About Renegade We're building the first dark pool built natively for onchain markets.
Renegade is an onchain dark pool, a private exchange for institutional crypto trading, fully onchain with no trusted intermediaries. In TradFi, dark pools account for roughly 40% of US equities volume. That entire layer of market structure barely exists in crypto.
Renegade brings that infrastructure to DeFi. We match orders at the midpoint of the Binance bid-ask spread, without moving the market, without leaking information, and without leaving the chain. Funds, solvers, and market makers that integrate with Renegade get better price execution, with savings on spreads, market impact, and fees.
Since launch on Arbitrum and Base, Renegade has processed $336M in all-time trading volume with $100M in daily order flow.
We've been live since late 2024, are well-funded by leading investors. We are a lean high-caliber team that works in person in San Francisco.

About The Role
We're looking for one extremely organized operator to aggressively push our sales and GTM pipelines. On a team this small, you'll have real ownership and a wide surface area. Example projects:
- Own a sales pipeline end-to-end: tracking, follow-ups, next steps, closing loops
- Write and iterate on customer-facing docs: onboarding notes, one-pagers, explainers
- Ship comms: twitter threads, product updates, announcements
- Handle misc operator tasks: contracts, vendors, coordination You can shape the role: if you want to go deeper on GTM systems (process, messaging, outbound lists), great. If you want to be more chief-of-staff (running execution across many threads), also great. But the core is the same: aggressive follow-through and relentless organization.
Candidate Profile & Mindset
You are unusually organized, relentless about follow-ups, and comfortable operating in the founder's inbox.
You want to work hand-in-hand with the founder at a very early-stage company. You don't need permission to push things forward. You don't feel awkward being persistent.
- You've run pipeline in a high-velocity environment
- You write clearly and quickly and keep clean notes
- You move fast, stay calm, and don't drop balls If this fits, we look forward to chatting!
About Renegade
Renegade, founded in 2022 by Chris Bender and Joey Kraut in San Francisco, builds an on-chain dark pool for anonymous crypto trading. Its flagship venue, Renegade Dark Pool, uses multiparty computation and zero-knowledge proofs to match orders without revealing size or direction pre-trade, settling directly on-chain with self-custody on Arbitrum and Base. Orders are pegged to the real-time Binance midpoint to eliminate price impact and MEV. Headquartered in San Francisco with a lean engineering team, Renegade emphasizes cryptography, market microstructure and privacy-preserving settlement rather than custodial matching. Backed by Dragonfly, Naval Ravikant and Balaji Srinivasan with $3.4M seed funding, the team contributes to private DeFi research. Expect a highly technical culture that prizes low-level cryptography, precise execution design and building durable privacy for professional traders.
