Business Development - Perps

Bring the world's leading traders to
pump.fun — and make it the home of social trading.

WHO WE ARE

Baton Corporation builds and maintains pump.fun , a consumer crypto product built around token creation, discovery and trading.

pump.fun is one of the youngest top revenue-generating companies on the planet. We are just getting started.

We ship to production daily. Bureaucracy is minimal. We solve hard technical and go-to-market problems at scale, and we're data-driven - systematic tools and the scientific method decide what works, not opinions.

Working with us isn't for everyone. Hours are long and sometimes strange. The pace is intense. Individuals own their function end to end. When we ship something, it reaches hundreds of thousands of users within days - and that is exactly what makes it so much fun.

THE ROLE

pump.fun is becoming the place where crypto trades in public. To grow the social graph on the pump.fun app, we need to onboard the top traders in the world across every market we support - and perps is one of the biggest. When great traders trade in the open, everyone else follows. That flywheel starts with you.

We're hiring a Perps Business Development lead to own this market. Your job: win the leverage crowd. Bring high-volume perpetuals traders, whales and the biggest creators in the perps ecosystem onto pump.fun , and make it the place they share positions, show their PnL and build a following.

This is a hands‑on, front‑line role, not account management. You'll find traders, win them, onboard them and make them stick - then turn what you learn into a playbook for the next thousand. You'll sit close to product and engineering, so the feedback you bring in becomes features in days, not quarters. It's one of three new BD seats at Baton, alongside Prediction Markets and Trading Terminal.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Find and win the traders who move markets - map the top traders, KOLs, whales, etc. in your market and get them trading on the pump.fun app

Own your pipeline end to end - from the first DM on X or Telegram to onboarded, active and trading in public

Grow the social graph - get high‑signal traders sharing positions, calls and PnL on pump.fun so their followers come with them

Design deals that work for both sides - referral, ambassador, creator and partnership structures that are worth a top trader's time and tied to measurable activity

Be the voice of the trader inside Baton - bring sharp, specific feedback to product and engineering, and help shape the features your market needs

Show up where traders are - online across Crypto Twitter, Telegram and Discord, and more

Track what matters - traders onboarded, retained activity, volume and social engagement

Build the playbook - each seat is the first of its kind at Baton; what works for you becomes how we grow the market

Perps-native fluency - you understand leverage, funding rates, liquidations, open interest and the venues where serious perps traders live, and you can talk to a pro trader as a peer

Relentless follow‑up - you keep a clean pipeline, follow through on every thread and turn conversations into results
