- Validate blockchain transactions and reconcile onchain data with internal ledgers and data sources.
- Interact with blockchain APIs and our data lake to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
- Build and maintain automated data models and ETL pipelines using SQL, Python, Airflow, and dbt.
- Design dashboards that reveal trends across user growth, capital movement, and transaction health.
- Develop and automate KPIs to monitor product health, payments success, and system reliability.
- Partner with engineers to improve data quality, schema design, and pipeline performance.
- Communicate insights through clear, actionable storytelling accessible to all audiences.
Skills you should Hold
- 3+ years in analytics, ideally in crypto, fintech, or financial platforms.
- Strong understanding of blockchain fundamentals (wallets, bridges, DEXs, token mechanics).
- Proficiency in SQL and Python (pandas, numpy, visualization tools).
- Experience developing ETL pipelines with Airflow or equivalent orchestrators.
- Familiarity with dbt and version-controlled analytics workflows.
- Ability to build clear and intuitive BI dashboards (QuickSight, Tableau, etc.).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a detail-oriented mindset.
- Excellent communication skills for translating technical findings into business impact.
