Solana is a high performance blockchain that can deliver a fast and friendly user experience, without sacrificing security. The Solana Foundation is working to realize a world where individuals own their data, use permissionless networks, and transfer information and value freely around the world. We are looking for talented people who are willing to jump right in and use their expertise to help the ecosystem build.

At Solana Foundation, we facilitate development across the ecosystem — from the core protocol and infrastructure to developer tooling and applications. This role will help transform ecosystem and blockchain data into actionable insights that improve product decisions, ecosystem health, and user experiences. Your analyses will influence how teams measure network performance, evaluate protocol changes, and understand ecosystem trends.

• Build dashboards, reports, and visualizations that communicate complex findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences

• Develop and maintain reliable datasets and analytical models to support decision-making across the organization

• Help define and track key ecosystem metrics such as decentralization scores, transaction inclusion performance, validator health, and network economics

• Perform exploratory analysis to evaluate protocol updates, ecosystem initiatives, and user behavior trends

• Ensure data quality, consistency, and accuracy across reporting and analytical workflows

• Document methodologies, metrics definitions, and analytical processes to support transparency and knowledge sharing

You ideally have:

• 5+ years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, data science, or related roles

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience working with large and complex datasets

• Proficiency in SQL and experience with modern analytics tooling and data warehouses

• Experience building dashboards and visualizations using tools such as Allium, Dune, Hex, or crypto data-powered BI tools

• Experience working with big data platforms and analytical tooling such as ClickHouse, Databricks, Snowflake, or BigQuery

• Strong understanding of experimentation, metrics design, and statistical analysis

• Ability to communicate insights effectively to both technical and business audiences

• Especially beneficial if you have experience with Solana data and the Solana ecosystem
