Job summary

Chainlink Labs seeks a data scientist who understands financial markets to build real-time pricing systems that produce high-integrity reference prices across thousands of assets. As a member of this team, you'll design the models and detection logic that keep those prices trustworthy under stress.

You will work with on-chain data, DeFi primitives, and oracle feeds, applying anomaly detection and incident response to quantify user impact and prevent recurrence.

Qualifications

• Working knowledge of core DeFi primitives and on-chain signals.
• Understanding of oracle price feed construction and common failure modes.
• On-chain data fluency, including reading EVM logs/traces and understanding token standards.

Responsibilities

• Build real-time pricing systems
• Model complex, adversarial markets to understand risk origins
• Lead data forensics during incidents, including pre/post-trade analysis
• Quantify user impact and develop fixes to reduce recurrence
