Finance Manager (w/m/d)

What do we do?

Chainflip is building the next generation of native cross-chain financial infrastructure, starting with seamless asset swapping and now expanding into cross-chain lending.

We enable users to swap major crypto assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL across chains — without wrapped tokens— and have already processed over $4 billion in trades since launch. Chainflip achieves this by running its own blockchain and a network of validators that control vaults across multiple ecosystems, making the user experience smooth, secure, and fast.

Now, we’re building a generalised cross-chain lending product, allowing users to borrow and lend native assets like BTC, ETH, or USDC directly, with no friction and no need to wrap, bridge, or manage multiple wallets. We’re a team of 30, deeply experienced and passionate about solving problems in crypto. Headquartered in Berlin, we champion flexible work styles, encouraging both in-office collaboration and the freedom of remote stints. If you’re excited to contribute, we’d love to meet you!
