About The Company

Morpho is a leading Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending protocol supported by prominent investors such as a16z crypto, Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, Apollo, Vaneck, Coinbase Ventures, Variant, and over 50 others. Our mission is to build an open credit network that provides anyone, anywhere, access to the best possible lending terms. Morpho is experiencing exponential adoption, managing over a billion dollars in deposits and serving institutional clients including Bitwise, Galaxy, and Anchorage Digital, as well as major crypto exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken. We are scaling our team to establish Morpho as the open credit network not only for DeFi but for the global financial ecosystem.

At Morpho, we believe everyone has the potential to build something meaningful for the world, but access to capital remains a significant barrier. Existing financial infrastructure is fragmented, intermediated, and often excludes worthy borrowers and lenders. Morpho aims to solve this by creating a seamless, inclusive, and efficient credit network. Our team operates with a high level of transparency, collaboration, and mutual support, embracing challenges in a fast-moving and uncertain market. Our headquarters are in Paris, but we welcome remote work within a time zone range from -5h GMT to +2h GMT to ensure effective team collaboration. Learn more about our values at ••••••••
