Company mission
To help investors make the most of the rapidly-emerging cryptocurrency asset class, through index funds and investments products they can trust.
Role
Who you are
- You have 5+ years experience in research, engineering, and/or data-focused roles, including data analysis, data science, data engineering, financial modeling, or research. Previous crypto and TradFi experience is a plus
- You are obsessed with crypto and have hands-on experience interacting with crypto protocols (e.g., through app usage, advising a crypto project, participating in a DAO, and/or doing your own deep dives into projects)
- You have advanced skills in Python, R, and SQL and have experience working in a production coding environment. You’re highly skilled in leveraging these languages for data manipulation, analysis, automation, and visualization, and can interact with large data sets programmatically including on-chain data and financial data
- You have a knack for extracting insights from vast amounts of data, including structuring and cleaning raw data, performing exploratory data analysis, and creating models to uncover trends and patterns
- You pay exceptional attention to detail. Accuracy is your mantra. You rigorously check your work, ensure data quality and integrity across every touchpoint, and pride yourself on delivering insights that are as reliable as they are meaningful
- You take a collaborative and communicative approach to your work. You work well with cross-functional teams, can clearly communicate complex findings, and understand how your work supports broader company objectives
- The idea of being early on a small team where things change rapidly and everyone pitches in excites you. You understand that contributing to a high-growth company involves wearing many hats and tackling problems outside of your comfort zone
- This role is ideal for someone who is equal parts data wizard, crypto expert, and problem solver, ready to help Bitwise navigate the cutting edge of digital assets with clarity and conviction
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an exceptional individual to join the Research team as our Data Analyst, where you’ll build out and spearhead the Research team’s data pipelines, infrastructure, and strategy
- Design and optimize the backbone of our data architecture, ensuring we can seamlessly analyze vast data streams and leverage insights in real time. Identify opportunities to streamline processes and build automated solutions, helping us focus on high-impact research and ensuring our analysis remains efficient and consistent
- Ensure the accuracy and reliability of our data by implementing rigorous validation processes and addressing discrepancies, which is critical for maintaining the trust of our research outputs
- Dive deep into the metrics and movements shaping the crypto market, leveraging Python, R, and/or SQL to deliver actionable insights that drive our research and investment strategies forward
- Develop and maintain data models, key metrics, and reports, enhancing data infrastructure for better analysis
- Work closely with other analysts to contribute to collaborative research projects with robust data analysis, enhancing Bitwise’s thought leadership and educational resources
- Leverage on-chain and off-chain data to build expertise, analysis, and relationships; generate insightful opinions and narratives that move the ecosystem forward; and educate and inform Bitwise clients
- Contribute to Bitwise’s product strategy for both traditional financial products and products on the crypto-native/on-chain frontier
- You will have the opportunity to experience rapid growth and work on the highest-impact initiatives within the company
- In the process, you will shape research, data, and product strategy at one of the fastest-growing crypto asset managers in the world
Our take
Bitwise is the biggest cryptocurrency index fund manager in the world. The company buys up currencies that look promising and could store them for its investors. This allows people who are interested in investing but wary of cryptocurrency to gain a little exposure without in-depth knowledge or major time investment. Bitwise is therefore making cryptocurrency more accessible, and the number of investors is growing fast.
Bitwise offers Bitwise Asset Management, which provides index and beta crypto funds to investors. The firm specializes in supporting and educating professional investors, and it has relationships with RIAs, financial advisors, hedge funds, etc. The cryptocurrency market is often viewed as high-risk and volatile, so these relationships are a demonstration of the company’s established trust. This vote of confidence and connection with traditional financial companies is invaluable for Bitwise's future as a trusted partner.
