Over the past 2 years, Stargate has grown to become by far the largest bridge in DeFi, having done over $30B in volume across 25 chains. 

The Stargate Foundation is an independent foundation dedicated to supporting the protocol and DAO. The Foundations role primarily is to facilitate the will of the DAO, including liaising with technical execution and business partners.

About the role 

As we continue to grow at Stargate, we're faced with an exciting set of challenges: more data, more developers, more teams, more projects, and more opportunities for innovation. To tackle these problems head-on, we're expanding our data team with a dedicated Data Analyst.

• Leveraging and expanding our ever-growing Kimball dimensional model.

• Compose pipelines by writing SQL code to clean, combine, refine, and aggregate data into the insights the organization needs.
