- Experience with crypto-specific data (e.g., order book data, on-chain analytics, DEX/CEX APIs).
- Deep understanding of cryptocurrency markets, blockchain technology, DeFi protocols, and market microstructure (e.g., AMMs, staking, liquidity pools).
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to derive insights from noisy and complex datasets.
- Ability to articulate complex quantitative concepts to both technical and non-technical team members.
Bonus Skills:
- Experience with alternative data sources (e.g., social sentiment, on-chain transaction data).
- Knowledge of smart contract analysis or blockchain forensics.
