About the Company

RockawayX is a pioneering global digital asset investment and engineering firm. We specialize in venture investing, systematic yield strategies, and building the infrastructure that powers the on-chain economy.

With approximately $2 billion in assets under management across venture, yield, and infrastructure strategies, RockawayX actively backs over 100 early-stage crypto projects. We also serve as an institutional liquidity provider across the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Our firm is at the forefront of integrating traditional finance with digital assets, particularly in the burgeoning area of tokenized real-world assets (RWA). We are focused on developing institutional-grade RWA vaults on leading blockchain networks, collaborating with key partners in DeFi and the RWA space.

Job Description

RockawayX is a leading global digital asset investment and engineering firm, actively shaping the future of the on-chain economy. We are expanding our risk management capabilities into the critical area of credit risk for tokenized real-world assets (RWA).

This role offers a unique opportunity to build and lead the credit risk framework for our RWA strategies and multi-asset RWA allocation vaults. You will be responsible for translating traditional credit and RWA methodologies into robust on-chain risk frameworks, covering tokenized credit exposures, loan pools, and structured products integrated into our yield platform.

Collaborate closely with our risk curation, engineering, and investment teams to define risk appetite, assess counterparties and structures, and ensure all RWA allocations meet RockawayX’s high standards for capital preservation, diversification, and institutional-grade transparency.
