About Dragonfly Capital

We’re a team of seasoned VCs and technologists investing in generational companies and protocols, with deep roots in Silicon Valley and Asia. Our team is highly technical and has published some of the most widely read research on DeFi and protocol security. Our AUM is over $2B and we’re one of the fastest-growing firms in the crypto industry.

Overview

As Operations Lead, you'll be executing on myriad challenges at the edge of the crypto industry, with a high level of ownership and a tight iteration loop. Your immediate coworkers include our C-Suite (e.g., Scott Hershorin, ex-CCO at Robinhood Crypto]; Bart Cocales, long-time MD at BlackRock; etc), Managing Partners, and key stakeholders on both the Venture and Liquid fund teams.

To be successful in this role, you should be insanely passionate about crypto and looking to rapidly accelerate your career in the space, as well as comfortable with flexible and entrepreneurial work environments. You should also have a solid understanding of the unique challenges that crypto can pose, be comfortable pulling definition from ambiguity, and pride yourself on your initiative. The best candidates will be constantly trying to automate themselves out of their job. (Don’t worry, though; we don’t see that actually happening if you do this well. :)
