Become a Krakenite and build the future of crypto!

At Kraken, onchain data isn’t just numbers, it’s the pulse of crypto. The Onchain team lives where code meets capital, turning raw blockchain data into insight, strategy, and alpha. We’re looking for a Data Analyst, Onchain, a true degen who’s fluent in wallets, mempools, and market structure, and who can translate that intuition into data models and dashboards that shape how Kraken builds and trades onchain. If you decompile smart contracts for fun, monitor DEX volume before coffee, and have opinions about MEV, this is your scene. You’ll help Kraken understand where liquidity lives, how capital moves, and what signals the next trade, product, or market entry.

The opportunity

Partner with product, trading, and data teams to uncover insights across the full onchain user journey from first trade to long‑term retention.

Build and maintain datasets capturing wallet activity, liquidity movement, feature usage and trading behavior.

Design metrics and dashboards in dbt and BI tools that reveal trends in user growth, engagement, and trading activity.

Analyze funnels, LTV, and retention metrics to inform product strategy and optimise user experience.

Investigate onchain signals (wallet clustering, transaction flow, and capital allocation) to identify growth opportunities.

Develop frameworks to attribute trading performance and ROI across products, markets and user segments.

Collaborate with engineers to scale onchain data pipelines and improve data quality and accessibility.

Communicate insights clearly and visually, translating complex blockchain data into simple actionable stories.

Skills You Should HODL

3+ years in product or trading analytics, ideally within crypto, fintech or data‑driven trading environments.

Strong grasp of onchain fundamentals — wallets, DEXs, liquidity, bridges and token mechanics.

Proficiency in SQL, Python (pandas, matplotlib, plotly) and dbt for modelling and analysis.

Capable of creating intuitive dashboards and visualisations to communicate complex insights clearly.

Familiarity with onchain data sources (Dune, Flipside, Nansen, APIs or subgraphs).

Proven ability to measure user behaviour and product health through LTV, retention, funnel and engagement metrics.

Strong communicator who can align data insights with product and trading strategies.

You’re crypto‑native — curious, analytical and hands‑on with the tools and products you analyse.

Nice to haves

Experience modelling MEV flows, liquidity provisioning or token distribution mechanics.

Exposure to algo trading, onchain market‑making or portfolio attribution systems.

Contributions to open‑source DeFi analytics or onchain dashboards.
