DefiLlama is hiring devs, fully async position

DefiLlama, a major DeFi data and analytics aggregator, has opened new developer roles in a fully asynchronous, no‑meetings setup, as announced by pseudonymous co-founder 0xngmi on X. The team is hiring developers who want high autonomy and ownership, emphasizing remote, async collaboration where contributors integrate new DeFi protocols and features into the DefiLlama stack. DefiLlama traditionally recruits by having candidates submit pull requests to its open-source repositories, and the current hiring call appears to follow this contribution-first model. According to DefiLlama’s careers page, the organization positions itself as anon‑friendly, with maximum autonomy, and no investors or formal revenue, instead relying on donations and self‑funding. Compensation is listed in the roughly $50k–$80k/year USD range plus a vested equity grant roughly equal to one year of pay at a relatively low valuation compared with competitors. To apply, developers are expected to contribute code—typically via GitHub PRs to DefiLlama repos such as the Adapters repository used for protocol integrations—then contact 0xngmi via social channels. The new roles matter in DeFi and Web3 infrastructure because DefiLlama is a widely used neutral data layer for TVL, volume, and revenue metrics across hundreds of chains and thousands of protocols, so expanding its dev team directly affects data coverage and tooling used by traders, founders, and researchers across the ecosystem.
