About us


Ambush is an AI company developing AI research & products that accelerate onchain adoption.


We’re building Web3’s first autonomous AI agents to simplify wealth creation & onchain safety.


We’re a lean & hyper performance-oriented team; we are competitive, we like moving fast, and we run head-first towards seemingly impossible ideas. Our entire team is crypto-native & we have a shared North Star of solving web3’s hardest challenges.


Our team is led by one of crypto’s prominent anons, Psycho.


About the role:


Have you ever referred to yourself as “terminally online”? If so, you may be a fit for this role :)


We’re hiring a highly-technical onchain generalist to help lead the company’s long term DeFi / onchain strategy as we near the release of our upcoming onchain AI agent products. You can think of this role as a highly technical product owner; contributing to hands-on development as well as the greater strategy.


The ideal candidate is an onchain generalist that has technical hands-on experience with dapps at the blockchain level while being a DeFi power user themselves.


You’ll enjoy strong autonomy & wear various hats that include:



  • Leading research efforts on technical DeFi initiatives within the company

  • Keeping a pulse on the latest DeFi trends to ensure our products stay ahead of the curve

  • Contributing to product roadmap & strategy for our onchain products

  • Working alongside our engineering team to assist with onchain technical decisions

  • This role is great for those with a strong technical onchain background that get easily bored in specialized roles, as you’ll be the glue between our product, research, & engineering teams.


Requirements:



  • Strong technical experience in DeFi research or leading DeFi products

  • Experience using smart contract libraries such as viem or web3.js

  • Strong analytical & data-focused background, including but not bound to: SQL, Dune, Python, & similar

  • Good SecOps; understanding of best security practices for smart contracts & onchain dapps

  • Terminally online; web3 native who keeps up with the latest onchain advancements

  • Strong writer that can convert DeFi research in to digestible public-facing content

  • General interest / experience with AI agents or applied AI & ML


Not required, but a strong bonus:



  • Leadership experience at a research firm, venture/trading firm, or high growth web3 company

  • Prior commercial experience as a smart contract dev or security auditor


Why join Ambush?



  • Industry leading pay: strong base salary + uncapped profit share + equity

  • Lean & high-impact team; we hate bureaucracy & will not grow past ~10 people

  • One of the fastest growing AI companies in crypto

  • Proven leadership team with several acquisitions under their belt


Internal full-time hires only, no contractors or agencies
