Job description

Blockstream was founded in 2014 by Dr. Adam Back and a group of fellow cryptographers and engineers who are passionate about Bitcoin and its potential to change the world. Today, Blockstream is the leading Bitcoin company, providing cutting‑edge infrastructure solutions for enterprises, institutions, and individual Bitcoin users. We develop industry‑leading Bitcoin self‑custody solutions, Bitcoin‑based financial products, second‑layer scaling technologies, and enterprise‑grade blockchain infrastructure.

The Finance team at Blockstream plays an integral part in scaling the world’s leading Bitcoin infrastructure company. We’re looking for a highly motivated individual to join our team with a key role in driving financial strategy across our Consumer Products and Enterprise Solutions divisions.

As a Senior Financial Analyst, you will partner with business leaders across the company to drive strategic decision‑making through financial insights and analysis. You’ll work with leaders across the company, using your financial insights and analysis to help them make better decisions. If you love data, building models, and acting as a translator between technical and business teams, this could be the perfect opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing (Responsibilities)

Strategic Finance & Planning

• Lead rolling forecasts, annual planning, and scenario modeling across Consumer Products and Enterprise Solutions
• Build and maintain financial models for fundraising, M&A evaluation, and strategic decision‑making
• Own board materials and investor reporting — translating unit economics, KPIs, and Bitcoin‑native metrics into clear, compelling narratives
• Drive monthly business reviews with the executive team; be the connective tissue between Finance and Product, Engineering, and Business Development

AI‑Native Operations

• Design and deploy AI‑assisted workflows that automate recurring FP&A processes — variance analysis, forecast refreshes, reporting packages — using Claude, GPT, Gemini, or equivalent
• Identify where LLMs can replace low‑value analytical labor and build the infrastructure to make that permanent

Business Partnership

• Partner with business unit leaders to analyze ROI on infrastructure investments and new product initiatives
• Develop pricing frameworks for crypto services, custody solutions, and consumer hardware
• Translate on‑chain data alongside traditional financials into insights that drive operating decisions

What We Look For in You (Required Qualifications)

• 4–7+ years in Strategic Finance, FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Investment Banking
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools (Claude, GPT, Gemini) to automate or accelerate financial analysis workflows, not just as a chat interface, but as an operational layer
• Advanced financial modeling in Excel or Google Sheets; ability to build dynamic, scenario‑driven models from scratch
• Exceptional communication skills — you can write a board narrative and present to a CFO without hand‑holding
• Highly organized; capable of managing competing priorities in a fast‑moving environment
• Understanding of Bitcoin fundamentals and cryptocurrency markets

Nice To Haves (Preferred Qualifications)

• Hands‑on experience with workflow automation tools (n8n, Zapier, Make) or LLM API integration
• Familiarity with SQL or Python, not required, but useful for validating AI‑generated outputs
• Experience with ERP or BI platforms (NetSuite, Looker, Tableau)
• CFA or MBA
• Background in Bitcoin, crypto, or high‑growth fintech
• Experience at a startup

Compensation & Benefits

The salary range for this role is $120,000 – $150,000 USD, depending on skills and experience. In addition to base salary, full‑time Blockstream employees receive target equity grants and comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)).

Work Environment

This is a hybrid position, with an expectation of 2–3 days per week in our Los Angeles office.
