This role requires a strong foundation in DeFi—someone who has firsthand on-chain experience with wallets, bridging, lending, and transactions, combined with analytical and technical skills in data modeling and Excel. The ideal candidate is a self-starter and go-getter, deeply passionate about decentralized finance, able to take ownership of ad-hoc tasks, contribute to technical problem-solving, and help design and manage grant programs. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, technology, and DeFi innovation.

Requirements
- Proven 2-5 years of experience working with DeFi protocols (staking, lending, AMMs, yield farming, bridging).
- Strong technical and mathematical understanding, with demonstrated proficiency in Excel and data modeling.
- First-hand on-chain experience: must own a wallet, have executed transactions, bridged assets, and interacted with DeFi applications.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret on-chain activity and market trends.
