Data Scientist

We are seeking a Data Scientist to join our investments team. The Data Scientist’s primary responsibility will be to interpret on-chain data and provide data-driven insights that power investment decisions. This will involve owning all parts of our data science  tech stack: 

1) Working closely with our engineering team to build efficient ETL pipelines

2) Building tools and frameworks to provide scalable data-driven insights 

3) Producing data-driven reports to supplement investment decisions 

The essence of the role is to live at the bleeding edge of interpreting on-chain crypto data. For the first time in history, all of the data related to a growing digital economy is open source and  available to anyone. However, this data is messy and underexplored. The Data Scientist will be responsible for spearheading our exploration and analysis of on-chain crypto data. 

There will be an emphasis on presenting analyses and findings in a digestible form that influence investment decisions. We are looking for a Data Scientist that can translate data driven insights into concise, well written reports.  

We work as a cohesive team and expect everybody to think like an owner, not an agent. While the first few months will involve hands-on training, the Data Scientist must be a self starter and independent thinker who can operate with minimal supervision. 

Requirements 

• 1-2 years of product/strategy-oriented data science work experience 
• Strong quantitative and statistical analysis background, including regression, hypothesis  testing, clustering analysis, and network analysis 
• Proficiency using SQL, Git, and Python/R, including standard libraries such as Pandas, Numpy, and Tidyverse 
• Proven intuition of translating business problems to statistical problems 
• Excellent written communication 
• Demonstrated interest in crypto. If you cannot describe what Bitcoin, Ethereum, and  DeFi are, then this role is not a fit. Ideally, you are completely obsessed with crypto  
• Deep curiosity, strong opinions, and intellectual flexibility. If you do not hold strong  opinions and almost always agree with the consensus, then this role is not for you 
• No unchecked egos. We all work towards the collective success of the firm, and  do not aim for individual recognition. People who care more about building their  personal brands than contributing to building a world-class team need not apply.  
• Must live or be willing to relocate to NYC. We will be working from the office at least four days per week. 

Salary $125,000 - $150,000 with above-market benefits
