Remote Data Engineer (Fintech

Position: REMOTE DATA ENGINEER (FINTECH) Location: Indianapolis About The Company Our client is a global fintech company, with offices in NYC, London, Paris, and Singapore. Rapidly growing, they are the leading crypto market data provider for financial institutions and enterprises in the digital asset space. Our client is a team of +80 (and growing) passionate individuals with a deep interest in building data solutions and supporting the growth of the digital finance economy. About The Role The Challenge: You will be joining a fast-paced engineering team made up of people with significant experience working with terabytes of data. They believe that everybody has something to bring to the table, and therefore put collaborative effort and team-work above all else (and not just from an engineering perspective). You will be able to work autonomously as an equally trusted member of the team, and participate in efforts such as:

• Addressing high availability problems: cross-region data replication, disaster recovery, etc.
• Addressing “big data” problems: 200+ millions of messages/day, 160B data points since 2010
• Improving our development workflow, continuous integration, continuous delivery and in a broader sense our team practices
• Expanding our platform’s observability through monitoring, logging, alerting and tracing

What you’ll be doing:

• Design, develop and deploy scalable and observable backend microservices
• Reflect on our storage, querying and aggregation capabilities, as well as the technologies required to meet our objectives
• Work hand-in-hand with the business team on developing new features, addressing issues and extending the platform

Tech Stack: Golang, Kafka, Redis, Clickhouse, Postgres, Nomad, Terraform and Vault. About You:

• Significant experience as a Software/Data/Dev Ops Engineer
• Knowledgeable about data ingestion pipelines and massive data querying
• Worked with, in no particular order: microservices architecture, infrastructure as a code, self-managed services (eg. deploy and maintain our own databases), distributed services, server-side development, etc
• Two years of experience within Blockchain or Cryptocurrency

The most important skills for us revolve around two things:

• What we like to call “core” knowledge: what’s a software process, how does it interact with a machine’s or the network’s resources, what kind of constraints can we expect for certain workloads, etc
• How fast you can adapt to a technology you didn’t know existed 10 minutes ago

In short, we are looking for someone able to spot early on that spending 10 days to migrate data to a more efficient schema is the better solution compared to scaling out a database cluster in a matter of minutes if we are looking to improve performance in the long term. Nice to have

• Experience with data scraping over HTTP, Web Socket, and/or FIX Protocol
• Experience developing financial product methodologies for indices, reference rates, and exchange rates
• Knowledgeable about the technicalities of financial market data, such as the difference between: calls, puts, straddles, different types of bonds, swaps, CFD, CDS, options, futures, etc

Personal Skills

• Honest: receiving and giving feedback is very important to you
• Humble: making new errors is an essential part of your journey
• Empathetic: you feel a sense of responsibility for all the team’s endeavors rather than focus on individual contributions
• Committed: as an equally important member of the team, you want to make yourself heard while respecting everybody’s point of view
• Fluent in written and spoken English
• You have the utmost respect for legacy code and infrastructure, with some occasional and perfectly understandable respectful complaints
