Job OverviewWe are seeking a crypto-native on-chain researcher to join the research team. You will support our senior researchers with real-time monitoring and attribution, helping the team keep continuous coverage of market-moving on-chain activity.
The core of this role is on-chain attribution and monitoring: identifying who is behind wallets, clusters, and flows, and doing it accurately while handling uncertainty. Accurate attribution underpins everything else we build on top of it, including the charts, alerts, and monitoring workflows the team relies on to interpret market-moving activity in real time.
This is an opportunity for a talented on-chain researcher to work in a highly collaborative environment with access to substantial data, technology and trading infrastructure.
ResponsibilitiesAttribution & Blockchain Analysis- Perform entity attribution, wallet clustering, and transaction graph analysis across account-based and UTXO-based blockchains.
- Investigate unknown wallets and clusters, weighing the evidence and stating confidence honestly before conclusions are shared.
- Analyze exchange flows, treasury and insider activity, token unlocks, vesting, and cross-venue capital movement.
- Investigate unfamiliar protocols, entities, and market events quickly and report what the on-chain data does and does not show.
Real-Time Monitoring & Coverage- Monitor on-chain activity and market events in real time for potentially tradeable signals, and escalate them to the senior team.
- Build and maintain monitoring workflows, dashboards, and alerts for themes and entities of interest.
- Communicate complex blockchain activity clearly and concisely to researchers and traders, including under time pressure in volatile markets.
- Provide coverage and backup for senior researchers when colleagues are out.
Research Support & Tooling- Support senior researchers on exploratory analysis across Bitcoin, EVM ecosystems, and major non-EVM blockchains.
- Query and analyze blockchain datasets using SQL and APIs, including our internal data platforms, to validate hypotheses quickly.
- Use modern analytical and AI-assisted tooling to speed up attribution, summarization, and ad hoc research.
- Collaborate with engineering on datasets, monitoring systems, and research tooling.
RequirementsMust HavesExperience & Knowledge- 2 to 3 years of experience in blockchain analysis, crypto research, or a related field.
- Demonstrable, hands-on experience with on-chain attribution: wallet clustering, entity analysis, and investigating unknown addresses.
- Publicly available research or analysis that we can review before interviews (for example, threads, reports, dashboards, or write-ups).
- Working familiarity with Bitcoin, EVM ecosystems, and at least one major non-EVM blockchain.
- Understanding of how on-chain activity such as exchange flows, unlocks, and treasury movements relates to market behavior.
Technical & Analytical Skills- Working proficiency in SQL and APIs, with experience querying large blockchain datasets.
- Experience with blockchain analytics and visualization platforms such as Dune, Flipside, Arkham, Nansen, Etherscan, Solscan, or similar tools.
- Familiarity with Bitcoin's UTXO model and associated transaction analysis techniques.
- Python or a similar language for research and prototyping.
- Good judgment about what is signal and what is noise in incomplete or fast-moving data.
Operational & Communication Skills- Strong attention to detail while tracking several assets and themes at once.
- Clear written and verbal communication, especially under time pressure.
- Ownership, self-direction, and intellectual curiosity.
- Ability to work collaboratively across research, trading, and engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience at a trading firm, hedge fund, market intelligence firm, or crypto-native research organization.
- Experience building monitoring dashboards, alerts, or information aggregation workflows.
- Experience interpreting real-time market events, such as unlocks, governance actions, liquidations, hacks, and bridge movements.
- Familiarity with derivatives positioning or cross-venue flows.
- A network within the crypto ecosystem and familiarity with key entities, protocols, and information channels.
Interview Process- CV Screening - We will review your application based on the qualifications and experience outlined above.
- Phone Interview - A discussion with the Talent Acquisition Partner to better understand your background, career motivations, and overall alignment.
- Written follow-up - A few short written questions on your on-chain research process, reviewed by the research team.
- First Interview - Interview with our On-chain Research Lead on your experience and general technical knowledge.
- Second Interview - A deeper look at your attribution methodology, how you validate on-chain signals, and your public research.
- CIO Interview - A concluding discussion to evaluate cultural fit, strategic alignment, and how you resonate with the firm's values.
