Paradigm is hiring a Web3 Research Associate
Location: San Francisco, CA
Paradigm is a San Francisco-based investment firm focused on crypto and blockchain-related technologies across the globe. We are a registered investment adviser with the SEC and make investments in companies and protocols at all stages, ranging from early-stage venture financing rounds to growth equity to liquid token assets. Paradigm was co-founded in 2018 by Matt Huang (former Partner at Sequoia Capital) and Fred Ehrsam (Co-founder of Coinbase), and since then we’ve been hard at work building a world-class team to support our portfolio of 30+ companies and the crypto ecosystem globally, with the broader goal of accelerating crypto’s ability to improve people’s lives worldwide.
The Paradigm research team is a unique institution — an industrial research organization embedded within an investment firm. The research team has collaborated with portfolio companies on projects like Uniswap v3 and Optimism, invented new protocols like the Yield Protocol and everlasting options, and helped the investment team evaluate key opportunities on the frontier of the space like Flashbots and StarkWare.
We’re looking to add a new research associate — someone capable of identifying, evaluating, and contributing to the technical projects and protocols that will influence the crypto economy in the years to come. This person’s average day would be split between externally-facing responsibilities like representing Paradigm within the crypto community and internally-facing ones like advising portfolio companies on complex, high-leverage technical decisions. Ultimately, we’re trying to find a futurist: someone who can look at the ongoing explosion of innovation that’s currently taking place within crypto, identify the most interesting and advantageous projects for us to support, and help those projects succeed.
