About RealFi:

RealFi is building the next generation of stablecoin infrastructure — a productive, yield-bearing stablecoin (USDr) backed by diversified, institutional-grade private credit.

While first launching on Cardano, RealFi is designed as a cross-chain yield layer, expanding to EVM ecosystems and later Solana, integrating directly with leading DeFi protocols, exchanges, and liquidity venues.

Our mission is to transform stablecoins from idle digital dollars into productive economic infrastructure — safely, transparently, and at scale.

What the role involves:

We are hiring a Go-To-Market Lead to own RealFi’s commercial execution across:

• Strategic partnerships
• Exchange listings & liquidity venues
• Ecosystem activations and integrations
• Capital inflow channels (DeFi + institutional)

This is not a developer relations or engineering management role.

It is a high-judgment commercial role focused on who we partner with, where liquidity lives, and how adoption scales.

You will sit at the intersection of DeFi, TradFi-style capital markets, and protocol distribution.
