It's rare that a new asset class is born. Nevertheless, we're witnessing exactly that with the rise of crypto. Over just the last four years, crypto has evolved from an embryonic $350B market to a growing $3T+ juggernaut.

Our goal at Bitwise is to help investors understand and access the opportunities emerging in the new crypto asset class. 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.

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 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.
