Talent Wanted. For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success. Fridtjof Nansen crossed the Arctic, going places no human had ever been. Together with our users, we're doing the same onchain: charting entirely new territory. Nansen is the onchain analytics platform traders and funds use to see what's actually happening on-chain. We label and track 500M+ blockchain addresses, the largest such dataset in the industry. Our mission: Surface the signal and create winners. This seat also comes with a defined runway: you'll start as an IC, with a clear path to Engineering Manager within 12–18 months for the right person.
