About the company

Hi, we're Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We are the global leader in tokenized treasuries, tokenized stocks and ETFs, and are building the future of institutional-grade financial services onchain.

Founded by folks from Goldman Sachs Digital Assets Team, we’re backed by some of the best investors in the world including Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Tiger Global, and more. We are currently the leaders in the space in terms of AUM and are well capitalized to continue growing the firm. We're fully remote, with team members across the U.S.

About the role

We’re looking for a Head of Risk to build and own Ondo’s end-to-end risk function across our products, protocols, and balance sheet. This role will define how risk is measured, governed, and mitigated across smart contract systems, trading activity, collateral management, and counterparties. You will work closely with engineering, trading, product, and leadership to ensure that Ondo can safely scale into more complex products such as perpetuals while maintaining institutional-grade risk standards. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role responsible for shaping core decisions around capital allocation, liquidity, and system design.

Target outcomes

Implement a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and playbook across smart contract, market, liquidity, and counterparty risk, with clear ownership and escalation paths

Oversee and optimize the risk engine to manage margin requirements, liquidation protocols, risk-adjusted limits for collaterals, and liquidity parameters with the goal to balance growth and downside protection

Embed risk-aware product design into all new launches, including perps and other leveraged products covering oracle reliability, tail-risk and exploit vectors

Develop an automated Risk Dashboard with real-time monitoring and implement reporting systems that provide clear visibility into firm-wide risk exposure
