We are looking for an ambitious and self-motivated Sr. Data Scientist who shares our passion for blockchain data and the endless opportunities this data presents. 



The Role
We are looking for gritty, technical Swiss Army Knives who are enthusiastic about quickly translating customer needs into elegant, stable, and performant software solutions.

Your job is to figure out what needs to get done and do it.
Can you balance trade-offs between the speed of delivery and perfection?
Is your code production-ready and a stable foundation for continuous iteration?
Do you love working in new verticals, rolling your sleeves up, and solving fantastically hard data problems – often ones that have never been solved before?
If so - we want you on the team!

Solid understanding of blockchain technology

Curiosity in creating proprietary graph algorithms as well as applying graph data science to blockchain data
Degree in a technical or quantitative discipline, such as statistics, mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, or computer science (all levels welcome, from bachelor’s to doctorate)
You should be comfortable venturing into new and unknown directions while maintaining clarity of purpose. The problems we work on rarely have clean, definitive answers.
