Crypto Research Lead in London

What We Are Building

The current major technological shift in finance saw AI analysing the market. But it stopped short of taking responsibility. We are building the company that finishes the job. Eunice is a vertical AI that closes the last mile for alternative assets - starting with digital assets, now expanding into private markets. We bridge the gap between regulators and industry leaders on real-world workflows, and we’re backed by $8 million led by Moonfire, with Speedinvest and Openspace Capital, to deepen our agent capabilities and grow the team.

Why is this exciting? Because it’s a conservative world, ripe for an AI-native solution. Trillions in assets are waiting to be transformed. In the coming years, every financial institution will have an AI agent that doesn’t just analyse, but acts with accountability. If that vision excites you, come help us build it.

Meet Eunice

We are not putting a thin AI layer on existing processes. We are rebuilding from first principles.

Eunice for Digital Assets: A trusted partner for the new economy. Already working with firms like Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Copper.co to navigate the complexities of digital assets with clarity and confidence.

Eunice for Private Markets: A strategic advantage for asset owners. Eunice delivers diligence they can defend - every conclusion traceable, evidence-backed, and ready for decision. Better analysis isn’t the hardest part anymore - AI has solved that. The hardest part is accountability. As alternative assets grow more complex and reach more retail, the ability to stand behind decisions has never mattered more. That’s what we’re building.

The Role

We’re hiring a Digital Asset Research Lead to own the quality, depth, and credibility of Eunice’s digital asset intelligence. You’ll report directly to our CTO and sit at the intersection of research, data, and product. Your mission: ensure that every piece of research Eunice produces - whether generated by AI or by your team - meets the standard that institutions trust enough to act on. This is a high-ownership, high-consequence role. You won’t just review what the AI produces - you’ll challenge it, refine it, and set the bar. In a world where anyone can generate a surface-level analysis with AI, your domain expertise and quality obsession are the moat. If you want a neat playbook and someone telling you what to do, you won’t like it here. If you want the opposite - the autonomy to define excellence, direct access to clients, and a straight line between your work this week and the product’s accuracy next week - this is as good as it gets.

What You’ll Do

• Research & Due Diligence: Produce and oversee institutional-grade analysis reports covering tokenomics, staking/burn mechanisms, legal and compliance risk, on-chain signals, and market structure. Design and customise due diligence questionnaires (DDQs) and risk frameworks tailored to each client’s appetite and regulatory context. Present research findings with authority - internally to product and engineering, externally to clients and prospects - demonstrating genuine domain expertise.
• On-Chain Data & Signals: Build meaningful metrics and signals using data from Allium / Dune Analytics or equivalent platforms. Develop efficient queries/algorithms for capturing various on-chain events, run rigorous backtesting directly on our AI and data platform.
• Credibility & Thought Leadership: Stay obsessively close to the market - regulatory shifts, protocol upgrades, emerging asset classes - and translate them into high-quality research content. Build Eunice’s external credibility through published insights that the industry reads and trusts.
• Team & Quality Leadership: Lead a small research team, setting the quality bar and delivery cadence. In the AI era, be the person who looks at every output with a healthy dose of doubt - ensuring the final product is something an institution can stake its reputation on.

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have

• Demonstrated digital asset research experience - a portfolio of analysis reports covering different asset types and dimensions (legal, compliance, tokenomics, on-chain, staking mechanisms).
• Hands-on crypto data skills - proven experience building dashboards, metrics, or signals on Dune or similar platforms, including writing SQL.
• An ownership mindset - you treat the output as yours, not the AI’s. You care enough to question, refine, and defend every conclusion.
• Quality obsession - in a world where AI makes “good enough” easy, you’re the person who insists on excellence.
• Excellent communication - you can explain complex ideas clearly to both technical teams and senior external stakeholders.
• Experience leading a team - even a small one. You know how to set standards, track delivery, and bring out the best in people.

A note on fit: We know it’s unlikely anyone checks every box. To us, strong ownership and passion are what matter most - in the right environment, the missing pieces can be learned, or happily covered by the team. If you’re excellent at the things that can’t be taught, we want to hear from you.

Why Eunice?

• Scaling fast - we are backed by Moonfire, Speedinvest, and Openspace Capital, and Locus Venture, and recognised in 2026’s Sifted100 list as one of the UK’s fastest-growing startups.
• Real clients, real traction - major institutions already trust Eunice for their digital asset workflows like Coinbase, Crypto.com and Copper.
• Founding-level impact - your work directly shapes the product, the market positioning, and the company trajectory.
• High learning curve, high autonomy - career-defining scope in a tight, tech- and research-heavy team built for execution.
• London hybrid (2 days/week in person) - a high-collaboration, fast-feedback environment.
• Competitive salary + meaningful equity.
