About Metron

Cogentic Labs is pioneering the future of venture capital allocation on-chain through proof of performance and AI-driven automation. We are building Metron, a decentralized capital allocation protocol and venture currency that enables efficient, transparent, and data-driven investments in the Web3 ecosystem. Our protocol integrates advanced financial modeling, cryptographic verification, and dynamic tokenomics to optimize capital distribution.

We are seeking a Quantitative Finance & Tokenomics Researcher to design, model, and refine the economic mechanisms that power our novel protocol. If you're passionate about algorithmic finance, incentive design, and crypto-economic systems, this role offers the opportunity to shape the economic foundation of a cutting-edge DeFi innovation.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Develop and optimize tokenomics models that align incentives for investors, participants, and network stakeholders.
  • Design pricing models for capital allocation mechanisms, leveraging principles from quantitative finance, game theory, and crypto-economic research.
  • Analyze on-chain financial flows to simulate and predict market behaviors, ensuring long-term sustainability of Metron’s economic system.
  • Implement risk assessment frameworks for market fluctuations, capital efficiency, and protocol resilience.
  • Collaborate with AI and smart contract engineers to integrate economic models into the on-chain execution layer.
  • Research and benchmark existing DeFi capital allocation and staking mechanisms to identify competitive advantages and opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in quantitative finance, economics, or financial engineering, preferably with experience in DeFi, algorithmic trading, or tokenomics.
  • Experience with stochastic modeling, game theory, and mechanism design in financial markets or crypto-economic systems.
  • Proficiency in Python, R, or Julia for financial modeling and simulations.
  • Familiarity with blockchain and smart contract mechanics (Ethereum, Layer 2s, or alternative L1s).
  • Ability to work independently in an early-stage, high-velocity environment.
  • Strong research mindset with the ability to translate academic insights into practical implementation.

Why Join Us?

  • Be at the forefront of on-chain venture capital automation and crypto-native financial innovation.
  • Work with a highly technical team of blockchain engineers, AI experts, and entrepreneurs.
  • Highly competitive compensation with early stage token incentives and equity opportunities.
  • The ability to shape a novel DeFi protocol from the ground up.
