YFDAI Welcomes New Additions to the Team
YFDAI continues to hire talented professionals necessary to keep up with its DeFi platform expansion
Dear YFDAI Community,
We’ve seen a flurry of hiring at YFDAI over these past 6 weeks with the additions of John Burmeister (LaunchPad Success Manager), Murai Ryo (Full Stack Developer), Hargobind Gupta (Lead Solidity Developer), Jeetesh Gajjar (Technical Project Manager), and Deep Yadav (Lead Backend Developer).
Now, as the community turns its focus to SSGT (given the recent launch of the token), along with the expansion of our governance system (now that DAO1 has launched), the move of our SafeSwap DEX to Matic, and more, we’ve brought even more great talent to assist with YFDAI’s platform expansion and growth prospects. Great projects require great people at their core to succeed, especially as a young start-up that has carved out its niche in being the most trusted and secure DeFi platform in the industry.
To ensure that we are always moving in unison together to achieve the greater YFDAI vision, it is important to expand the team with great people that are not only the right fit from an experience and expertise perspective, but also from a business culture perspective as well. We are more confident than ever that we have the pieces in place to deliver on our mission of democratizing finance and serving as a catalyst for mass adoption of the next generation of financial products.
