• Managing ongoing relationships with DeFi teams to keep up to date on the latest news before it becomes alpha
• Working with our Data Engineering team to build out real time analytics and portfolio monitoring systems
• Engaging crypto community on social media for due diligence and product / UX feedback
• Producing thought leadership content (blog, CT)

Requirements

Requirements:

• Common sense
• 2+ years of experience in either of: Crypto, CS, Engineering, Math, TradFi, FinTech
• 1+ year of active crypto-native experience (multi-chain is a plus) and extensive knowledge of the ecosystem and cryptoeconomics
• Be equally comfortable doing fundamental research and working with datasets
• Know your way around CT / Discord / Dune Analytics
• Understand reading chain data and working with contracts on Etherscan
• Foundational knowledge of data science / math / computer science
• Pragmatic and sober probabilistic approach to decision making
• Strong communication skills and ability to build and maintain a network of long-term relationships

Attributes:

• High-energy, high-integrity
• Ownership mentality
• Genuine intellectual curiosity, desire to learn and obsession with crypto 
• Sharp analytical mind with disciplined and organised approach and attention to detail
• Ability to quickly synthesize complex, disparate sources of information and form a point of view
• Forward thinking and able to anticipate cause and effect in a fast moving market 

The Process:

Email us ([email protected]) a 1-pager highlighting your favorite DeFi wallet to watch. Explain how you found out about the wallet, why it is your favorite, highlight some of their most interesting positions and what are the top risks to these positions.

In the same email tell us about your worst mistake / loss and also add anything relevant (CV, degenscore, CT threads etc).
