BlockchainExecution is a digital asset hedge fund. We have a track record of success in both traditional and crypto markets. We are an intentionally small team of analysts, quants, traders, developers, and sales. We deploy basic trading strategies such as optimized staking and lending, as well as more nuanced strategies such as MEV (sequencing). We do not deploy highly speculative strategies, but seek to generate returns by solving market inefficiencies and effectively managing our operational risk.
The purpose of this role is to aggregate and process the immense amount of information in the digital asset sector. This role will start out effectively manual and eventually transition into a more streamlined process with assistance from our development team. From this research, we will develop strategies to deploy additional capital and generate revenue.
There are two types of data which need to be collected. You will be in charge of both. These types are:
-
Quantitative - this is, for example, historical price data across DEXs and AMMs. This data needs to be aggregated such that we can run algorithms on these datasets (back testing).
-
Qualitative-thisistypicallymoredescriptive,forexampleitmaybean analysis of different MEV sequencer strategies. Often times this will require not simply aggregating information, but performing your own analysis to elicit insights ahead of the market
We’re looking for
At least 1 year of experience as a research analyst in the digital asset space.

chains, etc.
- Blockchain interoperability protocols
- Comprehensive knowledge of DEXs, AMMs, aggregators, lending
protocols, and staking protocols
- Token economics of major projects and liquidity mining
strategies
+ Excellent knowledge of crypto influencers, distribution channels, and
crypto communities
+ Good understanding of basic financial principles, i.e. leverage, fixed
income, borrowing and lending, options, etc.
+ At least 1 year experience working with a software engineering team.
