New York Remote (Global) Full-time

Merkle Science is hiring a Data Scientist — Blockchain Intelligence

Responsibilities

  • Design, test, and ship clustering and attribution heuristics, and measure them with real precision/coverage metrics rather than vibes.
  • Own your data end to end — pull, clean, join, and model large on-chain datasets without depending on a separate team for every query.
  • Build and maintain the pipelines that take a heuristic from notebook to production, including backfills, incremental runs, and validation.
  • Investigate edge cases (mixers, bridges, exchange hot wallets, consolidation patterns) and translate findings into repeatable logic.
  • Partner with investigations and product to define what "correct" looks like and benchmark against ground truth.
  • Prototype quickly, then harden what works.

Requirements

  • 4+ years building data science or data engineering systems that actually shipped (not just notebooks)
  • Strong Python and SQL; comfortable with large datasets and the gotchas of joins, dedup, and skew at scale
  • Solid grasp of clustering, graph/network analysis, or entity resolution — and a habit of validating results, not just producing them
  • Ability to reason about precision vs. coverage trade-offs and defend your metrics
  • Self-directed: you can scope an ambiguous problem, get the data yourself, and drive it to a result
