Web3 Quantitative Analyst (on-chain)

Orca is the most user-friendly AMM DEX on Solana. This is an open call for all on-chain experts!

As one of the first protocols on Solana, we offer a unique chance to shape the culture of a growing ecosystem.

Example problems you might solve: • How can we categorize all the addresses trading on Solana DEXes by analyzing on-chain activity? • What kind of insights about user behavior can we get from categorizing addresses by on-chain activity? • How many LPs overlap in providing liquidity across multiple platforms? When do they move positions and what causes this behavior?

What you bring: • Experience querying and manipulating on-chain data, preferably on Solana • Understanding of and experience with data pipelines • Ability to package and clearly communicate insights identified to directly impact decision making • Resonance with Orca’s brand values (professional, principled, and playful 🐳) • Excellent English communication skills
