We value quick-witted, creative minds and challenge them to make full use of their capacities.

What You Will Do

Conduct deep-dive research into DeFi protocols, new key trends in the market with a particular focus on infrastructure projects (L1s/L2s, staking platforms, bridges, middleware), and validator economics
Identify early-stage trends and alpha-generating opportunities across public and private markets
Collaborate closely with traders to flag market inefficiencies, arbitrage setups, and potential partnerships
Support the validator business with research on staking economics, slashing risks, delegation flows, and protocol incentives
Identify and present strategic venture capital investment opportunities emerging
Build and maintain dashboards using on-chain and off-chain data (e.g., Dune, Nansen, Token Terminal)
Work with BD to translate insights into actionable strategies, decks, and partner materials
Contribute to external-facing content, including market commentary, protocol breakdowns, and quarterly ecosystem outlooks
Monitor regulatory, macro, and technological developments impacting the digital asset landscape

What You Need to Succeed

2–4 years of experience in crypto research, investment analysis, or a trading firm
Deep familiarity with DeFi mechanics, tokenomics, and L1/L2 infrastructure
Hands-on experience with on-chain data tools (e.g., Dune, Nansen) and basic data analysis (e.g., SQL, Python)
Strong written communication skills and the ability to distill complex technical topics
Understanding of smart contract architecture (no need to audit, but can analyze mechanisms)
Team-oriented mindset with the ability to work cross-functionally between trading and BD & Venture team.
