Role Description We are seeking a Senior Event-Driven Researcher to strengthen the firm’s ability to interpret complex, fast-moving situations inside crypto markets. The role focuses on crypto-native event catalysts—regulatory developments, protocol governance, token unlocks, and special situations—and translating them into actionable insight and tradeable opportunities. You’ll research and synthesize fragmented and evolving information into a coherent view of what matters, what does not, and how it should inform positioning and risk for the firm. This role sits within a best-in-class crypto research operation, where research directly informs decision-making and ideas are rigorously challenged and debated. You'll work alongside on-chain and real-time intelligence teams, with access to unique data sources and proprietary tooling that most crypto firms don't have. Qualifications - Prior experience (5 years+) in information and flows-driven research or trading, within a tier1 buy-side or proprietary trading environment. - Demonstrated ability to operate in event-driven settings, where outcomes depend on interpreting incomplete information, incentives, and evolving situations rather than static fundamentals. - Comfort engaging with a wide range of event-driven situations, requiring intellectual curiosity and the ability to quickly build conviction across diverse topics. - Deep crypto experience is not required, but you should demonstrate genuine intellectual curiosity about the space and a credible path to ramping up quickly. - Backgrounds that tend to translate well include roles in macro, EM, FX, commodities, event-driven or special situations research, and other environments where information flow, positioning, and timing are central. - Backgrounds that tend to be a weaker fit include highly systematic or delta-neutral strategies, and roles focused primarily on long-only fundamental analysis rather than events and decision-making under uncertainty. Requirements - Ability to go deep into details when required, while maintaining a holistic view of the situation and its implications. - Ability to hold and adapt coherent views as situations evolve. - Comfort with rigorous debate, constructive challenge, and the ability to collaborate effectively across research, trading, and engineering teams. - Strong intrinsic motivation to become an exceptional, top-tier researcher. Interview Process - CV Screening – Review of your background and experience relative to the role. - Initial Interview – Discussion focused on your ability to ask the right questions, exercise judgment with incomplete information, and frame event-driven situations. - Technical / Case Interview – Evaluation of problem solving and writing skills. - Co-Founder/CIO Interview – A concluding discussion to evaluate cultural fit, strategic alignment, and how you resonate with the firm’s values.
