Senior Event-Driven Researcher

Overview

This role strengthens the organization’s ability to interpret complex, fast-moving situations inside crypto markets.

The work 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 will 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.

Responsibilities

• Develop deep, context-rich views on event-driven situations to create informational edge over the market.
• Own situations end-to-end, maintaining a running view as facts and narratives evolve.
• Monitor and interpret new information as it emerges, distinguishing signal from noise and clearly communicating what matters, what does not, and how it changes the decision set/probability tree.
• Identify actionable, asymmetric opportunities early, grounded in a well-developed understanding of the situation rather than reactive interpretation.
• Contribute to the development of the organization’s research capabilities by partnering with engineering to shape tools and workflows that support event-driven trading.
• Collaborate closely with on-chain and real-time intelligence teams, leveraging unique data sources and proprietary tooling.

Requirements

• 5 years+ of experience 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, with intellectual curiosity and the ability to build conviction quickly across diverse topics.
• Deep crypto experience is not required, but the candidate 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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 effective collaboration 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: Concluding discussion to evaluate cultural fit, strategic alignment, and how you resonate with the organization’s values.
