You'll drive the development of machine learning and predictive analytics to enhance trading performance analysis, capital allocation efficiency, and risk modeling.

• Drive Quantitative Insights: Design, develop, and maintain quantitative models and analytical tools to support trading performance analysis (alpha/beta attribution), capital efficiency tracking, and P&L breakdown.

• Develop Strategic Intelligence: Apply advanced analytical techniques and statistical modeling to optimize liquidity analysis, treasury yield potential, and risk exposure within proprietary trading and DeFi protocols.

• Deliver Actionable Solutions: Partner with Trading, Research, Risk, and Treasury Operations teams to understand complex business problems and rapidly deploy data-driven solutions and reporting.

• Build High-Fidelity Dashboards: Design and implement dynamic, real-time dashboards and visualization tools that provide instant, high-fidelity views of metrics like trading volumes, key risk indicators, and smart contract performance.

• Mine Complex Datasets: Conduct deep dives into high-volume datasets, including exchange order book data, on-chain transaction logs, smart contract data, and market microstructure, to identify actionable trends, risks, and optimization opportunities.

• Ensure Data Quality: Take ownership of data accuracy and integrity across our market and financial data pipelines, troubleshooting data anomalies and ensuring reliable reporting.

• Influence Strategy: Present compelling findings and well-supported recommendations to senior stakeholders, using data storytelling to drive strategic decisions in a high-stakes environment.

Experience & Qualifications:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Quantitative Finance, Economics, or a related field.

• 7+ years of progressive experience in data science or quantitative analytics, preferably within a trading, hedge fund, or high-growth fintech environment.

• Demonstrated expertise in statistical modeling, time series analysis, and applying predictive analytics to financial datasets.

• Required proficiency with data visualization tools (Tableau/Looker) and expert skills in programming languages such as Python (with NumPy/Pandas) and SQL for complex data manipulation.

• Proven ability to work independently with high-frequency/high-volume data and manage end-to-end data analysis projects including database architecture, leveraging tools like BigQuer/Snowflake/dbt.

• Strong working knowledge of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols is highly preferred.

• Exceptional problem-solving, analytical, and technical communication skills, coupled with a bias for action in a challenging, fast-paced setting.
