Defi Portfolio Manager

About Ergonia DeFi Ergonia DeFi is a crypto-native proprietary trading and liquidity infrastructure business operating across on-chain markets. We provide institutional-grade liquidity, market-making, and DeFi trading infrastructure for protocols, token foundations, and institutional partners. Operating across major ecosystems, we deploy capital through both systematic and discretionary strategies to optimize performance, capture inefficiencies, and strengthen market depth. As part of Ergonia, a leading trading and venture-building firm with deep experience in digital asset markets, Ergonia DeFi combines quantitative rigor, strategic execution, and long-term ecosystem alignment to drive liquidity and efficiency across DeFi.

The Role We’re seeking an experienced DeFi Portfolio Manager (Discretionary Trading) to join our on-chain trading team. This is a hands-on trading role for an independent, high-conviction risk-taker who thrives in fast-moving and information-rich markets. You will manage proprietary capital across crypto ecosystems, running discretionary strategies that span directional, event-driven, relative-value, volatility, liquidity and flow-based, and cross-protocol or sentiment-driven opportunities. The ideal candidate combines deep market intuition with a strong understanding of market structure, liquidity flows, and token economics. You’ll operate with autonomy while collaborating closely with Ergonia’s trading, research, and infrastructure teams to enhance execution, tooling, and risk management.

Key Responsibilities • Identify, structure, and execute discretionary trading strategies across DeFi markets, including directional, event-driven, relative-value, and volatility opportunities. • Capture liquidity and flow-driven trades around market dislocations, incentive shifts, and capital rotations. • Identify cross-protocol and cross-asset opportunities arising from pricing inefficiencies and composability dynamics. • Position around catalysts and sentiment-driven events, including governance changes, token unlocks, and ecosystem rotations. • Monitor on-chain flows and volatility regimes to anticipate and respond to evolving market conditions. • Execute trades with precision and risk discipline. • Manage exposure and capital allocation through thoughtful risk management and P&L accountability. • Collaborate with internal teams to improve trading infrastructure, analytics, and execution workflows.
