About this role

Obsidian Systems is building the financial infrastructure for the next generation of capital markets. We are a global, founder-led team with deep roots in distributed ledger technology and we are moving fast.

Tradecraft is our flagship product: the liquidity layer built natively on the Canton Network. The Canton Network is one of the few institutional-grade blockchain networks gaining real traction with asset issuers and financial institutions. Tradecraft is positioned to be its liquidity backbone, and we are first.

We are 100% remote, low-ego, high-conviction, and global. We trust our team and we move quickly. If you want to do the most interesting work in institutional DeFi right now, this is where it is happening.

Head of Volume

We are looking for a leader who has either built trading volume on a DeFi protocol or trading platform from the ground up, or who has the expertise and relationships to do so. This is a volume-focused role—not a traditional business development position. You must deeply understand liquidity markets, know how to engage demand on a DEX, and be able to build and scale the commercial engine that drives trading activity on the Canton Network.

What you Will Own

  • Own the entire demand side for Tradecraft: from initial contact through to driving active, recurring volume

  • Identify, contact, and develop trading opportunities across retail and institutional segments, and build the systematic approach that scales it

  • Lead and manage wallet integrations end to end: WalletConnect, swap and LP integrations with top wallet providers, and the ongoing relationships that keep them active

  • Drive integrations with trading platforms and institutional trading infrastructure

  • Onboard asset issuers onto Tradecraft the moment they go live on the Canton Network

  • Design and execute trading incentive programs that generate real, sustainable volume

  • Own and continuously improve the competitive benchmark for execution quality

  • Serve as the voice of the market back to the Product team with the ability to translate what you hear into clear, actionable requirements

  • Activate and build on existing relationships across the Canton ecosystem to accelerate distribution

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience building trading volume in environments such as the Canton Network, other emerging institutional blockchain networks, new DeFi protocols, or trading infrastructure platforms in early growth stages

  • Deep familiarity with DeFi market-making dynamics and what it takes to attract and retain serious liquidity

  • Demonstrated experience closing and managing wallet integrations from negotiation to technical onboarding

  • Experience working with institutional counterparties, asset managers, market makers, trading desks, or custodians in a digital assets or fintech context; strong relationships with wallet providers, exchanges, or institutional trading firms relevant to the Canton ecosystem (Canton experience a plus)

  • A track record of building commercial partnerships or distribution channels from the ground up

  • Entrepreneurial mindset—comfortable operating in ambiguity, creating structure, and thriving without a large team or set playbook
