You know the ecosystem, have relationships, and understand how protocols talk to each other - Fintech fluency matters too. You can hold a credible conversation with an institutional allocator and a DeFi native in the same afternoon - You treat the BD pipeline like an engineer treats a codebase — structured, versioned, no loose ends - You're a self-starter who doesn't need a playbook. You write the playbook Benefits - Stablecoins are transforming how the world stores, moves, and grows value — and we’re still early. - This is a once-in-a-generation shift: from legacy money to programmable, accessible, internet-native finance. - We own our future — we trust each other to take initiative. Voices are heard and outcomes matter. - We treat our work as craft — thoughtful, opinionated, and precise. Many of us come from design, art, or cultural backgrounds. - We think from first principles — Perena is a reimagining of financial infrastructure. That starts with reimagining how we build. - We work in public — we value clarity, writing, and sharing progress openly within the team and with our community.
