Equities Researcher

The Equities Researcher will help quantify and narrate Sei's momentum in institutional markets, leveraging Sei's technical performance and ecosystem adoption in capital-markets language.

In this public-facing, research-focused role you'll produce data-driven reports, token comps, and narrative decks showcasing Sei's institutional-grade infrastructure for RWAs and stablecoins. Partnering across growth, BD, and leadership teams, you'll translate capital markets terminology to highlight our traction (e.g. Apollo's $1.2B credit fund, Ondo's $685M tokenized treasury).

This fast-paced role will fuel our thought leadership and investor storytelling as Sei cements its position as the preferred global settlement layer.
