About the role

  • Your task is the ruthless pursuit of blockchain identity labels through powerful modelling.
  • Your days are split between our proprietary dataset and on-chain developments, identifying the most effective models to build and building them.
  • Your team’s success is measured by the scale and value of the intelligence you generate and how well you can liaise with clients and partners to capture requirements. This intelligence powers everything we sell and everything we say here at Elliptic.
  • Stay abreast of technical developments on chain and in the ecosystem through continuous research.
  • Use the knowledge you gain above to identify new tools and models to build. Prioritise based on efficiency, unit economics and value to our business.
  • Work in a highly collaborative global team with engineers, blockchain analysts, data scientists, researchers. Your shared goal is creating intelligence, each contributing in different ways.
  • Be deeply opinionated about where we’re spending our time (as the above team in particular, but also as a company), and how we can increase the value of our intelligence.
  • Own your time and output based on the above. Is your time better spent today building a model or researching a new more powerful model?
  • Participate in a collegiate group of blockchain experts, share your knowledge across our business and with our customers wherever it is effective.
