We’re one of the world’s leading decentralized exchanges. Join us on our mission to democratize access to financial opportunity.
We’re building open source software that redefines trading. dYdX is a decentralized exchange for trading cryptocurrencies (and eventually other assets) built on smart contracts (programs that run on the blockchain). We’re first targeting advanced traders and financial derivatives.
We’re targeting a huge market. Derivatives are an order of magnitude bigger than anything else in finance, and recently have become the largest market in crypto as well! Our goal is to become one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world (currently DeFi is ~5% of all crypto trading).
We’re backed by the best investors in crypto, including Andreessen Horowitz, Paradigm, and the founders of Coinbase. We’ve been around for 5 years, and have consistently been at the forefront of building in DeFi.
We offer top compensation, significant ownership, and generous benefits.

We’re the largest decentralized exchange in the world by trading volume. $1 Billion is traded on dYdX per day!
We’re on track to make ~$100m in revenue this year, all with just a 50 person team.
<aside> ⭐ Top class, focused team
</aside>
We have intentionally kept the team smaller, but with what we believe are the highest quality people. We aim to only hire people at the quality bar of the top 5% of FAANG level companies (but are open to hiring from anywhere!). The best evidence of this is the amount of growth we’ve seen relative to our headcount.
We only hire people who are great culture fits and we’re truly excited to work with. We believe that great people only want to work with other great people. We’re long term focused, and prioritize learning, individual ownership, and fun.
