Head of Data & Quant Engineering

🚀 Join RedStone as Head of Data — Lead the Future of Blockchain Intelligence

RedStone is revolutionizing blockchain data with cutting-edge oracle infrastructure. We’ve secured $6B+ in TVS, raised $15M in Series A, and were recently selected by Forbes as the top VC-backed startup in Poland*. Now, we're looking for a Head of Data to lead our data efforts and shape how real-time, mission-critical blockchain data is processed, validated, and delivered across our protocol.

👥 About Us

We are a polish fast-growing blockchain startup of 40 people, with more than half of the team made up of senior-level engineers, DevOps, and other technical experts. Our mission is to redefine how smart contracts access and interact with off-chain data in a scalable, reliable, and secure way. We're backed by some of the most respected names in Web3 — including Arrington Capital, Stani Kulechov (Aave), and Gnosis. RedStone has already become a key player in the oracle space, providing secure, latency-optimized data feeds across multiple chains. Our team includes alumni of Google, OpenZeppelin, and leading crypto projects. While we work remotely across several time zones, we also maintain a Warsaw HQ where part of the team regularly meets for deep work and collaboration.
