About Oku

Oku offers the best user experience in DeFi. Since launching in July 2023 as an “Advanced Interface for Uniswap v3,” - we’ve continued to grow the platform, adding new features and tools for our users. With composability only found onchain, we’ve integrated some of DeFi’s top protocols into the interface, bringing an all-inclusive experience into the Oku platform. Our goal has always been to create a user experience that rivals the largest crypto exchanges, such as Binance and Coinbase. We’re rapidly approaching this goal and are ready to welcome the masses to Oku.

​

Our primary feature is the trading tool, enabling swaps with advanced Uniswap v3 analytics, limit orders, and smart order routing from eight unique routers. The platform also hosts a Uniswap v3 position manager with liquidity depth charts and position backtesting. This summer, we added bridging to the interface, integrating ten unique bridges that compete to get users the cheapest and fastest routes. Our most recent feature is an on/off ramp with the lowest fees in crypto at 0.25%.

Why work at Oku?

• Any firm can pay a high salary and offer good incentives (as will we), but most can’t offer interesting, challenging, and rewarding work.
• We have something to prove. Our team is young and hungry. We like to move fast and make things. We know when to double down and when to cut our losses. We are going to make mistakes, and we are going to build a better product because of them. We don’t micromanage or have a huge team of product managers. We want self starters who take charge and solve problems.
• We don’t care if you went to school, what grades you got, or your age. Show us what you have built, what problems you have solved, and what skills you have.
