  • Working knowledge of EVM and non-EVM chains, bridging mechanics, gas optimization strategies, contract ABIs, and wallet security operations.
  • Strong operational discipline with ability to navigate fast-paced, contract-driven trading environments with minimal errors.
  • Comfortable using block explorers, RPC endpoints, and on-chain analytics tools (e.g., Dune, DefiLlama, Token Terminal).
  • Clear communicator with strong attention to detail and smart contract literacy.
  • Python, SQL or basic skills are a plus but not required.
Benefits
  • Bupa health & dental, Cycle to Work scheme, enhanced pension, and generous annual leave (25 days +).
