When hiring candidates, we look for signals that a candidate will thrive in our culture, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, grow rapidly, and love our work. We also know how critical it is to celebrate and support our differences. Employing a team rich in diverse thoughts, experiences and opinions enables our employees, our product and our community to flourish. We are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. To help facilitate this, we support remote, hybrid or onsite work at either New York City or San Francisco for the majority of our opportunities.

OpenSea is looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial and web3 native analyst to help size community feedback, surface early trends and analyze sentiment data to help inform our community and product roadmaps. This individual will work very closely with our Community, Data and Product teams.

Responsibilities

• Collect and combine data⁠—have your ear to the ground (Crypto Twitter, Discord, etc.) and analyze sentiment data on our social platforms; be able to combine this data, blockchain data, and our internal data using analytics tools including SQL and Python/R
• Analyze data⁠—sort through the noise to find the signal of early trends that should be on our radar; quantitatively size these trends on our larger user base to help us prioritize our roadmap (e.g. how many of our users are experiencing the same issue but haven’t taken the time to Tweet at us about it?)
• Share your analysis⁠—regularly share out this analysis of early trends and sentiment to the Community team and the larger company; communicate effectively the potential scale and urgency of these trends to a broad, cross-functional audience
• Quickly iterate⁠—iterate your approach based on feedback from the company and community more broadly; tune your ability to find the signal to help us all move faster, better, and more quickly to address and even anticipate our community’s needs

• 5+ years of experience in data analytics, with a strong quantitative background and experience with statistical analysis
• Fluency in SQL, Python/R, and (ideally) experience with Dune Analytics and other web3 analytics tools like Nansen

• Strong cross-functional skills and ability to operate under ambiguous and fast moving problem spaces
• Humility, humor, curiosity, resourcefulness, and a relentless drive to grow and learn
• Bonus points for web3 experience, a love for the community, and/or a degen portfolio
