DAT Director at Team TPS (The Paradigm Shifters). 🚀 About The Paradigm Shifters (TPS). We are building a next-generation public blockchain architecture powered by cutting-edge cryptography — including Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) and witness encryption. By decoupling verification from computation, our protocol unlocks massive performance gains, modular flexibility, and privacy-preserving smart contract design.. Our modular chain is purpose-built for developers — designed to support advanced use cases in payments, AI agents, and beyond. Backed by pioneers in the blockchain space, including the Neo Foundation, a globally distributed team of blockchain pioneers, PhDs, cryptographers, and researchers/engineers. We're preparing for launch — and looking for our visionary.. Our Team includes around 20 people: Founder, Research & Consensus Engineering (13), Founding GTM, Founding P&T/Ops, Director of Marketing, Tech Content Writer. 🎯 The Role. We are seeking a . DAT Director . to design, model, and optimize the economic framework of our chain, its native utility mechanisms, and future partnership technologies.. This is a founding-level role: you will architect incentive structures, design community distribution frameworks, run simulations, and refine mechanisms post-launch. You’ll collaborate across research, engineering, marketing, content, and BD to ensure the digital asset architecture aligns with protocol design, ecosystem growth, and long-term sustainability.. 🔨 What You’ll Do. . Build the full digital asset and governance architecture from scratch — including incentive design, distribution frameworks, and unlock schedules.. . Create participation systems for validators, users, and developers that work in practice.. . Run economic modeling and simulations to pressure-test edge cases and stress-test system assumptions.. . Integrate digital asset design seamlessly into protocol development with engineers.. . Design and operate both sides of grants: create programs for distributing ecosystem/community grants and structure frameworks for identifying, applying to, and receiving grants from partners, foundations, or research bodies.. . Shape treasury strategy, DAO frameworks, and CEX/DEX participation models.. . Track and analyze ecosystem performance before and after launch, iterating quickly.. . Stay on top of emerging research and industry practices, bringing in the best ideas while avoiding known pitfalls.. . ✅ Requirements. . 8+ years in economics, finance, or decentralized systems; strong grounding in cryptography and mechanism design.. . 5+ years architecting digital asset economies, market mechanics, or decentralized resource frameworks.. . Proven track record building or advising on large-scale decentralized networks or labs.. . Deep knowledge of game theory, incentive alignment, and governance mechanisms.. . Experience structuring grants programs (outbound) and securing external grants/funding (inbound).. . Expertise in treasury design, DAO policy, exchange strategy, and liquidity architecture.. . Familiarity with regulatory considerations across jurisdictions (U.S., Cayman, APAC).. . Hands-on ability with data modeling/simulation; skilled in on- and off-chain analytics.. . Comfort with early-stage chaos: fast pivots, limited resources, high ambiguity.. . Excellent communicator — able to explain complex mechanics simply.. . Passion for building something new as part of a distributed founding team (California ↔ APAC).. . 💎 Bonus Points. . Understanding of how ZK technology impacts incentive and governance design.. . Prior experience with L1, L2, or DeFi ecosystems.. . Published research or whitepapers on digital asset economics or mechanism design.. . Experience building governance systems or DAOs.. . Startup experience — scrappy, creative, resourceful.. . Company Location: United States.
