Blockchain Research Analyst

About Allium

Allium is building the System of Record for Onchain Finance. The company ingests, verifies, and standardizes data across 140+ blockchains and 30+ petabytes of history. Allium closes four structural gaps that prevent blockchains from becoming systems of record:

• Semantic Gap: Translating raw events into financial concepts like payments, trades, deposits, and staking income
• Standardization Gap: Mapping thousands of protocols into a single canonical cross-chain schema
• Infrastructure Gap: Read-optimized, globally distributed data at web scale
• Accountability Gap: Auditable methodology, SLAs, and SOC 1 and 2 compliance

The result is a neutral, canonical data layer institutions can build on with confidence. Finance is moving onchain with stablecoins, tokenized assets, trading, staking, and lending growing rapidly. Institutions need a trusted source of truth for onchain financial activity, just as they rely on Bloomberg or DTCC in traditional markets. Raw blockchains cannot serve that role. As AI agents begin transacting autonomously, the requirement becomes even stricter. Agents cannot reason over raw event logs. They need structured data, attribution, condition checks, and auditability. Allium is the read layer that makes onchain finance usable for humans and machines.

Allium's customers and users include Visa, Stripe, G-SIB Banks, Big 4 Accounting firms, BCG, Coinbase, Phantom, Uniswap and are cited by the Federal Reserve.

Who We Serve

Allium powers three core personas with the same canonical data foundation:

• Finance, Accounting, and Risk Teams: They need reliable, audit-grade answers. They rely on Allium for financial reporting, reconciliation, compliance, risk monitoring, and defensible metrics that can stand up to auditors and regulators.
• Engineers and Product Teams: They need low latency, production-ready infrastructure. They use Allium to power wallets, trading systems, payment rails, staking infrastructure, and real-time applications that cannot break.
• Strategy, Research, and Executive Teams: They need clarity and insight. They use Allium to understand ecosystem economics, market structure, user behavior, competitive dynamics, and where capital is flowing onchain.

The Role

Allium is seeking a Research Analyst to transform blockchain data into actionable insights. You will work closely with the team of data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders to develop, build, and maintain dashboards, reports, and content that drive strategic decision-making and conversations across the largest institutions and companies in the industry. Shape how the crypto community and institutions interpret on-chain activity, while learning from leading blockchain data engineers and analysts.

What You'll Do

• Develop blockchain analytics: Build, maintain, and optimize queries (SQL) and insights from massive multi-chain datasets
• Build research dashboards and reports: Design and maintain dashboards and visual reports that drive strategic decision-making
• Produce concise market updates and research: Analyze institutional trends (e.g., stablecoins, tokenized assets, onchain finance), protocol mechanics, market structure, and major crypto events
• Shape the narrative for the industry: Write compelling data-driven content (blogs, social media posts, research reports) to build Allium's brand and your personal brand to become an authoritative voice to the largest industry players
• Cross-functional scaling: Collaborate with sales, marketing, and product/engineering to distribute insights, provide product feedback, and highlight Allium's data stack

About You

• Crypto-native: You deeply understand crypto concepts and are always tracking emerging trends
• Strong proficiency in SQL and data: Able to write complex queries (joins, grouping, CTEs, window functions) and optimize for performance and UX
• Natural data storyteller: You use the numbers to build a compelling narrative versus having numbers for their own sake. You turn complex data into clear, shareable insights. You have an opinionated view backed by data and tie back to why people should care
• You are an owner: You are proactive, responsible, and adaptable. You take pride in your work and take responsibility for your decisions, and also respect others with theirs. You have excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and meet deadlines all while operating in a highly ambiguous and fast-changing environment. You want to build your personal brand and are confident staking your reputation on the quality of your work
• You are a doer: You get stuff done and move with unusual urgency, take pride in continual improvement, and iteratively integrate feedback
• You have high integrity: You uphold the highest standards of discretion and integrity. You'll be entrusted with a range of confidential information, from customer information to company financial details
• Institutional background and understanding is a major plus

Allium Values

• Pro Athlete Mindset: Consistency. Day in and day out, in pursuit of excellence. A win yesterday does not guarantee (or even imply!) a win tomorrow.
• Figure It Out and Extreme Ownership: Every day is unexplored territory. There are new engineering frameworks, new legal docs, new compliance, new sales, new regulations, and new operational procedures every single day. If you don't know it, learn it. If you can't learn it, find someone or a product that does it. If you can't find someone, find someone who can find someone. It is never lack of resources, but lack of resourcefulness.
• High Agency: One of the highest commonalities between all successful people is their responsiveness. Most successful billionaire CEOs still reply to emails within minutes. When you reply, respond fast with effective solutions and even better, resolutions. High agency of problem solving gets one very far in life.
• Leading from the Front: No one is going to listen to (and adopt) your suggestion unless you lead by example. It's one thing to say we need to do XYZ this better and it's another thing to build an MVP and say "This is the way we should do things". The proof of work and momentum goes a long way.
• Strong Opinions On the Future (loosely held): It is okay to be wrong, but what is not okay is not to have an idea of how a better future should be. Alliumites take pride in trying to improve everything about the company all the time.
• Sense of (allium) business smell: We love folks who naturally want to know why and how the work they are doing builds leverage for their teammates and also relates to the business goals

About The Team

Allium invites people of all backgrounds. The company has engineers who learned coding much later in life, who learned coding on the side, engineers who are still in school, and engineers who went to top schools (CMU, Stanford, UIUC, UPenn, Oxford, NUS, Cornell). All are welcome if one comes in with a curious mind and an infectious work ethic.

The sun never sets on Allium—the company hires from any geographical location as long as you are willing to overlap 2 hours on NYC mornings Mon-Thurs from 10am-12pm ET. The team has people based in New York, Seattle, Singapore, and Australia.
