Role Summary We are looking for a technically curious and highly motivated Blockchain Technology & Analytics Analyst to support the evaluation, monitoring, and implementation of blockchain and digital asset technologies. This role combines blockchain data analytics, AI-assisted development and research, technical due diligence, and project execution . The ideal candidate is comfortable working hands-on with blockchain data and infrastructure while also being able to translate technical concepts into clear insights and presentations for business, product, technology, and client stakeholders. The candidate does not need to be a blockchain expert on day one, but should have a strong technical foundation, curiosity about emerging technologies, and the ability to rapidly learn new platforms and tools using AI-assisted development and research. A successful candidate will be someone who can take a relatively open-ended question such as "How is this validator performing?" , "How does this blockchain network work?" , or "Should we evaluate this technology provider?" and independently turn it into a structured technical investigation. They will be comfortable using AI tools, data, APIs, documentation, and hands-on experimentation to quickly develop an informed point of view, and then communicate the findings clearly to stakeholders. Responsibilities Blockchain Technology Research • Develop a working understanding of Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchains , including transactions, smart contracts, validators, nodes, RPC interfaces, and common infrastructure components. • Develop familiarity with blockchain ecosystems outside EVM, particularly Solana and Canton . • Use AI-driven research and analysis to evaluate the technical architecture, APIs, integration models, security considerations, and capabilities of blockchain and digital asset technology providers. • Conduct technical evaluations of platforms and providers such as Fireblocks, Turnkey, Zerohash, Chainalysis, Notabene , and other emerging blockchain infrastructure and compliance solutions. • Compare technology providers and clearly document capabilities, architectural tradeoffs, integration considerations, and potential use cases. Prototyping & Technical Experimentation • Assist with the development and deployment of proofs of concept (POCs) for blockchain and digital asset use cases. • Deploy and test applications, blockchain infrastructure, APIs, and supporting components on AWS and virtual machines . • Work with engineering and product teams to evaluate new blockchain technologies through hands-on experimentation. • Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate prototyping, troubleshooting, documentation, and technology evaluation. Blockchain Analytics & Validator Monitoring • Use Claude Code and other AI-assisted development tools to rapidly build dashboards, scripts, and analytical tools for monitoring blockchain infrastructure and validator performance. • Develop dashboards and analytics covering metrics such as validator fees and rewards, transaction volumes, transaction counts, aggregate transaction value, and other network performance indicators . • Use Allium, SQL, and blockchain datasets to conduct on-chain data analysis and answer product, technical, and business questions. • Write and troubleshoot JSON-RPC queries against blockchain nodes and RPC endpoints to retrieve blockchain, transaction, validator, and network information. • Analyze blockchain data to identify trends, anomalies, and insights relevant to product development and infrastructure operations. Technical Communication & Stakeholder Engagement • Translate complex blockchain concepts into clear explanations for technical and non-technical audiences. • Create executive-ready presentations, architecture diagrams, technical assessments, and recommendations for stakeholders across Visa. • Present findings from technology evaluations, blockchain analytics, and POCs to product, engineering, security, and business teams. • Support client engagements by contributing to technical discovery and due diligence , researching client technology requirements, and evaluating potential integration approaches. Project & Process Management • Coordinate cross-functional activities required to advance blockchain technology initiatives from evaluation through POC. • Project manage internal Visa processes associated with new technologies, including Security Assessments and other technology review processes . • Track dependencies, risks, decisions, action items, and approvals across technical and business stakeholders. • Work with internal teams, external technology providers, and clients to move technical evaluations and POCs forward.
