  • Model complex, adversarial markets to identify and quantify risks, leading data forensics during incidents.
  • Conduct pre/post-trade analysis, benchmark against pool price deltas, and address liquidity gaps.
  • Utilize your knowledge of core DeFi primitives to generate on-chain signals and construct effective price feeds.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance data quality and develop anomaly detection systems.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of DeFi primitives and their on-chain signal generation.
  • Experience with oracle literacy, including how on/off-chain price feeds are constructed and common failure modes.
  • Proficiency in reading EVM logs/traces and understanding token standards (ERC-20/721/1155).
  • Knowledge of blockchain fundamentals that affect alerting and market microstructure awareness.
  • Hands-on experience with Chainlink data products and incident response.
