Head of Institutional Liquidity

Title: Head of Institutional Liquidity / Prime Brokerage
Location:SF, NYC, USA- Istanbul, Turkey (Remote / On-site sprint starting August)
Compensation: Austerity Fiat Baseline + Phase II Profit Yield (Revenue Share)

The Mandate:
An exchange without liquidity is a ghost town. You own the institutional bridge for WEAXESS. Your mandate is to connect our core to Tier-1 Market Makers, OTC desks, and Prime Brokerage networks. You understand FIX protocol connectivity from a business perspective. You know how to negotiate rebate tiers, SLA uptime requirements, and API rate limits with the largest liquidity providers in the world.

The Filter:

If your background is "Web3 Partnerships" or "Community Management," do not apply.

You must have an existing Rolodex of institutional market makers (e.g., Wintermute, Cumberland, Jump) or traditional prime brokers.

You speak the language of basis points, maker/taker models, and capital efficiency.

The Reality:
70-day physical sprint in Istanbul starting in August. You operate under an austerity fiat baseline to preserve treasury capital. In exchange, you own a permanent, uncapped percentage of the global net profit pool of the exchange.

Application Tripwire (Answer in 3 sentences max in your cover letter):
A Tier-1 Market Maker agrees to provide deep liquidity on our BTC/USDT pair, but demands a direct cross-connect to our matching engine and zero-fee maker status. How do you structure their SLA to ensure they don't widen their spreads during a 10% market crash?
