice you commission) effectively.


• Own the financial-controls framework — segregation of duties, control owners, periodic review — and bring discipline and structure to the function.


• Lead, mentor and develop the small accounting team, with capacity and intent to expand. Hands-on enough to fix anything yourself, with a team that does the low-level work as it scales.


• Drive the adoption of AI and modern automation across Finance operations — in partnership with internal technical resources — progressively removing low-level work from the team and freeing capacity for higher-value activity. Pace calibrated to what the function can absorb at the time.


• Establish the function in a posture that is verifiably investor-diligence-ready by year-end, and maintain that posture as the business scales.


• Partner with FP&A (who own management commentary, variance analysis and dashboards), with Treasury / Crypto Operations (who hand over the on-chain transaction record), and with external service providers (local accountants, payroll provider) to keep the function running smoothly.

Must haves

• Recognised senior accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA or international equivalent), with significant post-qualification experience in industry — financial services, trading, banking, hedge funds, or a similarly fast-moving in-house Finance environment. You take problems on and drive them to resolution under your own initiative.


• Hands-on group controllership at multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction scale. You have personally closed and produced statutory accounts across multiple sister entities, dealt with intercompany, and effectively leveraged external advisor relationships (local accountants, payroll providers, etc.) for throughput.


• Comfortable accounting for complex financial instruments — options, FX hedges, derivatives, structured positions, fair-value vs. cost questions, mark-to-market. Crypto-specific accounting experience is useful but not the bar; the bar is fluency with the instruments and the judgement to handle whatever arrives in the books.


• Leader who is also operator. You will personally close the books some months, file stat accounts hands-on, and write the rare technical-accounting memo. Equally, you will lead a team that does most of the work most of the time — and you will hold them to your standard.


• Direct, accountable communicator. You surface problems early with proposed fixes, take responsibility when something goes wrong, and own the quality of what leaves your function.


• Strong bias for structure, automation and a forward view on where Finance is going. You design controls and close routines that work without you, and you see AI and modern automation as the default direction for the function — spotting opportunities, sponsoring the work, and partnering effectively with the technical resources who build the tooling. You don’t need to build it yourself, but you don’t wait for someone else to use it either.

Should haves

• Direct experience accounting for digital assets and DeFi positions — exposure to Cryptio, Bitwave, Tres, or equivalent sub-ledgers; familiarity with token accounting (own-token holdings, vesting schedules, governance tokens, token-for-equity).


• Experience preparing a Finance function for first-time external investor diligence on a finite timeline.


• Experience leading a small remote team across multiple time zones.


• Familiarity with the broader Finance stack — accounting systems, AP automation, sub-ledger integrations, reporting workflows.

AtlasOra · Remote · Full-Time

Incumbents charge hosts 20% and more. We charge 5.7%, all in. The difference is not a discount. It is a different machine underneath.

That machine is AO Protocol: on-chain settlement infrastructure for any business that holds float between the moment a customer pays and the moment a supplier is paid. Travel is where we start. It is not where this ends.

We have shipped V1. We have a live token. We now need someone to own the product surface that turns a working marketplace into an inevitable one.

The seat

Founding Product Manager. Broad by design.

You own the marketplace hosts and guests touch, and the protocol surfaces beneath it: settlement, payouts, dispute resolution. There is no product org to inherit. There is no playbook. You write it.

You will work directly with the founders, and alongside some of the most recognised names in this industry. We are not naming them yet. We will.

What the work is

• Own the roadmap across marketplace and protocol. Sequence it. Defend it.

  
  



• Turn a two-sided problem, host supply and guest demand, into things that ship.

  
  



• Work where product, money, and on-chain mechanics meet, and hold all three at once.

  
  



• Decide what to measure. Move it.

  
  



• Ship with a lean team. Talk to users more than to each other. Bring evidence.

  
  

Who this is for

You have shipped products real people used. You are comfortable where there is no process, because process is a thing you build, not a thing you wait for. You understand crypto well enough to be useful, or you will close that gap quickly and without being asked. You write plainly and decide fast.

You think incumbents got lazy. You would like to be in the room when that gets corrected.

Useful, not required

• Travel, fintech, payments, or marketplace experience

  
  



• On-chain settlement, stablecoins, DeFi primitives

  
  



• A founding or early PM seat that went somewhere

  
  

Terms

Fully remote. Equity and token participation. A direct line to the people making the decisions, and no committee between you and a shipped thing.

Monorail is an onchain trading and aggregation terminal. We aggregate fragmented liquidity across AMMs, orderbooks, and trading venues into a single trading experience designed around speed, execution quality, and trader-first discovery.

