It’s rare that a new asset class is born. Nevertheless, we’re witnessing exactly that with the rise of crypto. Over just the last few years, crypto has evolved from an embryonic $50B market to a growing $3T+ juggernaut. At Bitwise, we believe that crypto has reached a turning point, and is headed north of $10T over the next few years.

This is an exciting moment for Bitwise as a firm. For seven years, we have established a track record of excellence managing a broad suite of index and active solutions across ETFs, separately managed accounts, private funds, staking solutions, and hedge fund strategies. This year, we crossed $12B in client assets and are growing quickly. Thousands of financial advisors, family offices, and institutional investors partner with Bitwise to understand and access the opportunities in crypto. We are known for providing unparalleled client support through expert research and commentary, a nationwide client team of crypto specialists, and deep access to the crypto ecosystem.

Currently, Bitwise is a close-knit team of 90+ professionals. Think of us as a mix of an asset manager and a tech start-up. We’re backed by some of the most accomplished investors in venture capital and veterans of the financial services world. We love working together, we love what we do, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.

We’re looking for an exceptional individual to join our team and take on important responsibilities to help Bitwise scale. You will report to the Head of Alpha Strategies and will be responsible for ongoing support on a wide range of projects. You will also collaborate closely with internal teams to optimize the client experience.

What You Will Do

  • Develop and enhance analytical tools with a primary focus on crypto volatility trading, focusing on alpha generation, statistical analysis, model implementation, portfolio construction, execution, and trade analysis. (Past experience with portfolio construction and implementation research is a plus.)
  • Analyze portfolio characteristics, attribute performance drivers, and design portfolio implementation analytics and risk management.
  • Leverage various third-party vendors and partners to build robust internal systems for high-performance historical simulation/backtesting capabilities.

  • Strong experience with databases is required, as well as an understanding of the data available in the investment management industry and experience in managing and accessing such data to support research and trading efforts.
  • 3-5+ years of work experience with working knowledge of basic options math. Bloomberg API familiarity is a plus.
  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal. Ability to build relationships with other teams to support investment and research processes.
