About the role

  • Draft AI decision trees & constraints (signal priority, risk guardrails, “do-not-infer” rules)
  • Maintain a living playbook for how AI should interpret different market data: funding/OI regimes, unlock calendars, liquidity pockets, whale flow, basis/futures dynamics
  • Design workflows & product components (portfolio viewer, OI/funding monitors, holders/flow dashboards, catalyst trackers, trading reports for hot tokens)
  • Write clear system guidelines for how the AI condenses, cites, and interprets market data
  • Create evaluation rubrics & task batteries to score AI outputs (accuracy, calibration, usefulness, abstentions)
  • Conduct user interviews, synthesize insights, and turn feedback into shippable changes
  • Instrument lightweight feedback (thumbs, rationale capture, “what should it have done?” prompts) and track weekly deltas
  • Collaborate with engineers on offline evals + online A/Bs; iterate based on data and user signals to improve AI system’s delivery of high-quality actionable financial insights

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a university program (undergrad or grad); able to work part-time during the term
  • Strong grasp of crypto market structure (perps/funding, OI, liquidity/slippage, unlocks/emissions, staking/LST/LRT)
  • Ability to write tight specs & guidelines (decision criteria, do/don’t lists, evaluation metrics)
  • Comfort with crypto-native tools & UX (what traders actually use and expect)
  • Experience using Dune, Nansen, DefiLlama, TradingView, Dexscreener, and similar
  • Bias to ship, measure, iterate; excellent written communication; curiosity and integrity
Benefits
  • Competitive salary
  • Top-of-the-line engineers and technology
  • Opportunity to shape the direction of a pioneering open AI platform