Today, Monorail is live on Monad and has already processed significant trading volume without incentives, becoming one of the most active trading applications in the ecosystem.

Our long-term vision is to unify execution and discovery across every major onchain trading vertical, including spot markets, prediction markets, perps, event-driven trading, and cross-chain liquidity routing. We believe the next generation of crypto users will increasingly behave like active traders rather than passive holders, and we are building the infrastructure and interfaces designed around that shift.

Alongside Monorail, we are building Signal, our live-sports trading and prediction markets vertical. Signal is designed around real-time market movement during sports and major live events. Football alone creates dozens of meaningful repricing moments every match — through goals, red cards, penalties, momentum swings, substitutions, and belief shifts — before markets fully react.

We believe prediction markets should feel closer to trading terminals than betting interfaces. We are still a small and highly focused team, but we move quickly, ship aggressively, and care deeply about execution.

The Role

We are looking for a GTM / Growth Lead to help scale Monorail and Signal. This is not a traditional marketing role.

We are looking for someone deeply embedded in crypto, trading culture, sports betting, gambling, prediction markets, and internet-native distribution — someone who understands how narratives spread online, how attention converts into activity, and how to build high-signal growth loops around products people genuinely want to use.

On the Monorail side, the focus is on expanding aggregation volume within the Monad ecosystem and across new chains, ecosystems, and trading verticals while continuing to strengthen our position as a trader-first execution layer. On the Signal side, the focus is on building the distribution and growth engine behind live-event trading and prediction markets through creator partnerships, campaigns, competitions, referral systems, social growth loops, and user retention.

You will work directly with the founders across strategy, positioning, partnerships, product launches, and growth execution. We move quickly, make decisions quickly, and care significantly more about execution than corporate process.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and execute growth campaigns around sporting events, market catalysts, and ecosystem moments


• Build and manage creator, KOL, and community relationships across crypto, betting, and trading audiences


• Design systems that increase trading activity, retention, and engagement through incentives, competitions, and referral mechanics


• Help shape Monorail and Signal’s positioning across DeFi and prediction markets


• Work alongside the founders on ecosystem expansion, launches, and user acquisition initiatives


• Experiment with new growth channels and internet-native distribution strategies


• Coordinate with external partners, creators, and ecosystems to grow trading activity across both products

What We’re Looking For

We care significantly more about execution, instinct, intensity, and ownership than credentials. The ideal person already lives inside crypto, trading, betting, or prediction market culture and understands how internet-native distribution actually works.

You may have previously worked at a sportsbook, gambling company, prediction market platform, DeFi protocol, exchange, media company, or consumer crypto product. You should be comfortable operating in fast-moving environments with high ownership and minimal oversight.

We are looking for someone ambitious, proactive, and willing to work extremely hard to help build something meaningful. This is a role for someone who wants to make a real impact early, not someone looking to coast inside a large company structure.

What We Offer

• High ownership from day one


• Direct access to product direction, strategy, and company-building decisions


• Remote-first flexibility and a highly autonomous working environment


• Competitive compensation alongside meaningful long-term upside


• The opportunity to help define a new category of onchain trading products

Ethena Labs is at the forefront of the next wave of DeFi, dedicated to building products for modern finance. Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum that provides a crypto-native solution for money, USDe, alongside a globally accessible dollar savings asset, sUSDe.

Our core mission is to provide truly crypto-native financial solutions that are globally accessible and bridge the gap between TradFi and the digital asset economy. We believe in transparency, efficiency, and empowering both individuals and institutions with greater control over their assets.

What we are Doing:

Ethena Labs is actively building and deploying a suite of groundbreaking products designed to address key challenges and unlock new opportunities within the digital finance landscape.

Our flagship product, USDe, is a synthetic dollar backed by digital assets, and takes the novel approach of using a delta-neutral hedging strategy to maintain its peg. This provides a truly scalable and censorship-resistant digital dollar.

Building upon USDe, we offer sUSDe. sUSDe provides crypto-native rewards generated from funding rates in derivatives markets, offering an alternative to existing products tethered to the traditional financial system.

Furthermore, we are actively developing solutions to facilitate institutional adoption of digital assets. In partnership with Securitize and Blackrocks BUIDL fund, USDtb provides a more traditional, asset-backed stablecoin option, leveraging established financial infrastructure to appeal to institutional clients. Expanding on this, iUSDe is designed specifically for traditional financial institutions, incorporating necessary compliance features to enable them to access the crypto-native rewards our protocol generates, in an institutional-friendly manner.

Finally, our most ambitious undertaking to date is Converge, our joint blockchain initiative with Securitize. This hybrid blockchain is designed to be the nexus where DeFi meets the needs of CeFi and TradFi. Converge aims to be a primary issuance layer for tokenised assets, integrating seamlessly with existing DeFi protocols to provide institutions with an environment to participate in the decentralised economy.

