Job Description
The 4 biggest blockchain strengths are also its weakness Permissionless nature leads to fragmentation of meaning Decentralization leads to too many standards Immutability leads to exponential data + query infrastructure complexity Neutrality means that no one is accountable for interpretations Blockchain data is public. It is not usable at institutional scale. Despite being open, blockchain data is fragmented, hard to interpret, and painful to maintain. Even a simple question like "Who are the largest Ethereum token holders over time?" can require running nodes, ingesting full chain history, decoding contracts, cleaning edge cases, and writing complex SQL. Blockchains are optimized for writes, not reads. They are built for consensus and execution, not searchability, standardization, or financial interpretation. Blockchains are computers, not databases. Every protocol defines its own schema. The same economic action can be encoded in dozens of different ways.
The result:
Fragmented standards Exponential complexity No accountability for interpretation Events without economic meaning Finance cannot operate on that, it needs an effective system of record . Allium is building the System of Record for Onchain Finance Allium ingests, verifies, and standardizes data across 140+ blockchains and 30+ petabytes of history. We close four structural gaps that prevent blockchains from becoming systems of record:Semantic Gap:
Translating raw events into financial concepts like payments, trades, deposits, and staking incomeStandardization Gap:
Mapping thousands of protocols into a single canonical cross chain schemaInfrastructure Gap:
Read optimized, globally distributed data at web scaleAccountability Gap:
Auditable methodology, SLAs, and SOC 1 and 2 compliance The result is a neutral, canonical data layer institutions can build on with confidence. Finance is moving onchain Stablecoins, tokenized assets, trading, staking, and lending are growing rapidly. Institutions need a trusted source of truth for onchain financial activity, just as they rely on Bloomberg or DTCC in traditional markets. Raw blockchains cannot serve that role. As AI agents begin transacting autonomously, the requirement becomes even stricter. Agents cannot reason over raw event logs. They need structured data, attribution, condition checks, and auditability. Allium is the read layer that makes onchain finance usable for humans and machines. Who We Serve Allium powers three core personas with the same canonical data foundation: 1. Finance, Accounting, and Risk Teams They need reliable, audit grade answers. They rely on Allium for financial reporting, reconciliation, compliance, risk monitoring, and defensible metrics that can stand up to auditors and regulators. 2. Engineers and Product Teams They need low latency, production ready infrastructure. They use Allium to power wallets, trading systems, payment rails, staking infrastructure, and real time applications that cannot break. 3. Strategy, Research, and Executive Teams They need clarity and insight. They use Allium to understand ecosystem economics, market structure, user behavior, competitive dynamics, and where capital is flowing onchain. and of course.. agents π¦. Our customers and users include Visa, Stripe, G-SIB Banks, Big 4 Accounting firms, BCG, Coinbase, Phantom, Uniswap and cited by the Federal Reserve. The Role We're hiring our first Head of Marketing to build and own the marketing function from scratch. This is a rare opportunity to define how one of Web3's most serious data infrastructure companies shows up in the market β across developer communities, TradFi institutions, federal agencies, and the broader crypto ecosystem. You'll report directly to the CEO and work shoulder-to-shoulder with GTM leadership. You'll be expected to build pipeline, shape positioning, and turn Allium into the default brand when engineers, analysts, and institutions think about blockchain data. This isn't a brand exercise. It's a revenue function. Strong Preference for NYC based candidates.

Obsessiveness- The best people at Allium cannot put a problem down once they pick it up.
- Consistency. Day in and day out, in pursuit of excellence. A win yesterday does not guarantee (or even imply!) a win tomorrow. I hope anyone who supports a failing sports team will feel the pain ( cough Man United fan s) of inconsistency Figure It Out & Extreme Ownership
- Every day is unexplored territory.
- (One of) the highest commonality between all successful people is their responsiveness, most successful billionaire CEOs still reply to emails within minutes (within working hours). And when you reply, respond fast with effective solutions
- and even better, resolutions. If you're looking for a superpower, you can't go wrong with responsiveness. Well of course this doesn't make sense when you're an engineer coding in flow, but in general high agency of problem solving gets one very far in life Leading from the Front
- No one is going to listen (and adopt) your suggestion unless you lead by example.
- There are number of folks who live to eat at Allium, but the Allium smell we are talking about is that we love folks who naturally want to know why and how the work they are doing builds leverage for their teammates and also relates to the business goals About the team We invite people of all backgrounds (https://www.
- US folks get 100% coverage for Gold plans, 80% for dependents Ownership
- Meaningful early-stage equity. Every full-time employee receives a stock option grant so you can share directly in Allium's upside Time off
- Flexible, trust-based paid time off. We encourage people to take the rest they need. In every country we hire, our policies meet or exceed local statutory vacation requirements Retirement
- Company sponsored 401(k) plan in US so you can save pre-tax for the long term
Note:
The sun never sets on Allium- we hire from any geographical location as long as you are willing to overlap 2 hours overlap on NYC mornings Mon-Thurs from 10am-12pm ET.
