Hundreds of companies, from the world's largest enterprises like Sony, Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, OKX, and Bitpanda to the most ambitious early-stage builders, use the OP stack to launch their own blockchains and bring their users onchain. Today, over 65% of Layer 2 activity on Ethereum runs through the OP stack.\nWe are a small team building at the speed of the ecosystem we support. The NYC office is our center of gravity, and we have a strong preference for people who can join us there on a hybrid schedule. We've raised $178M from a16z, Paradigm, and others. We have our work cut out for us and are looking for exceptional people to join us.\nAbout the role\nWe are looking for a Business Intelligence Lead to own the business analytics and reporting that inform OP Labs' commercial and strategic decisions. This senior individual contributor role sits within Data & Strategy and combines business judgment, crypto knowledge, and clear communication to explain performance and recommend action.\nYou will partner closely with leadership, Sales, Partnerships, Product, and Finance to analyze revenue, customer activity, pipeline, and ecosystem trends. You will independently identify and scope business questions, combine onchain data with commercial data and market research, and turn findings into business cases, recurring reports, and recommendations with measurable follow-through.\nWhat are the role responsibilities?\nOwn recurring business reporting: define and maintain metrics, dashboards, and business reviews that explain changes in revenue, customer activity, commercial pipeline, and ecosystem position.\n\nPartner with leadership, Business Development, Product, and Finance to identify and prioritize business questions, scope the analysis, and translate findings into decisions.\n\nOwn analytical SQL, metric definitions, and data validation. Reconcile commercial and onchain sources, document discrepancies, and partner with engineering on production data infrastructure.\n\nAnalyze customer segments, pipeline conversion, revenue concentration, retention, and performance drivers across OP Enterprise, OP Mainnet, and the Superchain. Test competing explanations and make uncertainty explicit.\n\nProduce concise memos, presentations, and dashboards that state the finding, supporting evidence, business implications, and recommended action.\n\nEvaluate crypto market and competitive developments, including adoption, liquidity, stablecoin activity, and fees, in the context of customer needs and business economics.\n\nBuild pricing analyses, revenue scenarios, market assessments, and partnership business cases with explicit assumptions and sensitivities; track results after decisions are made.\n\nImprove repeatable reporting and research workflows using SQL, BI tools, and AI-assisted analysis while remaining accountable for accuracy and source traceability.\n\nWhat skills do you bring?\n6+ years of experience in business analytics, business intelligence, strategy, management consulting, strategic finance, or a related analytical role.\n\nA relevant degree or equivalent practical experience. Management consulting experience, an MBA, or deep crypto industry knowledge are equally valued.\n\nStrong commercial judgment and experience building financial models and business cases that informed pricing, customer prioritization, partnerships, or resource allocation.\n\nExperience owning recurring reporting and analytical work across business functions, including agreeing metric definitions, reconciling sources, and resolving conflicting interpretations.\n\nStrong SQL, spreadsheet modeling, and data visualization skills, with the ability to inspect underlying data and validate results independently. Python for analysis and automation is a plus.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication, including concise executive recommendations, clear explanations of uncertainty, and constructive challenge with senior stakeholders.\n\nDemonstrated crypto knowledge is required: working understanding of Ethereum, L2s, stablecoins, DeFi, and crypto business models, with the ability to explain what onchain metrics do and do not establish.\n\nAbility to independently identify and scope ambiguous business questions, prioritize work, manage stakeholders, and follow recommendations through to measurable results.\n\nExperience using AI tools to accelerate analysis and reporting while checking source data, calculations, and conclusions.\n\nWhat we offer\nHealth, fully covered. OP Labs pays 100% of your health insurance premiums, with a range of medical, dental, and vision plans to choose from.\n\n401(k) with a 4% company match.\n\n$2,000 annual wellness stipend, to spend on whatever keeps you healthy and energized.\n\n$1,000 WFH setup stipend and $1,000 learning budget\n\nCompetitive compensation, including performance bonus and token grants - you share in the growth of what we're building together.\n\nFlexible time off. No fixed allotment. Take what you need.\n\n14 paid holidays, plus two Collective Pause weeks each year - the first week of July and the week between Christmas and New Year, when the whole company steps back at once.\n\nFour-week sabbatical after three years, three of them paid, with your equity and tokens vesting throughout.\n\nNew York hybrid, or location-flexible (team dependent). Commercial and growth teams work from our SoHo office three days a week; engineering and technical roles are location-flexible.\n\nWe get together in person. Every team carries a travel budget so remote teammates can join us in New York, and we bring the whole company together at offsites twice a year.\n\nWe are aware of fraudulent individuals falsely claiming to represent OP Labs in recruitment activities.\nPlease note:\nAll official communication will come from an @oplabs.co email address, or from a verified LinkedIn profile.\n\nWe will never ask for payment, banking information, or personal identification details at any stage of our hiring process.\n\nAll current openings are listed exclusively on our official careers page and linked from our verified social profiles.\n\nIf you’re ever unsure about a communication that claims to be from OP Labs, please contact us directly at  to verify authenticity.\n\nYour safety and trust are very important to us. Thank you for helping us prevent fraud.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6407,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible time off","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cryptocurrencies","Blockchain Infrastructure"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T08:18:08Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":252500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.592,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":245979,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/op-labs-staff-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/op-labs-staff-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T00:52:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1469,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":602},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=602"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fop-labs-staff-data-scientist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fop-labs-staff-data-scientist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fop-labs-staff-data-scientist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/op-labs-staff-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fop-labs-staff-data-scientist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":725625}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"oplabs.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":725625},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
