About Perena

Perena is the first stablecoin infrastructure project on Solana challenging the definition of money. Perena is building the financial infrastructure of the future—an on-chain, transparent, and programmable alternative to traditional banking. Today’s financial system is fragmented, capital-inefficient, and reliant on legacy infrastructure. Perena addresses these challenges by enabling seamless stablecoin liquidity, digital asset issuance, and real-world asset (RWA) integration, all built on blockchain rails. Perena’s technology allows users and institutions to transact, allocate capital, and manage risk in an open and efficient way. By rethinking how financial markets operate, Perena aims to create a more accessible, resilient, and scalable system for the next generation of digital finance. Perena has launched a multi-token stableswap called Numéraire, and are building a stablecoin launchpad, cross-chain stablecoin infra, and synthetic CDP money. If you're ready to help build the future of money, we’d love to have you on the team.

Role Overview

As a Data Scientist Research Intern at Perena, you will work alongside Perena’s Head of Research to analyze on-chain data, user interactions, and economic models to drive insights that shape product strategy and risk management. You will build predictive models, monitor KPIs, and optimize system design, propelling Perena’s product-market fit and operational efficiency. Your work will provide data-driven guidance on how our stablecoin is used, emitted, and sustained in the market.

Collaborate with engineering, product, and research teams to integrate data insights into decision-making.

Develop machine learning models and statistical methods to improve forecasting and risk assessment.

Optimize algorithmic mechanisms for stablecoin issuance, redemption, and arbitrage.

Monitor and assess network effects, adoption drivers, and capital efficiency of Perena’s products.

Create data pipelines and dashboards to track key on-chain and off-chain metrics.
