## Job description

## About GRVT

GRVT is the only exchange architected on its own yield-generating, tokenized deposit layer — where every dollar is instantly transformed into a productive, yield-bearing asset. Capital compounds continuously across trading, investing, and spending, without ever leaving self-custody or going idle. Where traditional exchanges force a tradeoff between yield generation and capital deployment, GRVT eliminates that constraint entirely. Tokenized deposits function simultaneously as margin, yield instruments, and liquidity primitives — compounding across the full lifecycle of capital, from fiat on-ramp to perpetuals trading, institutional vaults, and real-world spending. Built on a dedicated privacy chain powered by zkSync Prividium, GRVT delivers CEX-grade performance with on-chain settlement — fully self-custodial by design. The company is founded by alumni from Goldman Sachs, Meta, and DBS.

## About GRVT TECHNOLOGIES

## Company Overview

- **Headquarters**: Singapore, Singapore
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Hong Gyu Yea (CEO), Aaron Ong (CTO), Matthew Quek (COO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial services / Blockchain-based trading & wealth management
- **Target customers**: Retail and professional traders, crypto-native users, and investors seeking institutional-grade products without high minimums (B2C, with some B2B elements through liquidity partners)
- **Mission or purpose**: To eliminate the forced choice between earning yield and keeping capital ready to trade, by unifying margin and yield into a single balance on a self-custodial, privacy-first platform.

## Products & Services
- **GRVT Exchange** – A hybrid derivatives exchange built on ZK Stack (ZKsync’s Atlas technology). It combines a centralized order book (sub-millisecond latency) with on-chain settlement, offering trading in crypto, equities, and commodities with or without leverage. Users maintain self-custody of funds, reducing risks of hacks and fraud.
- **GRVT Strategies** – An on-chain investment marketplace offering institutional-grade funds (e.g., tokenized money market funds) with no minimums or accreditation requirements. Users can access diversified strategies directly from their trading balance.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed. The company blog states a valuation of $540M on a $34M raise (conflicting reports: Tracxn lists total funding at $33.3M).
- **Key Metric (Private)**: Total funding of $33.3M (or $34M) across 4 rounds, with the latest Series A in September 2025 led by Further Ventures and ZKsync.

## Competitive Advantages
- **“One Balance” thesis** – Users earn a base yield (currently 3.5% at US Treasury rates) on all deposited funds, even while those same funds are used as margin for trading. No lockups or separate accounts.
- **Self-custodial hybrid model** – Combines the liquidity and speed of a centralized exchange (CEX) with the settlement security and user control of a decentralized exchange (DEX). Built on ZKsync Validium for privacy and scalability.
- **Institutional pedigree** – Founding team brings experience from Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Meta, DBS Bank, and GovTech, giving credibility in both traditional finance and blockchain engineering.
- **Regulatory-first approach** – Claims to be the world’s first licensed on-chain exchange, operating under Singapore regulation.

## Strategic Focus
- **Privacy-first onchain finance** – Expanding the “exchange designed to pay you” model, targeting the trillion-dollar market of capital-efficient trading.
- **Global expansion** – Already in 11 countries; hiring for Japanese-speaking BD roles and heads of marketing to enter new markets.
- **Product ecosystem** – Deepening the integration between trading and wealth management, and partnering with liquidity providers like rhino.fi and Ampersan to scale.

## Why Work Here
- **High-growth environment** – Headcount grew nearly 50% in the last year, with 15+ open roles across engineering, marketing, BD, and operations.

- **Remote-friendly culture?** – Headquarters in Singapore but employees across 11 countries (including Hong Kong, South Korea, UAE, India). Job postings do not explicitly state remote policy, but the distributed team suggests flexibility.
- **Mission-driven** – Building an alternative to both centralized exchanges (like FTX failures) and traditional banking, with a clear value proposition: “profit with your users, not from them.”
