Sense is a decentralized fixed-income protocol on Ethereum, enabling predictable returns from fixed rates and directional long/short bets on future yields.
The Sense Protocol is leveraged by DeFi users who want more control over their cash flows, and it's used by fixed-income technologists who want to build new yield primitives for DeFi, such as fixed-income tokens, yield tokens, and other custom re-divisions of existing tokens' exposures.
We're working towards a future where Finance is more resilient, accessible, transparent, and fair, empowering generations of individuals with financial freedom.
Join our world-class team, backed by a diverse set of investors and mentors, including Dragonfly, Bain Capital Ventures, Variant, Nascent, Robot, theLAO, CollabCurrency, Jai Bhavnani of Waymont, Noah Zinsmeister of Uniswap, DeFi Dad, Steven Becker of UDHC, Kurt Barry of MakerDAO, and Tom Walton-Pocock.
Together, we'll embark on a mission to build permissionless fixed-income infrastructure.
~~~
As our first PM, you'll work directly with founders (Josh & Kenton), engineers, and designers to help shape the direction of Sense's products, its vision, and development cycles. At Sense, you'll pioneer new product standards for the rapidly innovating sector of DeFi, and have autonomy over projects in a fast-paced environment that is challenging, supportive, and actualizing.
