  • Advanced degree in Finance, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related field is encouraged.
  • Demonstrated experience writing professional research reports, preferably within DeFi highlighting trade-offs of various Finance protocols or subsectors (DEX, Lending, Options, etc.).
  • Experience with portfolio construction and managing against a risk budget is a plus.

The Skills You Bring
  • Deep understanding of the current state of various DeFi projects and new projects or integrations.
  • Familiarity with asset valuation and smart contracts (trading on-chain).
  • Strong hands-on research capabilities and an ability to communicate research to a broad audience.
  • Collaborative, creative and team-oriented approach to R&D, investing and technology. Ability to work across teams whose skill sets span blockchain, fundamental and quant research, data-science and technology.
  • Familiarity with modern technology and programming platforms. E.g., Python, SQL, Solidity and cloud-oriented data technology (AWS, Azure, S3, Snowflake).

The base salary range for this position is $90,000 - $175,000 per year.
Placement in the range will vary based on job responsibilities and scope, geographic location, candidate's relevant experience, and other factors.
