About CoW Protocol
CoW DAO is on a mission to protect Ethereum users from the dangers of DeFi. It does this by supporting the development of CoW Protocol, CoW Swap, MEV Blocker, and CoW AMM, and by funding values-aligned projects through the CoW Grants Program.
CoW Protocol is the second-largest DEX aggregator by monthly volume and the first-largest intents-based exchange. MEV Blocker is currently involved in ~4% of all Ethereum transactions, making it the category leader. CoW AMM is the only live AMM that protects LPs from LVR (loss-versus rebalancing).
As a member of CoW DAO’s core team, you will have the opportunity to shape these essential products, and contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem more broadly.

Culture
Life in CoW Protocol is an amazing journey, we pride ourselves on the way we work together. We like autonomy, we think big, and we have a growth mindset. We are a fully remote team that values transparency, clear communication, and ownership. We strive to create an environment where all team members feel empowered to take initiative, experiment, learn from mistakes, and share opinions freely. Our work is open source, designed code is publicly accessible - anyone can see, modify, and distribute the code as they see fit.
Flexible working hours and environment, asynchronous yet collaborative work, and having as few internal meetings and procedures as possible are not buzzwords to us. We live them.
Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other folks tend to apply only when they check every box. If you think you have what it takes but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
We want you to have an impact and be a part of this journey 🚀
