Business Development
At Douro Labs, we're building the next generation of decentralized infrastructure, and Fogo Chain is where that ambition meets execution.
From low-latency oracle integration to cutting-edge app development, our world-class team is dedicated to delivering products that drive results.
As a powerhouse of crypto-native development, Douro Labs combines deep protocol expertise with startup-level speed, delivering scalable, battle-tested products for some of the most important networks in the space.
Together, Fogo and Douro Labs are building the future of DeFi infrastructure — one block at a time.
Fogo is hiring a Partnerships Lead to land Tier-1 protocols and fresh DeFi primitives—making Fogo the default place to build and trade. Own integrations end-to-end, keep bridges/oracles rock-solid, turn incentives and capital into TVL, and amplify the Fogo stack with wallets, dApps, and partners. Ideal: deep DeFi chops, genuine builder/trader relationships, and a track record of partnerships that ship and stick.
