\nWho We Are and What We are Doing:\nEthena Labs is actively building and deploying a suite of groundbreaking digital dollar products aiming to upgrade money into the internet era.\n\n\nOur flagship product, USDe, is a synthetic dollar backed by digital assets, and takes the novel approach of using a delta-neutral hedged basis strategy to maintain its peg. This product scaled from zero to $15b in 18 months.\n\n\nExpanding on this, iUSDe is designed specifically for traditional financial institutions, incorporating necessary compliance features to enable them to access the crypto-native rewards our protocol generates, in an institutional-friendly manner.\n\n\nEthena has also developed USDtb: a fiat backed GENIUS compliant stablecoin in partnership with BlackRock which has scaled to ~$2b.\n\n\nThese products are also offered in a whitelabel stablecoin offering where any application, chain, wallet or exchange can launch their own stablecoin on Ethena's back-end infrastructure.\n\n\nThrough these offerings, Ethena Labs is not just creating new financial products; we are building the foundational infrastructure for a more open, efficient, and interconnected global financial system.\n\n\nOpen job offerings will be focused on two new major product lines coming to market in the next few months.\n\n\nJoin us!!\n\n\nLocation: Portugal\n\n\nThe Role \n\n\nAs a Financial Associate, your mission is to assist the Finance Manager in scaling a robust, Web3-native accounting and control environment.

You will work to reduce follow-up queries from local accountants and maintain an "audit ready" trail of evidence.\n* Prepare and post accruals, prepayments, and depreciation entries to enhance the quality and consistency of the month end close process.\n\n\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n* Proven experience in a financial accounting role, preferably within a multi-entity or international environment where you’ll have had responsibilities in IFRS and financial accounting operations. You must be able to execute recurring tasks with a sharp eye for supporting documentation.\n* A mindset geared toward identifying inefficiencies and suggesting practical improvements to scaling workflows in executing payment runs and monitoring balance movements across bank accounts, custodians, exchanges, and stablecoin wallets.\n* Knowledge of blockchain explorers (e.g., Etherscan) to verify transfers.
