This remote Crypto Analyst position pays $85,000 per year on a full-time basis, and location doesn't matter. The role sits on a fintech team that needs someone reading digital asset markets closely enough to turn noise into an actual recommendation.
A four-year degree is the education floor here. The field isn't locked to one discipline; finance, economics, and computer science backgrounds have all worked for this kind of role in the past. On the experience side, 18 months spent researching or trading cryptocurrency markets is what the posting asks for, and that time needs to have involved real market exposure rather than passive interest in crypto as a topic.
What the role covers day to day
You'll track price movement and shifting sentiment across major and mid-cap tokens, then dig into wallet activity and transaction flow using on-chain data to see what the price chart alone won't show. From there, the job is turning that research into something usable: written reports and recommendations that inform actual trading or investment calls rather than sitting in a folder unread.
A recent example from this kind of work: a spike in a token's trading volume looked bullish on the surface, but on-chain tracing showed most of it came from a handful of wallets cycling the same funds back and forth, not genuine new demand. Catching that distinction before a recommendation goes out is the difference between useful analysis and a costly false signal.
Skills this role needs
- Solid working knowledge of cryptocurrency markets, including how different token categories tend to behave
- On-chain data analysis, reading wallet and transaction activity directly rather than relying on secondhand summaries
- Financial research skills that hold up under scrutiny, not just surface-level chart reading
- Excel, for modeling and organizing data pulled from multiple sources
- A working grasp of blockchain fundamentals: how consensus, transactions, and tokens actually function
Beyond that core set, prior use of a dashboard tool like Dune Analytics or Nansen is a plus, as is comfort with TradingView for technical charting, or progress toward a CFA if the analyst side of the role appeals to you long term. These aren't required, just useful if you've already picked them up.
Pay and what comes with it
Along with the $85,000 salary, the role includes health coverage, paid time off, remote-work flexibility, and performance-based bonuses tied to how well your calls hold up over time. Naukri Mitra has run several fintech postings for this employer recently, and this one adds a tuition reimbursement or learning stipend on top of that, which past hires have used for certifications or specialized courses in blockchain analytics.
A note on the pace
Crypto markets don't keep business hours, and a major move can happen well outside a standard nine-to-five. This isn't a role where you're expected to monitor markets around the clock, but it does mean checking in occasionally outside typical hours when something significant is unfolding. Analysts who need a hard stop at 5pm every day tend to find that friction builds over time, while those who don't mind an occasional evening check-in adjust with little trouble.
Applying
Send along a writing sample that shows your analysis process, ideally a past report or an independent piece of research on a specific token or market trend. If you don't have formal work samples, a well-documented personal trading thesis works as a substitute, so long as it shows real reasoning rather than just a price prediction. Given the fully remote setup, a stable connection and enough flexibility to occasionally check in outside standard hours will serve you well here.
