Lido is looking for a hands-on Quantitative Analyst to help the Lido Ecosystem Foundation and the Lido DAO Treasury make sharper, data-driven treasury, liquidity, and risk decisions across on-chain and off-chain venues. You'll blend markets knowledge with rigorous modeling to improve asset allocation, design smarter liquidity mechanisms, and support operations across EVM ecosystems.
What You'll Do
- Contribute to quantitative frameworks and dashboards that improve asset allocation for the Foundations and support DAO proposals regarding Lido DAO Treasury asset diversification.
- Provide research and advisory support to curators of Lido-affiliated vaults, including drafting analytical notes, risk/return modeling, and monitoring of current vault allocations.
- Support the development of an asset allocation model for the Lido DAO Treasury and support treasury management efforts of the Lido Labs and Lido Ecosystem Foundations.
- Model stETH liquidity across on-chain AMMs, RFQ/MM venues, and centralized exchanges; quantify slippage, depth, and execution quality; stress test scenarios.
- Support negotiation of centralized-exchange liquidity provision agreements; monitor and report KPIs.
- Implement and support liquidity management across L2s/L1 and other EVM chains, including bridging, rebalancing, and routing.
- Prototype and evaluate improved mechanisms for liquidity provision and collaborate with engineering to ship production-grade tools.
- Build automated risk metrics, alerting, and weekly/monthly reports for stakeholders; communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
What We're Looking For
- Master’s degree in Quantitative Economics/Finance, Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
- 0-4 years of full-time professional experience, with some experience in financial services (e.g., buyside, sellside, risk management, market making, treasury, fintech, or crypto).
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, version control (git) and statistical modelling; ability to write clean, production-ready analyses.
- Strong understanding of crypto market microstructure and portfolio/risk concepts.
- Genuine interest in crypto/digital assets and on-chain market structure.
- Comfort collaborating with both technical and non-technical internal and external stakeholders.
Nice to Have
- Experience with the general DeFi landscape, DeFi/AMM models, and on-chain analytics.
- Experience writing queries for and building dashboards for onchain analytics on the Dune Analytics platform.
- Familiarity with EVM concepts, onchain data, bridging/L2 ecosystems, and basic Solidity literacy (reading contracts, event decoding).
- Practical experience with dashboarding (preferably Python-based frameworks) and data engineering basics; some experience with basic CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions).
Technical Stack
- Python, SQL, git
- Dune Analytics
- Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
- Solidity (basic literacy)
- GitHub Actions
Team & Environment
