Web3 Recruit is hiring a

Web3 Senior Data Scientist - $200k

We are an infrastructure protocol for AVSs on EigenLayer to automate and optimize their restaker payments. In order to achieve this, we model the security needs of an AVS to determine the Profit from Corruption (PfC), how much value is at risk, and Cost of Corruption (CoC), how much value secures the protocol. This is used to allow AVSs to understand their security levels and plan to optimize them with our protocol. The responsibility for this role is to model the formulas for calculating the PfC and CoC. Formalizing the calculations requires understanding the underlying protocol mechanics and scenario implications.

Lead and drive innovative research to understand how different actors in the crypto market behave and interact.
Create precise formulas for calculating CoC and PfC for a variety of AVSs.
Create simulations to test and stress test these formulas
Build data models and visualizations of simulation results that provide intuitive analytics to customers.
