Staff Quant Strategist Engineer

Aave Labs is expanding its quantitative capabilities and hiring a Staff Quant Strategist Engineer to sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and growth — owning modeling and validation of Aave's on-chain economics (yield mechanics, rate dynamics, risk parameters) and translating that work into protocol and product decisions.

• Model and validate economics of Aave products (yield, rate dynamics, risk parameters)
• Contribute to design of new products and protocol mechanisms
• Support asset-listing, incentive design and partner economics decisions
• Build internal tooling/dashboards for quantitative reasoning
• Prototype models and collaborate with smart contract engineers
• Communicate quantitative findings to non-quant stakeholders

• Strong quantitative foundation (stochastic processes, optimization, simulation)
• Python for modeling/on-chain data analysis (pandas, numpy, scipy, web3.py)
• Deep DeFi fluency (lending markets, AMMs, rate models, liquidations, oracle/MEV issues)
• Ability to read/contribute to Solidity
• Strong communication with non-technical stakeholders

This is a newly created Staff Quant Strategist Engineer position reflecting Aave Labs' expansion of quantitative capabilities, focused on modeling the on-chain economics (yield, rate dynamics, risk parameters) underlying Aave's lending markets.
