Job description

On-Chain Quant Researcher | Crypto Trading

We're working with several crypto trading firms looking for researchers who can extract alpha from blockchain data.

The work spans building data pipelines from on-chain sources, parsing smart contract logs (EVM/Solana/Cosmos), classifying wallet addresses, and turning it all into tradeable signals. You'd be working closely with traders and quants – what you build goes straight into production.

Strong Python, SQL, comfort with messy blockchain data. Bonus if you've run node infrastructure, worked with DeFi protocols directly, or have Rust/Solidity exposure.

Prior trading firm experience is great but not essential – if you've been doing this at a protocol, as an independent researcher, or you're just deep in the weeds on-chain, let's talk.
