Jito Foundation

About Jito Jito is an organization with the broad mandate to promote the adoption of Jito Network products, including JitoSOL, the largest DeFi protocol on Solana, and BAM, a platform for neutral block building on Solana.

About the Role We're looking for a Data Scientist who thrives on turning messy, high-volume datasets into clear insight and who doesn't need to be pointed at the next problem. You'll work across our blockchain analytics and data infrastructure efforts - building models, running analyses, and surfacing findings that drive product and business decisions. This role is highly autonomous- you’ll independently chase leads, pursue lines of inquiry, and run with optimization opportunities, quantifying impact along the way. Jito is lean, fast, and executes at an elite level. Everyone is expected to have a material impact on the network. Crypto/blockchain domain knowledge is a plus, but what matters most is your ability to think critically, work fluently with data, operate independently, and pick up new domains fast.
