Fraud Engineer
About us
Ether.fi is one of the largest crypto companies in the world, with over $10B in assets under management and a team of ~50, almost entirely technical staff. We’ve been profitable since day one and are focused on building real consumer financial applications.
We believe the future of finance is true on-chain banking. Our products, Stake, Liquid, and Cash, let users earn yield through DeFi strategies and spend their assets globally through our credit card program. You can view our growth publicly on Dune.
As we scale our financial products, maintaining world-class fraud/risk defense is core to protecting our users and the long-term health of our card program.
