## Job description

## About Morpho

Morpho is a leading Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending protocol backed by a16z crypto, Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, Apollo, Vaneck, Coinbase Ventures, Variant and 50 others to build an open credit network giving anyone, anywhere, access to the best possible terms. Morpho is experiencing exponential adoption, with over billion in deposits on the network and used by institutional clients including Bitwise, Galaxy, and Anchorage Digital and the largest crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken. Now, Morpho is scaling its team of contributors to establish itself as the open credit network, not just of DeFi, but of the world.

## Why Morpho Exists

Everyone has the potential to build something great for the world. But fulfilling that ambition almost always requires more: people willing to trust you with their capital. Yet access to capital still depends on where you live, who you know, and which institutions are willing to trust you. Even when capital is available, it sits fragmented across disconnected networks and hidden behind intermediaries. The result is a system that fails most of the people it should serve. Borrowers overpay. Lenders earn less than they should. Many are shut out entirely, not because they are unworthy of credit, but because today's infrastructure was never built to connect them. Morpho exists to solve this. Full article [here](https://morpho.org/blog/why-morpho-exists/). Location Paris or remote (from -5h GMT up to +2h GMT to ensure sufficient overlap with the rest of the team).

## How we work

We move fast on hard problems in a nascent market with no set playbook: navigating uncertainty is part of the job. You'll be challenged: anyone can question work and decisions must be justified. We keep a high bar and match it with high support: we help each other unblock and share context openly, with low ego. More about our values: [morpho.org/jobs](http://morpho.org/jobs).

## Role

The mission of this role is to own the technical architecture and end-to-end delivery of Morpho's product suite, spanning React frontends, GraphQL APIs, and on-chain data systems, ensuring the platform scales reliably as Morpho grows beyond $10B in TVL, while actively raising the technical bar across the engineering team.

## Responsibilities

- Architect and own end-to-end delivery of DeFi products with billions in TVL, from React/Next.js frontends through GraphQL/REST APIs to blockchain data indexers, ensuring sub-second response times for users.
- Design and implement the API and SDK strategy enabling hundreds of integrators to build on Morpho's infrastructure, including versioning patterns, developer experience standards, and real-time streaming systems.
- Build and optimize high-performance data systems processing millions of on-chain events across 15+ blockchains, using intelligent caching and query optimization to maintain reliability at scale.
- Lead technical architecture reviews and establish coding standards that raise the technical capability of 5-10 engineers across product teams.
- Own observability and incident response across the stack, using OpenTelemetry, Grafana, and Sentry to ensure reliability for users and integrators.

## About Morpho

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Morpho is an open, decentralized credit network that provides enterprise-grade infrastructure for businesses to build, embed, and scale onchain lending and borrowing products.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Venture-backed; last round: Series A+ led by Ribbit Capital)
- **Headquarters**: Paris, France
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Paul Frambot (Co-founder & CEO), Merlin Egalite (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Decentralized Finance (DeFi) / Onchain Lending Infrastructure
- **Target Customers**: B2B — exchanges (e.g., Coinbase, Crypto.com), fintechs, banks, regulated institutions, and risk curators building lending/borrowing products.
- **Mission Statement**: "Power human ambition with open access to capital."

## Products & Services
- **Morpho Blue** *(Protocol/Infrastructure)*: A permissionless, immutable lending protocol with isolated markets (1 loan asset + 1 collateral asset per market). Serves as the foundation of the lending ecosystem.
- **Morpho Vaults** *(Platform)*: Curated lending vaults that allow independent risk experts to build businesses around differentiated risk profiles, auto-allocating deposits across Morpho Markets.
- **Morpho Optimizer** *(Optimization Layer)*: An optimization layer (now superseded by Morpho Blue) that initially improved interest rates for users on top of Aave and Compound.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (privately held).
- **Key Metric — Total Deposits**: Over $13B in deposits (as of early 2026), up from $5B during 2025. Active loans reached $4B+. RWA deposits grew to $400M by Q3 2025.
- **Key Metric — Total Funding**: $69.2M in total funding across 4 rounds.
    - Seed (2021): $1.2M (while founders were still at university)
    - Series A (2022): $18M led by a16z crypto & Variant
    - Venture Round (2024): $50M led by Ribbit Capital
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: a16z crypto, Variant, Ribbit Capital, Pantera Capital.
- **Notable Integrations (Business Customers)**: Coinbase (crypto-backed loans, its largest DeFi integration), Crypto.com, Gemini, Ledger, Lemon, Société Générale Forge, Bitget, and many other regulated institutions.
- **Growth Signals**: User growth from 67,000 to 1.4M+ users (+2,000%+). Headcount grew 39.2% YoY to 52 employees, with 10 open roles in 2026. Expanding into institutional and regulated banking sector partnerships.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Open & Permissionless but Secure**: Morpho is immutable, non-custodial, and permissionless, yet employs enterprise-grade security practices including tier-1 audits and a $2.5M bug bounty. Committed to formal verification.
- **Flexible, Isolated Markets**: Unlike monolithic protocols (e.g., Aave), Morpho uses isolated, single-asset markets that can be composed into any risk profile, allowing depositors granular control over exposure.
- **Liquidity Network Effect**: With $13B in deposits, Morpho provides the deepest onchain liquidity, creating a strong moat for attracting more builders and institutions.
- **Top-Tier Backing & Adoption**: Backed by a16z, Variant, and Ribbit Capital, with integrations from the largest crypto exchanges globally — signaling trust and scalability.

## Strategic Focus
- **Institutional Adoption**: Actively targeting banks, regulated institutions, and fintechs to embed onchain credit solutions. Société Générale Forge is a key strategic win.
- **Real-World Assets (RWA)**: Growing the RWA deposit volume, which expanded from near zero to $400M in 2025.
- **Geographic Expansion**: Operating in 12 countries (US, UK, Switzerland, Portugal, Singapore, NZ, etc.), with dedicated roles for APAC and Americas regions.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Scaling the engineering and institutional sales teams aggressively, particularly for Protocol Engineers, Security Engineers, and strategic account managers.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Values**: Values include "Justify Everything" (challenge all decisions with rationale), "Bias for Action," "Laser-Focused," and "Simplicity." The team expects high output but supports its talent with top compensation and autonomy.
- **Remote-First with Global Offices**: Flexible work policy — remote or from their Paris headquarters. Remote employees get an allowance to visit Paris 3x a year. All employees have access to Spaces co-working offices globally (585+ locations).
- **Compensation & Perks**: Base salary in top 10% globally. Full-time contributors receive MORPHO token grants. Health insurance worldwide. Professional development budget for courses and conferences. Relocation packages available for Paris.
- **High-Impact Work**: Tackling fundamental problems in a nascent market — re-building the global credit system onchain. The engineering team is publicly highlighted as a core strength in the 2026 update.
- **Hiring Process**: 3–6 weeks: (1) Talent Lead interview, (2) Manager interview, (3) Case study, (4) Co-founder interview.
