Research Jobs at Paradigm

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 TWAMM, and helped the investment team evaluate key opportunities on the frontier of the space like Flashbots and StarkWare.

We’re looking for an exceptional security engineer with an adversarial mindset who can connect the dots that others cannot. This person would be responsible for ensuring the security of our portfolio companies as well as representing Paradigm within the crypto and security communities, all while enjoying a high degree of autonomy.
