Data Engineer - DeFi

As a Data Pipeline Engineer, you would have a hand in the design, implementation, deployment, and support of our company's Data Service project. As a member of the Data Service team, you will work on foundational data infrastructure.
 
You’d optimize the company's external visibility and assist various 3rd party sources to leverage our Data Service. You’d help architect real-time microservices that capture the company's blockchain events and build systems that provide support to our external API services where users can monitor network health and other various analytics over time.
 
As a company team member, you would be responsible for creating technically viable software with a team of senior engineers specializing in DevOps, distributed systems, system architecture, testing, and other related fields. You would be collaborating with some of the most diligent minds in the cryptocurrency industry on product direction, both on the core company team and among its partners, investors, and advisors. As an early team member, you must feel comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where the solutions aren’t already predefined.
 
Prior experience with blockchain projects is helpful but we are primarily interested in the capacity to grow into the role. You should have prior experience in developing high-quality backend architecture and some passing knowledge of how such architecture principles should apply to blockchain data services.
 
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about being at the forefront of a new technological paradigm and can lead the design and development of scalable applications.