Through these offerings, Ethena Labs is not just creating new financial products; we are building the foundational infrastructure for a more open, efficient, and interconnected global financial system.

Join us!

Location: Globally Remote.

The Role

Ethena Labs is seeking a Staff/Senior Security Engineer to lead signing and treasury security across wallets and custodian accounts. This is a high-impact, mission-critical role within our Security department.

You will own the verification layer between operator intent and signature — independently confirming destination addresses and calldata against blockchain truth rather than UI displays. Your work sits at the intersection of on-chain protocol knowledge and operational security, ensuring that every transaction is verifiable, documented, and defensible.

What You’ll Do

• Design and evolve the signing regime, including signer composition, thresholds, and pre-signature verification workflows.


• Manage canonical address and contract allowlist system with documented review requirements.


• Operate real-time monitoring across wallets, custodians, and DeFi positions, integrated with incident response.


• Conduct independent technical reviews of new protocol integrations.


• Verify ERC-20 approval hygiene and reconciliation processes across treasury operations.


• Produce audit-grade documentation for auditors and institutional partners.

What We’re Looking For

• Mastery of Solidity and EVM; ability to read arbitrary contracts and raw calldata without assistance.


• Practical experience with Gnosis Safe, Coinbase Prime, Anchorage, and Fireblocks.


• Deep knowledge of DeFi protocols including Aave, Morpho, and Stargate.


• A security-first mindset with a vigilance disposition toward verification and a natural assumption of hostile environments.


• Ability to explain technical risks clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Why Ethena Labs?

• Join a forward-thinking, crypto-native company with a mission to revolutionize decentralized finance.


• Work alongside a passionate and innovative team that values collaboration and creativity.


• Enjoy a flexible, remote-friendly work environment with opportunities for growth and learning.

If you subscribe to the mission of separating the dollar from the state, then we want to hear from you!

We look forward to receiving your application and will be in touch after having a chance to review.

About bitstarter.ai Bitstarter.ai is an incubator and launch platform for teams building on Bittensor, the largest network for decentralised AI. We work with founders and technical teams from concept through subnet design, launch, growth, and ongoing development.

The role We’re hiring a CTO to lead the technical side of the incubator. You’ll evaluate inbound teams, shape subnet architecture, support and where needed build MVPs, and sharpen how we assess technical risk and network value across our portfolio.

This is a senior leadership role and external-facing. You’ll work directly with founders, engineers, advisors, protocol leaders, and partners - not heads-down only.

You’ll be leading… Technical assessment and incubation Review inbound applications. Evaluate codebases, architecture, ML approach, and founder execution. Build the criteria we use to assess prospective subnet teams. Provide the technical analysis that informs incubation decisions.

Subnet design and build Lead or support architecture design for incubated teams. Engineer or oversee MVP development where required. Advise on protocol alignment, incentive design, scalability, and long-term viability. Negotiate stronger technical terms with external partners.

Portfolio analytics Build a structured approach to evaluating subnet performance across prospective, active, and portfolio subnets. Use applied data science to assess market fit, network value, and technical strength. Contribute to portfolio reporting and published evaluation criteria.

Engineering ownership and leadership Own technical delivery across the incubator. Act as the technical authority on incubator decisions and partner discussions. Upskill the internal team on Bittensor, subnet architecture, and ML evaluation. Represent Bitstarter.ai in technical conversations across the ecosystem.

What we’re looking for

1. Bittensor-native experience


2. Hands-on subnet building experience


3. Strong machine learning credentials, ideally with applied production experience


4. Protocol-level understanding of Bittensor


5. Applied data science


6. Strong communicator with technical and non-technical stakeholders


7. Comfortable in external-facing work: founder calls, partner conversations, technical reviews


8. Entrepreneurial attitude and ownership mindset


9. UK-based or able to work UK hours reliably

Nice to have

• Recognised presence in the Bittensor ecosystem, including governance contributions


• Lead engineer experience designing multiple subnets from scratch


• Open-source contributions or public technical writing


• Experience in venture studio, accelerator, or investment environments


• Prior experience working with early-stage AI founders or decentralised infrastructure teams

Why this role

• Lead the technical direction of an incubator focused on the next generation of ML teams building on Bittensor


• Work directly with senior protocol leaders, including our advisors and Bittensor co-founder Jacob Steeves


• New teams every quarter - variety of proposals, projects, and architectures across the portfolio


• Direct influence on which teams get backed and how subnets are shaped


• Build a strong position within the Bittensor ecosystem through partnerships, technical leadership, and ecosystem participation
